Regioselective halogenation of electron rich substrates is catalysed by flavin-dependent halogenases. Thienodolin produced by Streptomyces albogriseolus contains a chlorine atom in the 6-position of the indole ring system and is believed to be derived from tryptophan. Using the gene of the tryptophan 7-halogenase (PrnA) from the pyrrolnitrin biosynthetic gene cluster the gene for a tryptophan 6-halogenase was cloned, sequenced and heterologously overexpressed in Pseudomonas strains. In vitro activity of the purified enzyme could only be shown in a two-component enzyme system consisting of the halogenase, a flavin reductase, NADH, FAD and halide ions. The enzyme catalyses the regioselective chlorination and bromination of l- and d-tryptophan. In its native form the enzyme is probably a homodimer with a relative molecular mass of the subunits of 63 600 (including the His-tag). Transformation of the pyrrolnitrin producer Pseudomonas chlororaphis ACN with a plasmid containing the tryptophan 6-halogenase gene lead to the formation of the new aminopyrrolnitrin derivative 3-(2'-amino-4'-chlorophenyl) pyrrole.
