Functional expression of nitrile hydratase in Escherichia coli: requirement of a nitrile hydratase activator and post-translational modification of a ligand cysteine

The nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus sp. N-771 is a photoreactive enzyme that is inactivated on nitrosylation of the non-heme iron center and activated on photo-dissociation of nitric oxide (NO). The nitrile hydratase operon consists of six genes encoding NHase regulator 2, NHase regulator 1, amidase, NHase alpha subunit, NHase beta subunit and NHase activator. We overproduced the NHase in Escherichia coli using a T7 expression system. The NHase was functionally expressed in E. coli only when the NHase activator encoded downstream of the beta subunit gene was co-expressed and the transformant was grown at 30 degrees C or less. A ligand cysteine, alphaCys112, of the recombinant NHase was also post-translationally modified to a cysteine-sulfinic acid similar to for the native NHase. Although another modification of alphaCys114 could not be identified because of the instability under acidic conditions, the recombinant NHase could be reversibly inactivated by nitric oxide.

Methods for increasing nitrile biotransformation into amides using Mesorhizobium sp

Nitriles are potential soil pollutants from industrial wastewater. There has been increased demand for efficient process for nitrile degradation process. Nitrile hydratase (NHase) has been extensively used in the production of acrylamide and treatment of organocyanide contaminated industrial effluents. The NHase of Mesorhizobium sp., isolated from polyacrylonitrile activated sludge from fiber manufacturing wastewater treatment systems was studied in the whole bacterial cells. Different chemicals were added to observe the variation in the percentage of acrylonitrile converted into acrylamide. The result indicated that cobalt ions were the NHase cofactor and could increase the NHase activity. The addition of propionaldehyde, or butyraldehyde could enhance the acrylonitrile conversion rate. Therefore, acrylamide could be accumulated effectively and the percentage of acrylonitrile converted into acrylamide increased. Propionaldehyde was the most effective NHase activator. The percentage of acrylonitrile converted into acrylamide was nearly 100% at 3.8 h when propionaldehyde was added at about 207.4 mg/l. The addition of benzaldehyde was unable to increase the percentage of acrylonitrile converted into acrylamide. EDTA and acrylamide showed no effect on NHase activity. However, 0.1 mg/l of Ag2SO4 would slightly inhibit NHase activity, producing an acrylonitrile conversion rate of 492.9 mg/l with 54.9% converted at 29.1 h. The ability of the acrylonitrile biotransformation was completely inhibited if the Ag2SO4 concentration was above 0.5 mg/l.

Cobalt-substituted Fe-type nitrile hydratase of Rhodococcus sp. N-771

When the genes encoding alpha and beta subunits of Fe-type nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus sp. N-771 were expressed in Escherichia coli in Co-supplemented medium without co-expression of the NHase activator, the NHase specifically incorporated not Fe but Co ion into the catalytic center. The produced Co-substituted enzyme exhibited rather weak NHase activity, initially. However, the activity gradually increased by the incubation with an oxidizing agent, potassium hexacyanoferrate. The oxidizing agent is likely to activate the Co-substituent by oxidizing the Co atom to a low-spin Co(3+) state and/or modification of alphaCys-112 to a cysteine-sulfinic acid. It is suggested that the NHase activator not only supports the insertion of an Fe ion into the NHase protein but also activates the enzyme via the oxidation of its iron center.     

Cloning and functional expression of a nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus equi TG328-2 in Escherichia coli, its purification and biochemical characterisation

The nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) genes (α and β subunit) and the corresponding activator gene from Rhodococcus equi TG328-2 were cloned and sequenced. This Fe-type NHase consists of 209 amino acids (α subunit, M_r 23 kDa) and 218 amino acids (β subunit, M_r 24 kDa) and the NHase activator of 413 amino acids (M_r 46 kDa). Various combinations of promoter, NHase and activator genes were constructed to produce active NHase enzyme recombinantly in E. coli. The maximum enzyme activity (844 U/mg crude cell extract towards methacrylonitrile) was achieved when the NHase activator gene was separately co-expressed with the NHase subunit genes in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The overproduced enzyme was purified with 61% yield after French press, His-tag affinity chromatography, ultrafiltration and lyophilization and showed typical Fe-type NHase characteristics: besides aromatic and heterocyclic nitriles, aliphatic ones were hydrated preferentially. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 6,290 U/mg towards methacrylonitrile. Enantioselectivity was observed for aromatic compounds only with E values ranging 5–17. The enzyme displayed a broad pH optimum from 6 to 8.5, was most active at 30°C and showed the highest stability at 4°C in thermal inactivation studies between 4°C and 50°C.     

