The crystal structure of the hydroxymandelate synthase (HMS).Co2+.hydroxymandelate (HMA) complex determined to a resolution of 2.3 A reveals an overall fold that consists of two similar beta-barrel domains, one of which contains the characteristic His/His/acid metal-coordination motif (facial triad) found in the majority of Fe2+-dependent oxygenases. The fold of the alpha-carbon backbone closely resembles that of the evolutionarily related enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) in its closed conformation with a root-mean-square deviation of 1.85 A. HPPD uses the same substrates as HMS but forms instead homogentisate (HG). The active site of HMS is significantly smaller than that observed in HPPD, reflecting the relative changes in shape that occur in the conversion of the common HPP substrate to the respective HMA or HG products. The HMA benzylic hydroxyl and carboxylate oxygens coordinate to the Co2+ ion, and three other potential H-bonding interactions to active site residue side chains are observed. Additionally, it is noted that there is a buried well-ordered water molecule 3.2 A from the distal carboxylate oxygen. The p-hydroxyl group of HMA is within hydrogen-bonding distance of the side chain hydroxyl of a serine residue (Ser201) that is conserved in both HMS and HPPD. This potential hydrogen bond and the known geometry of iron ligation for the substrate allowed us to model 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) in the active sites of both HMS and HPPD. These models suggest that the position of the HPP substrate differs between the two enzymes. In HMS, HPP binds analogously to HMA, while in HPPD, the p-hydroxyl group of HPP acts as a hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor to Ser201 and Asn216, respectively. It is suggested that this difference in the ring orientation of the substrate and the corresponding intermediates influences the site of hydroxylation. 相似文献

The left ends of the biosynthetic gene clusters of novobiocin ( nov), clorobiocin ( clo) and coumermycin A(1) ( cou) from Streptomyces spheroides (syn. S. caeruleus) NCIMB 11891, S. roseochromogenes var. oscitans DS 12.976 and S. rishiriensis DSM 40489 were cloned and sequenced. Sequence comparison suggested that novE, cloE and couE, respectively, represent the borders of these three clusters. Inactivation of novE proved that novE does not have an essential catalytic role in novobiocin biosynthesis, but is likely to have a regulatory function. The gene products of novF and cloF show sequence similarity to prephenate dehydrogenase and may produce 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (4HPP) as a precursor of the substituted benzoate moiety of novobiocin and clorobiocin. Coumermycin A(1) does not contain this benzoate moiety, and correspondingly the coumermycin cluster was found not to contain a functional novF homologue. The coumermycin biosynthetic gene cluster apparently evolved from an ancestral cluster similar to those of novobiocin and clorobiocin, and parts of the ancestral novF homologue have been deleted in this process. No homologue to novC was identified in the gene clusters of clorobiocin and coumermycin, questioning the postulated involvement of novC in aminocoumarin biosynthesis. Heterologous expression of novDEFGHIJK in Streptomyces lividans resulted in the formation of 2,4-dihydroxy-alpha-oxy-phenylacetic acid, suggesting that at least one of the proteins encoded by these genes may participate in a hydroxylation reaction. 相似文献

Background
Heme and non-heme iron from diet, and recycled iron from hemoglobin are important products of the synthesis of iron-containing molecules. In excess, iron is potentially toxic because it can produce reactive oxygen species through the Fenton reaction. Humans can absorb, transport, store, and recycle iron without an excretory system to remove excess iron. Two candidate heme transporters and two iron transporters have been reported thus far. Heme incorporated into cells is degraded by heme oxygenases (HOs), and the iron product is reutilized by the body. To specify the processes of heme uptake and degradation, and the reutilization of iron, we determined the subcellular localizations of these transporters and HOs. 相似文献4.

Hydroxylation of the benzoic ring by non-heme iron oxygenases having a Rieske-type cluster is the key step in the aerobic degradation of chloroaromatic compounds by bacteria. Rieske oxygenases (RO) catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation reaction unique to the enzymes of this family with the formation of corresponding phenolic compounds. This review discusses the general structure, function, and classification of ROs that catalyze the oxidation of chlorophenoxyacetic acids; genes encoding the ROs with their phylogenetic classes are also reviewed. 相似文献

Dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) O-demethylase (DMO) is the terminal Rieske oxygenase of a three-component system that includes a ferredoxin and a reductase. It catalyzes the NADH-dependent oxidative demethylation of the broad leaf herbicide dicamba. DMO represents the first crystal structure of a Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase that performs an exocyclic monooxygenation, incorporating O2 into a side-chain moiety and not a ring system. The structure reveals a 3-fold symmetric trimer (α3) in the crystallographic asymmetric unit with similar arrangement of neighboring inter-subunit Rieske domain and non-heme iron site enabling electron transport consistent with other structurally characterized Rieske oxygenases. While the Rieske domain is similar, differences are observed in the catalytic domain, which is smaller in sequence length than those described previously, yet possessing an active-site cavity of larger volume when compared to oxygenases with larger substrates. Consistent with the amphipathic substrate, the active site is designed to interact with both the carboxylate and aromatic ring with both key polar and hydrophobic interactions observed. DMO structures were solved with and without substrate (dicamba), product (3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid), and either cobalt or iron in the non-heme iron site. The substitution of cobalt for iron revealed an uncommon mode of non-heme iron binding trapped by the non-catalytic Co2+, which, we postulate, may be transiently present in the native enzyme during the catalytic cycle. Thus, we present four DMO structures with resolutions ranging from 1.95 to 2.2 Å, which, in sum, provide a snapshot of a dynamic enzyme where metal binding and substrate binding are coupled to observed structural changes in the non-heme iron and catalytic sites. 相似文献

(S)-2-Hydroxylpropanylphosphonic acid epoxidase (HppE) is a novel type of mononuclear non-heme iron-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the O2 coupled, oxidative epoxide ring closure of HPP to form fosfomycin, which is a clinically useful antibiotic. Sequence alignment of the only two known HppE sequences led to the speculation that the conserved residues His138, Glu142, and His180 are the metal binding ligands of the Streptomyces wedmorensis enzyme. Substitution of these residues with alanine resulted in significant reduction of metal binding affinity, as indicated by EPR analysis of the enzyme-Fe(II)-substrate-nitrosyl complex and the spectral properties of the Cu(II)-reconstituted mutant proteins. The catalytic activities for both epoxidation and self-hydroxylation were also either eliminated or diminished in proportion to the iron content in these mutants. The complete loss of enzymatic activity for the E142A and H180A mutants in vivo and in vitro is consistent with the postulated roles of the altered residues in metal binding. The H138A mutant is also inactive in vivo, but in vitro it retains 27% of the active site iron and nearly 20% of the wild-type activity. Thus, it cannot be unequivocally stated whether H138 is an iron ligand or simply facilitates iron binding due to proximity. The results reported herein provide initial evidence implicating an unusual histidine/carboxylate iron ligation in HppE. By analogy with other well-characterized enzymes from the 2-His-1-carboxylate family, this type of iron core is consistent with a mechanism in which both oxygen and HPP bind to the iron as a first step in the in the conversion of HPP to fosfomycin. 相似文献

(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) catalyzes the second step in the pathway for the catabolism of tyrosine, the conversion of (4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate (HPP) to homogentisate (HG). This reaction involves decarboxylation, substituent migration, and aromatic oxygenation. HPPD is a member of the alpha-keto acid dependent oxygenases that require Fe(II) and an alpha-keto acid substrate to oxygenate an organic molecule. We have examined the binding of ligands to HPPD from Streptomyces avermitilis. Our data show that HPP binds to the apoenzyme and that the apo-HPPD.HPP complex does not bind Fe(II) to generate active holoenzyme. The binding of HPP, phenylpyruvate (PPA), and pyruvate to the holoenzyme produces a weak ligand charge-transfer band at approximately 500 nm that is indicative of bidentate binding of the 1-carboxylate and 2-keto pyruvate oxygen atoms to the active site metal ion. For HPPD from this organism the 4-hydroxyl group of (4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate is a requirement for catalysis; no turnover is observed in the presence of phenylpyruvate. The rate constant for the dissociation of Fe(II) from the holoenzyme is 0.0006 s(-)(1) and indicates that this phenomenon is not significantly relevant in steady-state turnover. The addition of HPP and molecular oxygen to the holoenzyme is formally random. The basis of the ordered bi bi steady-state kinetic mechanism previously observed by Rundgren (Rundgren, M. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 5094-9) is the 3600-fold increase in oxygen reactivity when holo-HPPD is in complex with HPP. This complex reacts with molecular oxygen with a second-order rate constant of 1.4 x 10(5) M(-)(1) s(-)(1) inducing the formation of an intermediate that decays at the catalytically relevant rate of 7.8 s(-)(1). 相似文献

