We isolated the two LysR-type regulatory proteins CatR1 and CatR2, which regulate the expression of cat1 and cat2 gene clusters, respectively, required for catechol degradation in the bacterium Frateuria sp. ANA-18. In a gel mobility shift assay using CatR1 and the DNA fragment containing the catB1 promoter region, the formation of two complexes, complex 1-1 (C1-1) and complex 1-2 (C1-2), was observed in the presence of cis,cis-muconate. On the other hand, CatR2 and the DNA fragment containing the catB2 promoter region formed only complex 2-2 (C2-2) at a lower concentration of cis,cis-muconate than that at which C1-1 and C1-2 were formed. As the concentration of cis,cis-muconate decreased, the production of the muconate cycloisomerase isozyme MC II encoded by catB2 decreased as well as that of MC I encoded by catB1. However, the amount of MC II synthesized was larger than that of MC I at low concentrations. On the basis of these results, we concluded that the catB2 promoter was activated at low concentrations of cis,cis-muconate. 相似文献

In Pseudomonas putida, the catBC operon encodes enzymes involved in benzoate degradation. Previous studies have determined that these enzymes are induced when P. putida is grown in the presence of benzoate. Induction of the enzymes of the catBC operon requires an intermediate of benzoate degradation, cis,cis-muconate, and a regulatory protein, CatR. It has been determined that CatR binds to a 27-bp region of the catBC promoter in the presence or absence of inducer. We have called this the repression binding site. In this study, we used a gel shift assay to demonstrate that the inducer, cis,cis-muconate, increases the affinity of CatR for the catBC promoter region by 20-fold. Furthermore, in the absence of cis,cis-muconate, CatR forms two complexes in the gel shift assay. The inducer cis,cis-muconate confers specificity primarily for the formation of complex 2. DNase I footprinting showed that an additional 27 bp of the catBC promoter region is protected by CatR in the presence of cis,cis-muconate. We have named this second binding site the activation binding site. Methylation interference footprinting determined that in the presence or absence of inducer, five G nucleotides of the catBC promoter region were necessary for CatR interaction with the repression binding site, while a single G residue was important for CatR interaction with the activation binding site in the presence of cis,cis-muconate. Using polymerase chain reaction-generated constructs, we found that the binding of CatR to the repression binding site is independent of the activation binding site. However, binding of CatR to the activation binding site required an intact repression binding site. 相似文献

Summary 3-Chlorobenzoate grown cells of Pseudomonas sp. strain B13 or Alcaligenes sp. strain A7-2 converted 3-fluorobenzoate to 2-fluoro-cis,cis-muconate with 87% yield. The latter strain produced 1.6 g/l. The type II muconate cycloisomerases of neither strain exhibit acitivity for 2-fluoro-cis,cis-muconate. Succinate grown cells of Pseudomonas sp. strain B13 converted benzoate to cis,cis-muconate (91% yield; 7.4 g/l). Enzyme tests confirmed that no muconate cycloisomerising enzyme was induced within 24 h. 相似文献

