Cells of the gram-negative bacterium Ralstonia sp. strain SBUG 290 grown in the presence of biphenyl are able to cooxidize dibenzofuran which has been 1,2-hydroxylated. Meta cleavage of the 1, 2-dihydroxydibenzofuran between carbon atoms 1 and 9b produced 2-hydroxy-4-(3'-oxo-3'H-benzofuran-2'-yliden)but-2-enoic acid, which was degraded completely via salicylic acid. The presence of these intermediates indicates a degradation mechanism for dibenzofuran via lateral dioxygenation by Ralstonia sp. strain SBUG 290. 相似文献

The genes of two 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases (BphC1 and BphC2) were obtained from the gene library of Rhodococcus sp. R04. The enzymes have been purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extracts of the recombinant harboring bphC1 and bphC2. Both BphC1 and BphC2 were hexamers, consisting of six subunits of 35 and 33kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, respectively. The enzymes had similar optimal pH (pH 9.0), but different temperatures for their maximum activity (30 degrees C for BphC1, 80 degrees C for BphC2). In addition, they exhibited distinct stability at various temperatures. The enzymes could cleave a wide range of catechols, with 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl being the optimum substrate for BphC1 and BphC2. BphC1 was inhibited by 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl, catechol and 3-chlorocatechol, whereas BphC2 showed strong substrate inhibition for all the given substrates. BphC2 exhibited a half-life of 15min at 80 degrees C and 50min at 70 degrees C, making it the most thermostable extradiol dioxygenase studied in mesophilic bacteria. After disruption of bphC1 and bphC2 genes, R04DeltaC1 (bphC1 mutant) delayed the time of their completely eliminating biphenyl another 15h compared with its parent strain R04, but R04DeltaC2 (bphC2 mutant) lost the ability to grow on biphenyl, suggesting that BphC1 plays an assistant role in the degrading of biphenyl by strain R04, while BphC2 is essential for the growth of strain R04 on biphenyl. 相似文献

Rhodococcus globerulus P6 (previously designated Acinetobacter sp. strain P6, Arthrobacter sp. strain M5, and Corynebacterium sp. strain MB1) is able to degrade a wide range of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners. The genetic and biochemical analyses of the PCB catabolic pathway reported here have revealed the existence of a PCB gene cluster--bphBC1D--and two further bphC genes--bphC2 and bphC3--that encode three narrow-substrate-specificity enzymes (2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenases) that meta cleave the first aromatic ring. None of the bphC genes show by hybridization homology to each other or to bphC genes in other bacteria, and the three bphC gene products have different kinetic parameters and sensitivities to inactivation by 3-chlorocatechol. This suggests that there exists a wide diversity in PCB meta cleavage enzymes. 相似文献

Characterization and functional analysis of a novel gene cluster involved in biphenyl degradation in Rhodococcus sp. strain R04 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AIMS: Isolation of the genes relative to PCB biodegradation and identification of the bph gene function in Rhodococcus sp. R04. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 8.7-kb fragment carrying the biphenyl catabolic genes bphABCD was isolated from the gene library in Rhodococcus sp. R04. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence homology, seven bph genes, bphA1A2A3A4, bphB, bphC and bphD, were thought to be responsible for the initial four steps of biphenyl degradation. In Escherichia coli, BphA exhibited poor activity for biphenyl transformation, and BphB, BphC and BphD were found to be catalytically active towards 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl, 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl and 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate, respectively (activities of 50, 8.1 and 2.4 micromol l(-1) min(-1) mg(-1)). SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the sizes of bphA1A2A3A4, bphB, bphC and bphD gene products were 49, 19, 14, 47, 32, 30 and 31 kDa, respectively. After disruption of bph genes, the bphA1 mutants lost the ability to grow on biphenyl, the bphB and bphD mutants were able to transform a little of biphenyl, but hardly grew on biphenyl. CONCLUSION: The cloned bph genes indeed play an important role in the biphenyl catabolism in this strain. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This bph gene organization in Rhodococcus sp. R04 differs from that of other biphenyl degraders reported previously, indicating it is a novel type of bph gene cluster. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree suggested that BphA1 and BphA2 in Rhodococcus sp. R04 had a different evolutionary relationship with those in the other PCB degraders. 相似文献