The three-component naphthalene dioxygenase enzyme system catalyzes the first step in the degradation of naphthalene by Pseudomonas sp. strain NCIB 9816-4. A member of a large family of bacterial Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases, naphthalene dioxygenase
is known to oxidize over 60 different aromatic compounds, and many of the products are enantiomerically pure. The crystal
structure of the oxygenase component revealed the enzyme to be an α3β3 hexamer and identified the amino acids located near the active site. Site-directed mutagenesis studies have identified the
residues involved in electron transfer and those responsible for controlling the regioselectivity and enantioselectivity of
the enzyme. The results of these studies suggest that naphthalene dioxygenase can be engineered to catalyze a new and extended
range of useful reactions. 相似文献

The last step of the biosynthesis of fosfomycin, a clinically useful antibiotic, is the conversion of (S)-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid (HPP) to fosfomycin. Since the ring oxygen in fosfomycin has been shown in earlier feeding experiments to be derived from the hydroxyl group of HPP, this oxirane formation reaction is effectively a dehydrogenation process. To study this unique C-O bond formation step, we have overexpressed and purified the desired HPP epoxidase. Results reported herein provided initial biochemical evidence revealing that HPP epoxidase is an iron-dependent enzyme and that both NAD(P)H and a flavin or flavoprotein reductase are required for its activity. The 2 K EPR spectrum of oxidized iron-reconstituted fosfomycin epoxidase reveals resonances typical of S = (5)/(2) Fe(III) centers in at least two environments. Addition of HPP causes a redistribution with the appearance of at least two additional species, showing that the iron environment is perturbed. Exposure of this sample to NO elicits no changes, showing that the iron is nearly all in the Fe(III) state. However, addition of NO to the Fe(II) reconstituted enzyme that has not been exposed to O(2) yields an intense EPR spectrum typical of an S = (3)/(2) Fe(II)-NO complex. This complex is also heterogeneous, but addition of substrate converts it to a single, homogeneous S = (3)/(2) species with a new EPR spectrum, suggesting that substrate binds to or near the iron, thereby organizing the center. The fact that NO binds to the ferrous center suggests O(2) can also bind at this site as part of the catalytic cycle. Using purified epoxidase and (18)O isotopic labeled HPP, the retention of the hydroxyl oxygen of HPP in fosfomycin was demonstrated. While ether ring formation as a result of dehydrogenation of a secondary alcohol has precedence in the literature, these catalyses require alpha-ketoglutarate for activity. In contrast, HPP epoxidase is alpha-ketoglutarate independent. Thus, the cyclization of HPP to fosfomycin clearly represents an intriguing conversion beyond the scope entailed by common biological epoxidation and C-O bond formation. 相似文献

Clavaminate synthase (CAS), a remarkable Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate oxygenase, catalyzes three separate oxidative reactions in the biosynthesis of clavulanic acid, a clinically used inhibitor of serine beta-lactamases. The first CAS-catalyzed step (hydroxylation) is separated from the latter two (oxidative cyclization/desaturation) by the action of an amidinohydrolase. Here, we describe crystal structures of CAS in complex with Fe(II), 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and substrates (N-alpha-acetyl-L-arginine and proclavaminic acid). They reveal how CAS catalyzes formation of the clavam nucleus, via a process unprecedented in synthetic organic chemistry, and suggest how it discriminates between substrates and controls reaction of its highly reactive ferryl intermediate. The presence of an unpredicted jelly roll beta-barrel core in CAS implies divergent evolution within the family of 2OG and related oxygenases. Comparison with other non-heme oxidases/oxygenases reveals flexibility in the position which dioxygen ligates to the iron, in contrast to the analogous heme-using enzymes. 相似文献

Enzymes containing heme, non-heme iron and copper active sites play important roles in the activation of dioxygen for substrate oxidation. One key reaction step is CH bond cleavage through H-atom abstraction. On the basis of the ligand environment and the redox properties of the metal, these enzymes employ different methods of dioxygen activation. Heme enzymes are able to stabilize the very reactive iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin-radical intermediate. This is generally not accessible for non-heme iron systems, which can instead use low-spin ferric-hydroperoxo and iron(IV)-oxo species as reactive oxidants. Copper enzymes employ still a different strategy and achieve H-atom abstraction potentially through a superoxo intermediate. This review compares and contrasts the electronic structures and reactivities of these various oxygen intermediates. 相似文献