Steady-state kinetic analysis of the divalent metal ion requiring cis,cis-muconate cycloisomerase catalyzed interconversion of cis,cis-muconate and (+)-muconolactone obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics and the Haldane relationship from pH 6.2 to 8.3. The pH vs. kcat/Km profiles suggest free-enzyme apparent pKa values of 6.2 and 7.4: the reciprocal behavior of the data with respect to the latter pKa value is consistent with base-acid catalysis by the enzyme involving proton removal from the lactone and protonation of cis,cis-muconate, respectively. This catalysis by the enzyme of proton transfer is consistent with the stereospecific incorporation of solvent deuterium into the pro-5R position of (+)-muconolactone in the enzyme-catalyzed reaction: in reverse, the departure of the carboxylic oxygen atom and proton from the C(4) and C(5) carbon atoms follows a syn (cis) route [Avigad, G., & Englard, S. (1969) Fed. Proc., Fed. Am. Soc. Exp. Biol. 28, 345, Abstr. 486]. The titration of enzyme freed of divalent metal ion with manganous ion, monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and steady-state kinetic measurements, indicates a single binding site per subunit characterized by KdissE X Mn = [E] [Mn2+]/[E X Mn2+] = 4.5 and 3.0 microM, respectively, the latter value analyzed via a rapid equilibrium mechanism. The paramagnetic effects of Mn2+ on the 1/T1 and 1/T2 values for the H-5S proton of (+)-muconolactone in the E X ML X Mn ternary complex provide an estimate of the correlation time, tau c, at 5 X 10(-9) s from the T1/T2 ratio, indicating that the condition of rapid exchange of (+)-muconolactone in solution with the ternary complex obtains.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The xylanolytic extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor owensensis provides a promising platform for xylan utilization. In the present study, two novel xylanolytic enzymes, GH10 endo-β-1,4-xylanase (Coxyn A) and GH39 β-1,4-xylosidase (Coxyl A) encoded in one gene cluster of C.owensensis were heterogeneously expressed and biochemically characterized. The optimum temperature of the two xylanlytic enzymes was 75°C, and the respective optimum pH for Coxyn A and Coxyl A was 7.0 and 5.0. The difference of Coxyn A and Coxyl A in solution was existing as monomer and homodimer respectively, it was also observed in predicted secondary structure. Under optimum condition, the catalytic efficiency (k
cat/K
m) of Coxyn A was 366 mg ml−1 s−1 on beechwood xylan, and the catalytic efficiency (k
cat/K
m) of Coxyl A was 2253 mM−1 s−1 on pNP-β-D-xylopyranoside. Coxyn A degraded xylan to oligosaccharides, which were converted to monomer by Coxyl A. The two intracellular enzymes might be responsible for xylooligosaccharides utilization in C.owensensis, also provide a potential way for xylan degradation in vitro. 相似文献

The inducible enzyme catalysing the conversion of cis,cis-muconate to (+)-muconolactone was purified 300-fold from the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum, grown on phenol. The enzyme has a sharp pH optimum at pH 6.6. It reacts also with several monohalogen derivatives and with one monomethyl derivative of cis,cis-muconate, but not with cis,trans- or trans,trans-muconate or 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate. In contrast with the corresponding enzymes in bacteria, the yeast enzyme does not require added divalent metal ions for activity and is not inhibited by EDTA. The purified enzyme can be resolved into two peaks by isoelectric focusing. The two forms have pI 4.58 (cis,cis-muconate cyclase I) and pI 4.74 (cis, cis-muconate cyclase II), respectively. Each of these is homogenous on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the absence or presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. The two enzyme forms have the same molecular weight (50000) as determined by gel filtration and by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. They have the same Km value (25 microM) for cis,cis-muconate. They differ with respect to their content of free thiol groups. cis, cis-Muconate cyclase I contains one thiol group, essential for activity, but relatively stable upon storage. cis, cis-Muconate cyclase II contains two thiol groups that are readily oxidized during storage with concomitant loss of activity. 相似文献

The plasmid-borne pheBA operon of Pseudomonas putida strain PaW85 allows growth of the host cells on phenol. The promoter of this operon is activated by the chromosomally encoded LysR-type regulator CatR, in the presence of the inducer cis, cis-muconate. cis, cis -muconate is an intermediate of catechol degradation by the chromosomally encoded ortho or β-ketoadipate pathway. The catBC operon encodes two enzymes of the β-ketoadipate pathway and also requires CatR and cis, cis-muconate for its expression. The promoters of the pheBA and catBC operons are highly homologous, and since both respond to CatR, it is likely that the pheBA promoter was recruited from the ancestral catBC promoter. Gel shift assays and DNase I footprinting have shown that the pheBA promoter has a higher binding affinity for CatR than the catBC promoter. Like the catBC promoter, the pheBA promoter forms two complexes (C1 and C2) with CatR in the absence of cis, cis-muconate, but only forms a single complex (C2) in the presence of cis, cis-muconate. Like the catBC promoter CatR repression binding site (RBS) and activation binding site (ABS) arrangement, the pheBA promoter demonstrates the presence of a 26 bp segment highly homologous to the RBS that is protected by CatR from DNase I digestion in the absence of the inducer. An additional 16 bp sequence, similar to the catBC promoter ABS, is protected only when the inducer cis-cis-muconate is present. The binding of CatR in absence of cis, cis -muconate bends the catBC and pheBA promoter regions to significantly different degrees, but CatR binding in the presence of cis, cis-muconate results in a similar degree of DNA bending. The evolutionary implications of the interactions of CatR with these two promoters are discussed. 相似文献