Thirty-five strains of soil bacteria were grown with biphenyl (BP) and tested for their capacity to cooxidize dibenzofuran (DBF). During metabolism of DBF, the culture medium of 17 strains changed from colorless to orange, indicating a meta-cleavage pathway of DBF degradation. The ring cleavage product of these isolates was shown to be 2-hydroxy-4-(3'-oxo-3' H-benzofuran-2'-yliden)but-2-enoic acid (HOBB). The strain SBUG 271, studied in detail and identified as Rhodococcus erythropolis, degraded DBF via 1,2-dihydroxydibenzofuran. The ensuing meta-cleavage yielded HOBB and salicylic acid. In addition, the four monohydroxylated monomers of DBF and two metabolites, which were not further characterized, were detected. Thus, our results demonstrate that the metabolic mechanism involves lateral dioxygenation of DBF followed by meta-cleavage and occurs in Gram-negative as well as in Gram-positive BP-degrading bacteria. 相似文献

Rhodococcus globerulus strain P6 contains at least three genes, bphC1, bphC2, and bphC3, coding for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases; the latter two specify enzymes of the family of one-domain extradiol dioxygenases. In order to assess the importance of these different isoenzymes for the broad catabolic activity of this organism towards the degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the capacities of recombinant enzymes expressed in Escherichia coli to transform different chlorosubstituted dihydroxybiphenyls formed by the action of R. globerulus P6 biphenyl dioxygenase and biphenyl 2,3-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase were determined. Whereas both BphC2 and BphC3 showed similar activities for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl and all monochlorinated 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyls, BphC1 exhibited only weak activity for 2'-chloro-2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl. More highly chlorinated 2'-chlorosubstituted 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyls were also transformed at high rates by BphC2 and BphC3 but not BphC1. In R. globerulus P6, BphC2 was constitutively expressed, BphC1 expression was induced during growth on biphenyl, and BphC3 was not expressed at significant levels under the experimental conditions. Although we cannot rule out the expression of BphC3 under certain environmental conditions, it seems that the contrasting substrate specificities of BphC1 and BphC2 contribute significantly to the versatile PCB-degrading phenotype of R. globerulus P6. 相似文献

Rhodococcus rhodochrous K37, a Gram-positive bacterium grown under alkaline conditions, was isolated for its ability to metabolize PCBs. Analysis revealed that it has eight genes encoding extradiol dioxygenase, which has 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase activity, and these genes were designated bphC1 to bphC8. According to the classification of extradiol dioxygenases [Eltis, L. D., and Bolin, J. T., J. Bacteriol., 178, 5930-5937 (1996)], BphC3 and BphC6 belong to the type II enzyme group. The other six BphCs were classified as members of the type I extradiol dioxygenase group. BphC4 and BphC8 were classified into a new subfamily of type I, family 3. Two linear plasmids, 200 kb and 270 kb in size, were found in K37, and the bphC6 and bphC8 genes were located in the 200 kb linear plasmid. Northern hybridization analysis revealed that the bphC1, bphC2, and bphC7 genes were induced in the presence of testosterone, the bphC6 gene was induced by fluorene, and the bphC8 gene was induced by biphenyl. All eight BphC products exhibited much higher substrate activity for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl than for catechol, 3-methylcatechol, or 4-methylcatechol. 相似文献

Rhodococcus erythropolis TA421 was isolated from a termite ecosystem and is able to degrade a wide range of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners. Genetic and biochemical analyses of the PCB catabolic pathway of this organism revealed that there are four different bphC genes (bphC1, bphC2, bphC3, and bphC4) which encode 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenases. As determined by Southern hybridization, none of the bphC genes exhibits homology to any other bphC gene. bphC1, bphC2, and bphC4 encode enzymes that have narrow substrate specificities and cleave the first aromatic ring in the meta position. In contrast, bphC3 encodes a meta cleavage dioxygenase with broad substrate specificity. Asturias et al. have shown that the closely related organism Rhodococcus globerulus P6 contains three different bphC genes (bphC1, bphC2, and bpHC3) which encode meta cleavage dioxygenases. The data suggest that there is a diverse family of bphC genes which encode PCB meta cleavage dioxygenases in members of the genus Rhodococcus. 相似文献

Rhodococcus erythropolis TA421, a polychlorinated biphenyl and biphenyl degrader isolated from a termite ecosystem, has seven bphC genes expressing 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase activity. R. erythropolis TA421 harbored a large and probably linear plasmid on which three (bphC2, bphC3, and bphC4) of the seven bphC genes were located. A non-biphenyl-degrading mutant, designated strain TA422, was obtained spontaneously from R. erythropolis TA421. TA422 lacked the plasmid, suggesting that the three bphC genes were involved in the degradation of biphenyl. Southern blot analyses showed that R. erythropolis TA421 and Rhodococcus globerulus P6 have a similar set of bphC genes and that the genes for biphenyl catabolism are located on plasmids of different sizes. These results indicated that the genes encoding the biphenyl catabolic pathway in Rhodococcus strains are borne on plasmids. 相似文献

