We describe a computationally designed enzyme, formolase (FLS), which catalyzes the carboligation of three one-carbon formaldehyde molecules into one three-carbon dihydroxyacetone molecule. The existence of FLS enables the design of a new carbon fixation pathway, the formolase pathway, consisting of a small number of thermodynamically favorable chemical transformations that convert formate into a three-carbon sugar in central metabolism. The formolase pathway is predicted to use carbon more efficiently and with less backward flux than any naturally occurring one-carbon assimilation pathway. When supplemented with enzymes carrying out the other steps in the pathway, FLS converts formate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and other central metabolites in vitro. These results demonstrate how modern protein engineering and design tools can facilitate the construction of a completely new biosynthetic pathway. Significance This paper describes the development of a computationally designed enzyme that is the cornerstone of a novel metabolic pathway. This enzyme, formolase, performs a carboligation reaction, directly fixing one-carbon units into three-carbon units that feed into central metabolism. By combining formolase with several naturally occurring enzymes, we created a new carbon fixation pathway, the formolase pathway, which assimilates one-carbon units via formate. Unlike native carbon fixation pathways, this pathway is linear, not oxygen sensitive, and consists of a small number of thermodynamically favorable steps. We demonstrate in vitro pathway function as a proof of principle of how protein design in a pathway context can lead to new efficient metabolic pathways.