Background
The initial step involved in oxidative hydroxylation of monoaromatic and polyaromatic compounds by the microorganism Sphingobium yanoikuyae strain B1 (B1), previously known as Sphingomonas yanoikuyae strain B1 and Beijerinckia sp. strain B1, is performed by a set of multiple terminal Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases. These enzymes share a single electron donor system consisting of a reductase and a ferredoxin (BPDO-FB1). One of the terminal Rieske oxygenases, biphenyl 2,3-dioxygenase (BPDO-OB1), is responsible for B1's ability to dihydroxylate large aromatic compounds, such as chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene. 相似文献13.

Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases (RO) catalyze stereo- and regiospecific reactions. Recently, an explosion of structural information on this class of enzymes has occurred in the literature. ROs are two/three component systems: a reductase component that obtains electrons from NAD(P)H, often a Rieske ferredoxin component that shuttles the electrons and an oxygenase component that performs catalysis. The oxygenase component structures have all shown to be of the alpha3 or alpha3beta3 types. The transfer of electrons happens from the Rieske center to the mononuclear iron of the neighboring subunit via a conserved aspartate, which is shown to be involved in gating electron transport. Molecular oxygen has been shown to bind side-on in naphthalene dioxygenase and a concerted mechanism of oxygen activation and hydroxylation of the ring has been proposed. The orientation of binding of the substrate to the enzyme is hypothesized to control the substrate selectivity and regio-specificity of product formation. 相似文献

The mechanism of the nitric oxide reduction in a bacterial nitric oxide reductase (NOR) has been investigated in two model systems of the heme-b(3)-Fe(B) active site using density functional theory (B3LYP). A model with an octahedral coordination of the non-heme Fe(B) consisting of three histidines, one glutamate and one water molecule gave an energetically feasible reaction mechanism. A tetrahedral coordination of the non-heme iron, corresponding to the one of Cu(B) in cytochrome oxidase, gave several very high barriers which makes this type of coordination unlikely. The first nitric oxide coordinates to heme b(3) and is partly reduced to a more nitroxyl anion character, which activates it toward an attack from the second NO. The product in this reaction step is a hyponitrite dianion coordinating in between the two irons. Cleaving an NO bond in this intermediate forms an Fe(B) (IV)O and nitrous oxide, and this is the rate determining step in the reaction mechanism. In the model with an octahedral coordination of Fe(B) the intrinsic barrier of this step is 16.3 kcal/mol, which is in good agreement with the experimental value of 15.9 kcal/mol. However, the total barrier is 21.3 kcal/mol, mainly due to the endergonic reduction of heme b(3) taken from experimental reduction potentials. After nitrous oxide has left the active site the ferrylic Fe(B) will form a mu-oxo bridge to heme b(3) in a reaction step exergonic by 45.3 kcal/mol. The formation of a quite stable mu-oxo bridge between heme b(3) and Fe(B) is in agreement with this intermediate being the experimentally observed resting state in oxidized NOR. The formation of a ferrylic non-heme Fe(B) in the proposed reaction mechanism could be one reason for having an iron as the non-heme metal ion in NOR instead of a Cu as in cytochrome oxidase. 相似文献

The final step in the biosynthesis of fosfomycin in Streptomyces wedmorensis is catalyzed by ( S)-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid (HPP) epoxidase ( Sw-HppE). A homologous enzyme from Pseudomonas syringae whose encoding gene ( orf3) shares a relatively low degree of sequence homology with the corresponding Sw-HppE gene has recently been isolated. This purified P. syringae protein was determined to catalyze the epoxidation of ( S)-HPP to fosfomycin and the oxidation of ( R)-HPP to 2-oxopropylphosphonic acid under the same conditions as Sw-HppE. Therefore, this protein is indeed a true HPP epoxidase and is termed Ps-HppE. Like Sw-HppE, Ps-HppE was determined to be post-translationally modified by the hydroxylation of a putative active site tyrosine (Tyr95). Analysis of the Fe(II) center by EPR spectroscopy using NO as a spin probe and molecular oxygen surrogate reveals that Ps-HppE's metal center is similar, but not identical, to that of Sw-HppE. The identity of the rate-determining step for the ( S)-HPP and ( R)-HPP reactions was determined by measuring primary deuterium kinetic effects, and the outcome of these results was correlated with density functional theory calculations. Interestingly, the reaction using the nonphysiological substrate ( R)-HPP was 1.9 times faster than that with ( S)-HPP for both Ps-HppE and Sw-HppE. This is likely due to the difference in bond dissociation energy of the abstracted hydrogen atom for each respective reaction. Thus, despite the low level of amino acid sequence identity, Ps-HppE is a close mimic of Sw-HppE, representing a second example of a non-heme iron-dependent enzyme capable of catalyzing dehydrogenation of a secondary alcohol to form a new C-O bond. 相似文献