Effect of growth media on cell envelope composition and nitrile hydratase stability in Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain DAP 96253

Rhodococcus is an important industrial microorganism that possesses diverse metabolic capabilities; it also has a cell envelope, composed of an outer layer of mycolic acids and glycolipids. Selected Rhodococcus species when induced are capable of transforming nitriles to the corresponding amide by the enzyme nitrile hydratase (NHase), and subsequently to the corresponding acid via an amidase. This nitrile biochemistry has generated interest in using the rhodococci as biocatalysts. It was hypothesized that altering sugars in the growth medium might impact cell envelope components and have effects on NHase. When the primary carbon source in growth media was changed from glucose to fructose, maltose, or maltodextrin, the NHase activity increased. Cells grown in the presence of maltose and maltodextrin showed the highest activities against propionitrile, 197 and 202?units/mg cdw, respectively. Stability of NHase was also affected as cells grown in the presence of maltose and maltodextrin retained more NHase activity at 55?°C (45 and 23?%, respectively) than cells grown in the presence of glucose or fructose (19 and 10?%, respectively). Supplementation of trehalose in the growth media resulted in increased NHase stability at 55?°C, as cells grown in the presence of glucose retained 40?% NHase activity as opposed to 19?% without the presence of trehalose. Changes in cell envelope components, such mycolic acids and glycolipids, were evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC), respectively. Changing sugars and the addition of inducing components for NHase, such as cobalt and urea in growth media, resulted in changes in mycolic acid profiles. Mycolic acid content increased 5 times when cobalt and urea were added to media with glucose. Glycolipids levels were also affected by the changes in sugars and addition of inducing components. This research demonstrates that carbohydrate selection impacts NHase activity and stability. Cell envelope components such as mycolic acids are also influenced by sugars and inducers such as cobalt and urea. This is information that can be useful when implementing rhodococcal catalysts in industrial applications.     

Purification of a hyperactive nitrile hydratase from resting cells of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34

A propionitrile-induced nitrile hydratase (NHase), a promising biocatalyst for synthesis of organic amides has been purified from cell-free extract of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34. About 11-fold purification of NHase was achieved with 52% yield. The SDS-PAGE of the purified enzyme revealed that it consisted of two subunits of 25.04 kD and 30.6 kD. However, the molecular weight of holoenzyme was speculated to be 86 kD by native-PAGE. This NHase exhibited maximum activity at pH 8.0 and temperature 40°C. Half-life was 2 h at 40°C and 0.5 h at 50°C. The Km and Vmax were 167 mM and 250 μmole/min/mg using 25 mM 3-cyanopyridine as substrate. AgNO₃, Pb(CH₃COO)₂ and HgCl₂ inhibited the NHase to extent of 89–100%.     

Motif CXCC in nitrile hydratase activator is critical for NHase biogenesis in vivo

Nitrile hydratase (NHase) activator from Rhodococcus sp. N-771 is required for NHase functional expression. The motif 73CXCC76 in the NHase activator sequence was here revealed to be vital for its function by site-directed mutagenesis. All three substitutions of the cysteines by serines resulted in a much lower level of expression of active NHase. Furthermore, interaction between NHase activator and NHase was detected and the critical role of NHase activator was not exhibited in the cysteine oxidization process of NHase. These findings suggest NHase activator mainly participates in iron trafficking in NHase biogenesis as an iron type metallochaperone.     

Surface modification of polyacrylonitrile with nitrile hydratase and amidase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens

A new strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (BST05) was found to grow on polyacrylonitrile (PAN; ¹³C labelled) converting the polymer to polyacrylic acid as shown by solid state NMR. When cultivated in a medium containing acetonitrile the bacterium produced nitrile hydratase and amidase activity. Activity recovery after lyophilisation and enzyme stability was significantly enhanced in the presence of 5% sorbitol leading to half life times of 12, 72 and 154 days at 25°C, 4°C and -20°C. The enzymes were able to convert 1.1% of the nitrile groups of PAN-powder to the corresponding acids. PAN fabrics were mainly converted to the amides as shown by an 80% increase of the O/C ratio in ESCA analysis. These data were confirmed by cationic dyeing and FTIR-ATR analysis.
