Sumario:Pyruvate-dependent aldolases exhibit a stringent selectivity for pyruvate, limiting their synthetic potential application, a drawback shared with other existing aldolases. Structure-guided rational protein engineering rendered a 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-rhamnonate aldolase variant, fused with maltose binding protein (MBP-YfaU W23V/L216A), capable to efficiently convert larger pyruvate analogs, e.g. having linear and branched aliphatic chains, in aldol addition reactions. Combination of these nucleophiles with N-Cbz-alaninal and N-Cbz-prolinal electrophiles gave access to chiral building blocks, e.g. derivatives of (2S,3S,4R)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-2-methylpentanoic acid (68%, dr 90:10) and the enantiomer of Dolaproine (33%, dr 94:6) as well as a collection of unprecedented α-amino acid derivatives of the proline and pyrrolizidine type, with conversions varying between 6-93% and diasteromeric ratios from 50:50 to 95:5 depending on the nucleophilic and electrophilic components