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) is a tetrahydrobiopterin and non-heme iron-dependent enzyme that hydroxylates L-Phe to l-Tyr using molecular oxygen as additional substrate. A dysfunction of this enzyme leads to phenylketonuria (PKU). The conformation and distances to the catalytic iron of both L-Phe and the cofactor analogue L-erythro-7,8-dihydrobiopterin (BH2) simultaneously bound to recombinant human PAH have been estimated by (1)H NMR. The resulting bound conformers of both ligands have been fitted into the crystal structure of the catalytic domain by molecular docking. In the docked structure L-Phe binds to the enzyme through interactions with Arg270, Ser349 and Trp326. The mode of coordination of Glu330 to the iron moiety seems to determine the amino acid substrate specificity in PAH and in the homologous enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. The pterin ring of BH2 pi-stacks with Phe254, and the N3 and the amine group at C2 hydrogen bond with the carboxylic group of Glu286. The ring also establishes specific contacts with His264 and Leu249. The distance between the O4 atom of BH2 and the iron (2.6(+/-0.3) A) is compatible with coordination, a finding that is important for the understanding of the mechanism of the enzyme. The hydroxyl groups in the side-chain at C6 hydrogen bond with the carbonyl group of Ala322 and the hydroxyl group of Ser251, an interaction that seems to have implications for the regulation of the enzyme by substrate and cofactor. Some frequent mutations causing PKU are located at residues involved in substrate and cofactor binding. The sites for hydroxylation, C4 in L-Phe and C4a in the pterin are located at a distance of 4.2 and 4.3 A from the iron moiety, respectively, and at 6.3 A from each other. These distances are adequate for the intercalation of iron-coordinated molecular oxygen, in agreement with a mechanistic role of the iron moiety both in the binding and activation of dioxygen and in the hydroxylation reaction. 相似文献

The alpha-ketoglutate (alpha-KG)-dependent dioxygenases are a large class of mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes that require Fe(II), alpha-KG and dioxygen for catalysis, with the alpha-KG cosubstrate supplying the two additional electrons required for dioxygen activation. A sub-class of these enzymes exists in which the alpha-keto acid is covalently attached to the substrate, including (4-hydroxy)mandelate synthase (HmaS) and (4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) which utilize the same substrate but exhibit two different general reactivities (H-atom abstraction and electrophilic attack). Previous kinetic studies of Streptomyces avermitilis HPPD have shown that the substrate analog phenylpyruvate (PPA), which only differs from the normal substrate (4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate (HPP) by the absence of a para-hydroxyl group on the aromatic ring, does not induce a reaction with dioxygen. While an Fe(IV)O intermediate is proposed to be the reactive species in converting substrate to product, the key step utilizing O(2) to generate this species is the decarboxylation of the alpha-keto acid. It has been generally proposed that the two requirements for decarboxylation are bidentate coordination of the alpha-keto acid to Fe(II) and the presence of a 5C Fe(II) site for the O(2) reaction. Circular dichroism and magnetic circular dichroism studies have been performed and indicate that both enzyme complexes with PPA are similar with bidentate alpha-KG coordination and a 5C Fe(II) site. However, kinetic studies indicate that while HmaS reacts with PPA in a coupled reaction similar to the reaction with HPP, HPPD reacts with PPA in an uncoupled reaction at an approximately 10(5)-fold decreased rate compared to the reaction with HPP. A key difference is spectroscopically observed in the n-->pi( *) transition of the HPPD/Fe(II)/PPA complex which, based upon correlation to density functional theory calculations, is suggested to result from H-bonding between a nearby residue and the carboxylate group of the alpha-keto acid. Such an interaction would disfavor the decarboxylation reaction by stabilizing electron density on the carboxylate group such that the oxidative cleavage to yield CO(2) is disfavored. 相似文献