The attack by the bph-encoded biphenyl dioxygenase of Burkholderia sp. strain LB400 on a number of symmetrical ortho-substituted biphenyls or quasi ortho-substituted biphenyl analogues has been investigated. 2,2'-Difluoro-, 2,2'-dibromo-, 2,2'-dinitro-, and 2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl were accepted as substrates. Dioxygenation of all of these compounds showed a strong preference for the semisubstituted pair of vicinal ortho and meta carbons, leading to the formation of 2'-substituted 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyls by subsequent elimination of HX (X = F, Br, NO(2), or OH). All of these products were further metabolized by 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases of Burkholderia sp. strain LB400 or of Rhodococcus globerulus P6. Dibenzofuran and dibenzodioxin, which may be regarded as analogues of doubly ortho-substituted biphenyls or diphenylethers, respectively, were attacked at the "quasi ortho" carbon (the angular position 4a) and its neighbor. This shows that an aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase of class IIB is able to attack angular carbons. The catechols formed, 2,3,2'-trihydroxybiphenyl and 2,3,2'-trihydroxydiphenylether, were further metabolized by 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase. While angular attack by the biphenyl dioxygenase was the main route of dibenzodioxin oxidation, lateral dioxygenation leading to dihydrodiols was the major reaction with dibenzofuran. These results indicate that this enzyme is capable of hydroxylating ortho or angular carbons carrying a variety of substituents which exert electron-withdrawing inductive effects. They also support the view that the conversions of phenols into catechols by ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases, such as the transformation of 2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl into 2,3,2'-trihydroxybiphenyl, are the results of di- rather than of monooxygenations. Lateral dioxygenation of dibenzofuran and subsequent dehydrogenation and extradiol dioxygenation by a number of biphenyl-degrading strains yielded intensely colored dead-end products. Thus, dibenzofuran can be a useful chromogenic indicator for the activity of the first three enzymes of biphenyl catabolic pathways. 相似文献

Gram-positive Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1 possesses strong polychlorinated biphenyl-degrading capabilities. An RHA1 bphC gene mutant, strain RDC1, had been previously constructed (E. Masai, A. Yamada, J. M. Healy, T. Hatta, K. Kimbara, M. Fukuda, and K. Yano, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 61:2079-2085, 1995). An alternative 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (2,3-DHBD), designated EtbC, was identified in RDC1 cells grown on ethylbenzene. EtbC contained the broadest substrate specificity of any meta cleavage dioxygenase identified in a Rhodococcus strain to date, including RHA1 BphC. EtbC was purified to near homogeneity from RDC1 cells grown on ethylbenzene, and a 58-amino-acid NH2-terminal sequence was determined. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence was used for the identification of the etbC gene from an RDC1 chromosomal DNA 2,3-DHBD expression library. The etbC gene was successfully cloned, and we report here the determination of its nucleotide sequence. The substrate specificity patterns of cell extract and native nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis identified the coexpression of two 2,3-DHBDs (BphC and EtbC) in RHA1 cells grown on either biphenyl or ethylbenzene. The possible implication of coexpressed BphC extradiol dioxygenases in the strong polychlorinated-biphenyl degradation activity of RHA1 was suggested. 相似文献

Metabolism of naphthalene by the biphenyl-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas paucimobilis Q1 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Pseudomonas paucimobilis Q1 originally isolated as biphenyl degrading organism (Furukawa et al. 1983), was shown to grow with naphthalene. After growth with biphenyl or naphthalene the strain synthesized the same enzyme for the ring cleavage of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl or 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. The enzyme, although characterized as 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase (Taira et al. 1988), exhibited considerably higher relative activity with 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. These results demonstrate that this enzyme can function both in the naphthalene and biphenyl degradative pathway.Abbreviations DHBP

2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase, involved in biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyl degradation, was purified from cell extracts of polychlorinated biphenyl-degrading Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1161 carrying the cloned bphC gene (encoding 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase). The purified enzyme contained ferrous iron as a prosthetic group. The specific activities decreased with the loss of ferrous iron from the enzyme, and the activity was restored by incubation with ferrous iron in the presence of cysteine. Addition of ferric iron caused the complete inactivation of the enzyme. The molecular weight was estimated to be 250,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a single band with a molecular weight of 31,000, indicating that the enzyme consists of eight identical subunits. The enzyme was specific only for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl with a Km value of 87 microM. No significant activity was observed for 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl, catechol, or 3-methyl- and 4-methylcatechol. The molecular weight, subunit structure, ferrous iron requirement, and NH2-terminal sequence (starting with serine up to 12 residues) were the same between the two enzymes obtained from KF707 and PAO1161 (bphC). 相似文献