The Cu(II) or Ni(II) ion-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl 2-carboxy-6-(2-imidazoleazo)benzoate (1) and the corresponding dimethyl ester (2) was studied kinetically at various pH values. For 2, the ester group located at the o position to the azo substiuent was hydrolyzed. From the rate data obtained at various metal concentrations, the values of kcat and Kf were estimated at each pH value. For the Ni(II)-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1 at pH < 4, kcat increases as pH is lowered, indicating bifunctional catalysis by the carboxyl group and the metal ion. For most of the reactions investigated under other conditions, the ester hydrolysis was subjected to sole catalysis by the metal ions. Detailed analysis of kinetic data obtained for these reactions indicated that the metal-ion catalysis involves the rate-determining breakdown of the tetrahedral intermediates formed by the addition of a water molecule or hydroxide ion. The bifunctional catalysis by the carboxyl group and Ni(II) ion can be considered as a model for carboxypeptidase A. The kinetic data indicate that the bifunctional catalysis proceeds through the nucleophilic attack of the carboxylate ion at the Ni(II)-coordinated carbonyl group. 相似文献

The 3.7 kb XbaI fragment harbouring the cryIVB gene which encoded a 130 kDa mosquitocidal toxin protein from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (B.t.i.) was placed downstream to the cat-86 gene promoter (P
cat-86, spore stage specific expression) or bgaB gene promoter (P
bgaB
, vegetative stage specific expression). The constructs were subcloned into pBC16 to obtain pBTC3 and pBTC6, respectively. Both plasmids and the other construct, pBTC1 were successfully transferred into B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis c4Q2-72 and B. sphaericus 2362. Western blot analysis showed that P
bgaB
in front of P
cryIVB
could enable cells to produce a 130 kDa protein from the vegetative stage (4 h) whereas those with P
cat-86 could not. The positive detection of 130 kDa crystal protein during the vegetative stage (4 h) by Western blot analysis indicated the vegetative-stage-specific expression of P
bgaB
, while the 130 kDa crystal protein produced from cryIVB gene under control of P
cat-86 was detected only at 48 h. The strong activity of P
bgaB
, together with P
cryIVB
within pBTC6 in both bacterial hosts was also shown by the toxicity assay against Aedes aegypti larvae (B.t.i. c4Q2-72, 5.6 ± 3.6 × 102 c.f.u./ml; B. sphaericus 2362, 5.4 ± 2.5 × 102 c.f.u./ml) which were 100-fold and 10-fold more toxic to such larvae when compared with pBTC3 (P
cat-86 together with P
cryIVB
) and pBTC1 (contained only its self promoter) in the same bacterial host strains, respectively. The plasmid pBTC6 is not stable in either Bacillus host. 相似文献

Upstream interactions of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) in an open promoter complex (RPo) formed at the PR and PRM promoters of bacteriophage λ have been studied by atomic force microscopy. We demonstrate that the previously described 30-nm DNA compaction observed upon RPo formation at PR [Rivetti, C., Guthold, M. & Bustamante, C. (1999). Wrapping of DNA around the E. coli RNA polymerase open promoter complex. EMBO J., 18, 4464-4475.] is a consequence of the specific interaction of the RNAP with two AT-rich sequence determinants positioned from − 36 to − 59 and from − 80 to − 100. Likewise, RPos formed at PRM showed a specific contact between RNAP and the upstream DNA sequence. We further demonstrate that this interaction, which results in DNA wrapping against the polymerase surface, is mediated by the C-terminal domains of α-subunits (carboxy-terminal domain). Substitution of these AT-rich sequences with heterologous DNA reduces DNA wrapping but has only a small effect on the activity of the PR promoter. We find, however, that the frequency of DNA templates with both PR and PRM occupied by an RNAP significantly increases upon loss of DNA wrapping. These results suggest that α carboxy-terminal domain interactions with upstream DNA can also play a role in regulating the expression of closely spaced promoters. Finally, a model for a possible mechanism of promoter interference between PR and PRM is proposed. 相似文献