Taurine/alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) dioxygenase (TauD), an archetype alphaKG-dependent hydroxylase, is a non-heme mononuclear Fe(II) enzyme that couples the oxidative decarboxylation of alphaKG with the conversion of taurine to aminoacetaldehyde and sulfite. The crystal structure of taurine-alphaKG-Fe(II)TauD is known, and spectroscopic studies have kinetically defined the early steps in catalysis and identified a high-spin Fe(IV)-oxo reaction intermediate. The present analysis extends our understanding of TauD catalysis by investigating the steady-state and transient kinetics of wild-type and variant forms of the enzyme with taurine and alternative sulfonates. TauD proteins substituted at residues surrounding the active site were shown to fold properly based on their abilities to form a diagnostic chromophore associated with the anaerobic Fe(II)-alphaKG chelate complex and to generate a tyrosyl radical upon subsequent reaction with oxygen. Steady-state studies of mutant proteins confirmed the importance of His 70 and Arg 270 in binding the sulfonate moiety of taurine and indicated the participation of Asn 95 in recognizing the substrate amine group. The N97A and S158A variants are likely to undergo an increase in hydrophobicity and expansion of the substrate-binding pocket, thus accounting for their decreased K(m) toward pentanesulfonic acid compared to wild-type TauD. Stopped-flow UV-visible spectroscopic examination of the reaction of oxygen with taurine-alphaKG-Fe(II)TauD confirmed a minimal three-step sequence of reactions attributed to Fe(IV)-oxo formation (k(1)), bleaching to the Fe(II) state upon substrate hydroxylation (k(2)), rebinding of excess substrates (k(3)), and indicated that none of the steps exhibit detectable solvent k(H)/k(D) isotope effects. This demonstrates that no protons are involved in the rate-determining step of Fe(IV)-oxo formation, in contrast to heme iron oxygenases. The Fe(IV)-oxo species is likely to be utilized in conversion of the alternative substrates pentanesulfonic acid and 3-N-morpholinopropanesulfonic acid; however, this spectroscopic intermediate was not detected because of the decreased k(1)/k(2) ratio. With taurine, k(1) was shown to depend on the oxygen concentration allowing calculation of a second-order rate constant of 1.58 x 10(5) M(-)(1) s(-)(1) for this irreversible reaction. Stopped-flow analyses of TauD variants provided several insights into how the protein environment influences the rates of Fe(IV)-oxo formation and decay. The Fe(IV)-oxo species was not detected in the N95D or N95A variants because of a reduced k(1)/k(2) ratio, likely related to a decreased substrate-dependent conversion of the six-coordinate to five-coordinate metal site. 相似文献

Dicamba O-demethylase is a multicomponent enzyme from Pseudomonas maltophilia, strain DI-6, that catalyzes the conversion of the widely used herbicide dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) to DCSA (3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid). We recently described the biochemical characteristics of the three components of this enzyme (i.e. reductase(DIC), ferredoxin(DIC), and oxygenase(DIC)) and classified the oxygenase component of dicamba O-demethylase as a member of the Rieske non-heme iron family of oxygenases. In the current study, we used N-terminal and internal amino acid sequence information from the purified proteins to clone the genes that encode dicamba O-demethylase. Two reductase genes (ddmA1 and ddmA2) with predicted amino acid sequences of 408 and 409 residues were identified. The open reading frames encode 43.7- and 43.9-kDa proteins that are 99.3% identical to each other and homologous to members of the FAD-dependent pyridine nucleotide reductase family. The ferredoxin coding sequence (ddmB) specifies an 11.4-kDa protein composed of 105 residues with similarity to the adrenodoxin family of [2Fe-2S] bacterial ferredoxins. The oxygenase gene (ddmC) encodes a 37.3-kDa protein composed of 339 amino acids that is homologous to members of the Phthalate family of Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases that function as monooxygenases. Southern analysis localized the oxygenase gene to a megaplasmid in cells of P. maltophilia. Mixtures of the three highly purified recombinant dicamba O-demethylase components overexpressed in Escherichia coli converted dicamba to DCSA with an efficiency similar to that of the native enzyme, suggesting that all of the components required for optimal enzymatic activity have been identified. Computer modeling suggests that oxygenase(DIC) has strong similarities with the core alphasubunits of naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase. Nonetheless, the present studies point to dicamba O-demethylase as an enzyme system with its own unique combination of characteristics. 相似文献
