Isolation and characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-degrading Sphingomonas sp. strain ZL5

A bacterial strain ZL5, capable of growing on phenanthrene as a sole carbon and energy source but not naphthalene, was isolated by selective enrichment from crude-oil-contaminated soil of Liaohe Oil Field in China. The isolate was identified as a Sphingomonas sp. strain on the basis of 16S ribosomal DNA analysis. Strain ZL5 grown on phenanthrene exhibited catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) activity but no catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase and protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase activities. This suggests that the mode of cleavage of phenanthrene by strain ZL5 could be meta via the intermediate catechol, which is different from the protocatechuate way of other two bacteria, Alcaligenes faecelis AFK2 and Nocardioides sp. strain KP7, also capable of growing on phenanthrene but not naphthalene. A resident plasmid (approximately 60 kb in size), designated as pZL, was detected from strain ZL5. Curing the plasmid with mitomycin C and transferring the plasmid to E. coli revealed that pZL was responsible for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degradation. The C23O gene located on plasmid pZL was cloned and overexpressed in E. coli JM109(DE3). The ring-fission activity of the purified C23O from the recombinant E. coli on dihydroxylated aromatics was in order of catechol > 4-methylcatechol > 3-methylcatechol > 4-chlorocatechol > 3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene > 3-chlorocatechol.     

Sequence of the gene (pheA) encoding phenol monooxygenase from Pseudomonas sp. EST1001: expression in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida.

The plasmid pEST1412 contains the genes, pheA and pheB, encoding phenol monooxygenase (PMO) and catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C12]), respectively. Thse were originally cloned from the plasmid DNA of Pseudomonas sp. EST1001 [Kivisaar et al., Plasmid 24 (1990) 25-36]. Although pheA and pheB are cotranscribed using the promoter sequences derived from Tn4652 and the level of expression of C120 activities from pEST1412 was equal both in Escherichia coli and in Pseudomonas putida, the level of PMO activity measured in the cell-free extracts of E. coli was lower than that in P. putida. The nucleotide sequence of the 2.0-kb PstI-HindIII fragment of pEST1412 carrying pheA was determined. A 1821-bp ORF was found in this DNA. The structural gene (tfdB) encoding 2,4-dichlorophenol hydroxylase from pJP4 has been sequenced [Perkins et al., J. Bacteriol. 172 (1990) 2351-2359]. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of tfdB and pheA revealed highly conserved regions in the protein products of these genes.

Role of tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) and tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II) gene modules in catabolism of 3-chlorobenzoate by Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4)

The enzymes chlorocatechol-1,2-dioxygenase, chloromuconate cycloisomerase, dienelactone hydrolase, and maleylacetate reductase allow Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4) to degrade chlorocatechols formed during growth in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate or 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CB). There are two gene modules located in plasmid pJP4, tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) (module I) and tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II) (module II), putatively encoding these enzymes. To assess the role of both tfd modules in the degradation of chloroaromatics, each module was cloned into the medium-copy-number plasmid vector pBBR1MCS-2 under the control of the tfdR regulatory gene. These constructs were introduced into R. eutropha JMP222 (a JMP134 derivative lacking pJP4) and Pseudomonas putida KT2442, two strains able to transform 3-CB into chlorocatechols. Specific activities in cell extracts of chlorocatechol-1,2-dioxygenase (tfdC), chloromuconate cycloisomerase (tfdD), and dienelactone hydrolase (tfdE) were 2 to 50 times higher for microorganisms containing module I compared to those containing module II. In contrast, a significantly (50-fold) higher activity of maleylacetate reductase (tfdF) was observed in cell extracts of microorganisms containing module II compared to module I. The R. eutropha JMP222 derivative containing tfdR-tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) grew four times faster in liquid cultures with 3-CB as a sole carbon and energy source than in cultures containing tfdR-tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II). In the case of P. putida KT2442, only the derivative containing module I was able to grow in liquid cultures of 3-CB. These results indicate that efficient degradation of 3-CB by R. eutropha JMP134(pJP4) requires the two tfd modules such that TfdCDE is likely supplied primarily by module I, while TfdF is likely supplied by module II.     

Cloning and characterization of a chromosome-encoded catechol 2,3-dioxygenase gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa ZD 4-3

Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O), one of extradiol-type dioxygenases cleaving the aromatic C-C bond at the meta-position of dihydroxylated aromatic substrates, catalyzes the conversion of catechol to 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. Based on curing experiment, PCR identification, and Southern hybridization, the gene responsible for C23O was localized on a 3.5-kb EcoRI/BamHI fragment and cloned from P. aeruginosa ZD 4-3 able to degrade both single and bicyclic compounds via the meta-cleavage pathway. A complete nucleotide sequence analysis of the C23O revealed that it had one ORF, which showed a strong amino acid sequence similarity to the known C23Os of mesophilic gram-negative bacteria. The alignment analysis indicated that distinct difference existed between the C23O in this study and the 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenases cleaving bicyclic aromatic compounds. The heterogenous expression of the pheB gene in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) demonstrated that this C23O possessed a meta-cleavage activity.     

Cloning of a gene encoding hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase that catalyzes both intradiol and extradiol ring cleavage of catechol.

Two Escherichia coli transformants with catechol 1,2-dioxygenase activity were selected from a gene library of the benzamide-assimilating bacterium Arthrobacter species strain BA-5-17, which produces four catechol 1,2-dioxygenase isozymes. A DNA fragment isolated from one transformant contained a complete open reading frame (ORF). The deduced amino acid sequence of the ORF shared high identity with hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase. An enzyme expressed by the ORF was purified to homogeneity and characterized. When hydroxyquinol was used as a substrate, the purified enzyme showed 6.8-fold activity of that for catechol. On the basis of the sequence identity and substrate specificity of the enzyme, we concluded that the ORF encoded hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase. When catechol was used as a substrate, cis,cis-muconic acid and 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde, which were products by the intradiol and extradiol ring cleavage activities, respectively, were produced. These results showed that the hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase reported here was a novel dioxygenase that catalyzed both the intradiol and extradiol cleavage of catechol.     

Identification of a novel gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Silicibacter pomeroyi</Emphasis>

A 1,125-bp long ORF encoding a novel gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase with two-domain bicupins was cloned from Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-3 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The resulting product was purified to homogeneity and partially characterized. Non-reductive SDS-PAGE and gel filtration showed that the active recombinant gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase had an estimated molecular mass of 132 kDa, and reductive SDS-PAGE indicated an approximate size of 45 kDa. The enzyme thus appears to be a homotrimeric protein. This is in contrast to the homotetrameric or dimeric protein of the gentisate 1,2-dioxygenases that have been characterized thus far. The K (m) and K (cat)/K (m) for gentisate were 12 muM and 653 x 10(4) M(-1 )s(-1); the pI was 4.6-4.8. It was optimally active at 40 degrees C and pH 8.0.