The dibenzofuran-degrading bacterial strain DPO360 represents a new species of the genus Terrabacter together with the previously described dibenzofuran-mineralizing bacterial strain DPO1361 (K.-H. Engesser, V. Strubel, K. Christoglou, P. Fischer, and H. G. Rast, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 65:205-210, 1989; V. Strubel, Ph.D. thesis, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany, 1991; V. Strubel, H. G. Rast, W. Fietz, H.-J. Knackmuss, and K.-H. Engesser, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 58:233-238, 1989). Two 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl-1,2-dioxygenases (BphC1 and BphC2) and one catechol-2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) were shown to be expressed in Terrabacter sp. strain DPO360 growing with dibenzofuran as a sole source of carbon and energy. These enzymes exhibited strong sensitivity to oxygen. They were purified to apparent homogeneity as homodimers (BphC and BphC2) and as a homotetrameric catechol-2,3-dioxygenase (C23O). According to their specificity constants kcat/Km, both BphC1 and BphC2 were shown to be responsible for the cleavage of 2,2',3-trihydroxybiphenyl, the first metabolite in dibenzofuran mineralization along the angular dioxygenation pathway. With this substrate, BphC2 exhibited a considerably higher kcat/Km, value (183 microM/min) than BphC1 (29 microM/min). Catechol-2,3-dioxygenase was recognized to be not involved in the ring cleavage of 2,2',3-trihydroxybiphenyl (kcat/Km, 1 microM/min). Analysis of deduced amino acid sequence data of bphC1 revealed 36% sequence identity to nahC from Pseudomonas putida PpG7 (S. Harayama and M. Rekik, J. Biol. Chem. 264:15328-15333, 1989) and about 40% sequence identity to various bphC genes from different Pseudomonas and Rhodococcus strains. In addition, another 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl-1,2-dioxygenase gene (bphC3) was cloned from the genome of Terrabacter sp. strain DPO360. Expression of this gene, however, could not be detected in Terrabacter sp. strain DPO360 after growth with dibenzofuran. 相似文献

The phenol-degrading yeast Trichosporon mucoides can oxidize and detoxify biarylic environmental pollutants such as dibenzofuran, diphenyl ether and biphenyl by ring cleavage. The degradation pathways are well investigated, but the enzymes involved are not. The high similarity of hydroxylated biphenyl derivatives and phenol raised the question if the enzymes of the phenol degradation are involved in ring cleavage or whether specific enzymes are necessary. Purification of enzymes from T. mucoides with catechol cleavage activity demonstrated the existence of three different enzymes: a classical catechol-1,2-dioxygenase (CDO), not able to cleave the aromatic ring system of 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl, and two novel enzymes with a high affinity towards 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl. The comparison of the biochemical characteristics and mass spectrometric sequence data of these three enzymes demonstrated that they have different substrate specificities. CDO catalyzes the ortho-cleavage of dihydroxylated monoaromatic compounds, while the two novel enzymes carry out a similar reaction on biphenyl derivatives. The ring fission of 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl by the purified enzymes results in the formation of (5-oxo-3-phenyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetic acid. These results suggest that the ring cleavage enzymes catalyzing phenol degradation are not involved in the ring cleavage of biarylic compounds by this yeast, although some intermediates of the phenol metabolism may function as inducers. 相似文献

2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase, which catalyzes ring metacleavage of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl, is encoded by the bphC gene of Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 (K. Furukawa and T. Miyazaki, J. Bacteriol. 166:392-398, 1986). We determined the nucleotide sequence of a DNA fragment of 2,040 base pairs which included the bphC gene. The fragment included one open reading frame of 912 base pairs to accommodate the enzyme. The predicted processed amino acid sequence of the enzyme subunit consisted of 302 residues, and its 12 NH2-terminal residues were in perfect agreement with those determined for the enzyme. Approximately 10 base pairs upstream from the initiation codon for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase, there was a base sequence complementary to the 3' end of the 16S rRNA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was no promoterlike sequence in the region upstream of the bphC gene, but another long open reading frame was present. A putative bphD gene encoding a metacleavage compound-hydrolyzing enzyme was suggested in the region downstream of the bphC gene. 相似文献

A bphC gene (915 bp) encoding 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (BphC) was amplified by PCR from Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4, which was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli . The purified His-Tag BphC was able to catalyze the meta -cleavage reaction of the dihydroxylated aromatic rings. According to the specificity constant ( K cat / K m ) of BphC_LA-4, the specificity of BphC_LA-4 was determined in the following order: 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl>3-methylcatechol>catechol>4-chlorocatechol>4-methylcatechol. The experimental data were consistent with the prediction of enzyme–substrate complexes. The highest specific activity of BphC_LA-4 was 118.3 U mg−1 for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl. 相似文献