Improved strains for the production of riboflavin (vitamin B2) were constructed through metabolic engineering using recombinant DNA techniques in Corynebacterium ammoniagenes. A C. ammoniagenes strain harboring a plasmid containing its riboflavin biosynthetic genes accumulated 17-fold as much riboflavin as the host
strain. In order to increase the expression of the biosynthetic genes, we isolated DNA fragments that had promoter activities
in C. ammoniagenes. When the DNA fragment (P54-6) showing the strongest promoter activity in minimum medium was introduced into the upstream
region of the riboflavin biosynthetic genes, the accumulation of riboflavin was 3-fold elevated. In that strain, the activity
of guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP) cyclohydrolase II, the first enzyme in riboflavin biosynthesis, was 2.4-fold elevated whereas
that of riboflavin synthase, the last enzyme in the biosynthesis, was 44.1-fold elevated. Changing the sequence containing
the putative ribosome-binding sequence of 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate synthase/GTP cyclohydrolase II gene led to
higher GTP cyclohydrolase II activity and strong enhancement of riboflavin production. Throughout the strain improvement,
the activity of GTP cyclohydrolase II correlated with the productivity of riboflavin. In the highest producer strain, riboflavin
was produced at the level of 15.3 g l−1 for 72 h in a 5-l jar fermentor without any end product inhibition.

The kinetics of the Ni(II)-catalyzed ester hydrolysis of O-acetyl-2-pyridine-carboxaldoxime, O-acetyl-2-acetylpyridineketoxime, and O-acetyl-6-carboxy-2-pyridine-carboxaldoxime are measured and the values of various kcat parameters are calculated for reaction paths involving one metal ion (kcatW and kcatOH) and two metal ions kcatA and kcatB). Examination of the kinetic data reveals that the kcatW and kcatOH paths for the Ni(II)-catalyzed reactions involve the same mechanism as those for the previously reported Cu(II)-catalyzed reactions. For the kcatA and kcatB paths, the mechanism involving binuclear Ni(II) ions is preferred by analogy with the previously reported Zn(II)-catalyzed reactions. Comparison of kcatOH values for the Cu(II)- and Ni(II)-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1–3 indicates that markedly different steric effects are exerted by the substituents of 2 and 3 on the catalytic behavior of the two metal ions. This is explained in terms of differences in the fit of the metal ions in the metal complexes of 1–3. Present results demonstrate that slight changes in the geometry around the central metal atom can affect the catalytic outcome significantly. The implications of the present results on metal substitution in metalloenzymes are also discussed. 相似文献

Summary Two non-homologous chloramphenicol (Cm) acetyltransferase (CAT) genes, designated catA and catB, were cloned from Clostridium butyricum type strains and characterized by restriction mapping. Both genes are efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. In contrast to analogous genes from staphylococci and bacilli, gene expression is not dependent on induction by Cm. The genes are considered as chromosomal, since no association with endogenous plasmids was detectable. Southern hybridization revealed a homology between catA and the staphylococcal Cm resistance plasmid, pC194. The subunit size of the clostridial CAT enzymes expressed in E. coli was determined as 22.5 kDa (catA) and 24 kDa (catB), respectively. The C. butyricum cat genes provide potentially useful selection markers for the construction of cloning vectors from cryptic clostridial plasmids. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida KT2440-JD1 is able to cometabolize benzoate to cis, cis-muconate in the presence of glucose as growth substrate. P. putida KT2440-JD1 was unable to grow in the presence of concentrations above 50 mM benzoate or 600 mM cis, cis-muconate. The inhibitory effects of both compounds were cumulative. The maximum specific uptake rate of benzoate was higher than the specific production rate of cis, cis-muconate during growth on glucose in the presence of benzoate, indicating that a benzoate derivative accumulated in the cells, which is likely to be catechol. Catechol was shown to reduce the expression level of the ben operon, which encodes the conversion of benzoate to cis, cis-muconate. To prevent overdoses of benzoate, a pH-stat fed-batch process for the production of cis, cis-muconate from benzoate was developed, in which the addition of benzoate was coupled to the acidification of the medium. The maximum specific production rate during the pH-stat fed-batch process was 0.6 g (4.3 mmol) g dry cell weight(-1) h(-1), whereas 18.5 g L(-1) cis, cis-muconate accumulated in the culture medium with a molar product yield of close to 100%. Proteome analysis revealed that the outer membrane protein H1 was upregulated during the pH-stat fed-batch process, whereas the expression of 10 other proteins was reduced. The identified proteins are involved in energy household, transport, translation of RNA, and motility. 相似文献

