The short-chain flavin reductases BorF and AbeF reduce FAD to FADH₂, which is then used by flavin-dependent halogenases (BorH and AbeH respectively) to regioselectively chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthesis of indolotryptoline natural products. Recombinant AbeF and BorF were overexpressed and purified as homodimers from E. coli, and copurified with substoichiometric amounts of FAD, which could be easily removed. AbeF and BorF can reduce FAD, FMN, and riboflavin in vitro and are selective for NADH over NADPH. Initial velocity studies in the presence and absence of inhibitors showed that BorF proceeds by a sequential ordered kinetic mechanism in which FAD binds first, while AbeF follows a random-ordered sequence of substrate binding. Fluorescence quenching experiments verified that NADH does not bind BorF in the absence of FAD, and that both AbeF and BorF bind FAD with higher affinity than FADH₂. pH-rate profiles of BorF and AbeF were bell-shaped with maximum kcₐₜ at pH 7.5, and site-directed mutagenesis of BorF implicated His160 and Arg38 as contributing to the catalytic activity and the pH dependence.