In an effort to better understand the structure, metal content, the nature of the metal centers, and enzyme activity of Arabidopsis thaliana Glx2-2, the enzyme was overexpressed, purified, and characterized using metal analyses, kinetics, and UV–vis, EPR, and 1H NMR spectroscopies. Glx2-2-containing fractions that were purple, yellow, or colorless were separated during purification,
and the differently colored fractions were found to contain different amounts of Fe and Zn(II). Spectroscopic analyses of
the discrete fractions provided evidence for Fe(II), Fe(III), Fe(III)–Zn(II), and antiferromagnetically coupled Fe(II)–Fe(III)
centers distributed among the discrete Glx2-2-containing fractions. The individual steady-state kinetic constants varied among
the fractionated species, depending on the number and type of metal ion present. Intriguingly, however, the catalytic efficiency
constant, k
cat/K
m, was invariant among the fractions. The value of k
cat/K
m governs the catalytic rate at low, physiological substrate concentrations. We suggest that the independence of k
cat/K
m on the precise makeup of the active-site metal center is evolutionarily related to the lack of selectivity for either Fe
versus Zn(II) or Fe(II) versus Fe(III), in one or more metal binding sites. 相似文献

The chloramphenicol resistance gene (pp-cat) was cloned from a transferable R plasmid of Pasteurella piscicida, pSP9351, and the sequence of the gene was determined. Subcloning and deletion analysis localized the resistance gene, pp-cat, to within a 2.3 kb HincII-BamHI fragment. The fragment as a probe hybridized with the type I chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene and did not hybridize to CAT types II, III, and CAT-VA. The fragment hybridized to transferable R plasmids encoded with resistance to chloramphenicol, which were detected from P. piscicida isolated in different years. Nucleotide sequences of the coding and flanking regions of pp-cat (2031 bp) identified an open reading frame coding type I CAT of a molecular mass of about 25,000 Da. Comparison analysis of the sequences outside the cat open reading frame showed also that pp-cat has homology, in part, with the gene that coding for the endonuclease EcoRII and those that flank the cat gene derived from the Acinetobacter baumannii chromosome. 相似文献

Two extracellular tannin acyl hydrolases (TAH I and TAH II) produced by an Antarctic filamentous fungus Verticillium sp. P9 were purified to homogeneity (7.9- and 10.5-fold with a yield of 1.6 and 0.9%, respectively) and characterized. TAH
I and TAH II are multimeric (each consisting of approximately 40 and 46 kDa sub-units) glycoproteins containing 11 and 26%
carbohydrates, respectively, and their molecular mass is approximately 155 kDa. TAH I and TAH II are optimally active at pH
of 5.5 and 25 and 20°C, respectively. Both the enzymes were activated by Mg2+and Br− ions and 0.5–2.0 M urea and inhibited by other metal ions (Zn2+, Cu2+, K+, Cd2+, Ag+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Co2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and Sn2+), anions, Tween 20, Tween 60, Tween 80, Triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulphate, β-mercaptoethanol, α-glutathione and 4-chloromercuribenzoate.
