Comamonas sp. strain JS765 can grow with nitrobenzene as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. We report here the sequence of the genes encoding nitrobenzene dioxygenase (NBDO), which catalyzes the first step in the degradation of nitrobenzene by strain JS765. The components of NBDO were designated Reductase(NBZ), Ferredoxin(NBZ), Oxygenase(NBZalpha), and Oxygenase(NBZbeta), with the gene designations nbzAa, nbzAb, nbzAc, and nbzAd, respectively. Sequence analysis showed that the components of NBDO have a high level of homology with the naphthalene family of Rieske nonheme iron oxygenases, in particular, 2-nitrotoluene dioxygenase from Pseudomonas sp. strain JS42. The enzyme oxidizes a wide range of substrates, and relative reaction rates with partially purified Oxygenase(NBZ) revealed a preference for 3-nitrotoluene, which was shown to be a growth substrate for JS765. NBDO is the first member of the naphthalene family of Rieske nonheme iron oxygenases reported to oxidize all of the isomers of mono- and dinitrotoluenes with the concomitant release of nitrite. 相似文献

Acidovorax (formerly Pseudomonas) sp. strain JS42 utilizes 2-nitrotoluene as sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. 2-Nitrotoluene 2,3-dioxygenase (2NTDO)
catalyzes the initial step in 2-nitrotoluene degradation by converting 2-nitrotoluene to 3-methylcatechol. In this study,
we identified specific amino acids at the active site that control specificity. The residue at position 350 was found to be
critical in determining both the enantiospecificity of 2NTDO with naphthalene and the ability to oxidize the ring of mononitrotoluenes.
Substitution of Ile350 by phenylalanine resulted in an enzyme that produced 97% (+)-(1R, 2S)-cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol, in contrast to the wild type, which produced 72% (+)-(1R, 2S)-cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol. This substitution also severely reduced the ability of the enzyme to produce methylcatechols from
nitrotoluenes. Instead, the methyl group of each nitrotoluene isomer was preferentially oxidized to form the corresponding
nitrobenzyl alcohol. Substitution of a valine at position 258 significantly changed the enantiospecificity of 2NTDO (54% (−)-(1S, 2R)-cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol formed from naphthalene) and the ability of the enzyme to oxidize the aromatic ring of nitrotoluenes.
Based on active site modeling using the crystal structure of nitrobenzene 1,2 dioxygenase from Comamonas sp. JS765, Asn258 appears to contribute to substrate specificity through hydrogen bonding to the nitro group of nitrotoluenes. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the biodegradation of nitrobenzene by Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes JS45 proceeds by the reduction of nitrobenzene through nitrosobenzene and hydroxylaminobenzene, followed by rearrangement to 2-aminophenol, which then undergoes meta ring cleavage. We report here the isolation of a Comamonas sp. that uses an oxidative pathway for the complete mineralization of nitrobenzene. The isolate, designated strain JS765, uses nitrobenzene as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. Nitrobenzene-grown cells oxidized nitrobenzene, with the stoichiometric release of nitrite. Extracts of nitrobenzene-grown JS765 showed high levels of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity that were not abolished by heating the cell extracts to 60(deg)C for 10 min. The ring cleavage product had an absorbance maximum at 375 nm, consistent with that of 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. Both NAD-dependent dehydrogenase and NAD-independent hydrolase activities towards 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde were induced in extracts of nitrobenzene-grown cells. Catechol accumulated in the reaction mixture when cells preincubated with 3-chlorocatechol were incubated with nitrobenzene. Conversion of nitrobenzene to catechol by induced cells in the presence of 3-chlorocatechol and (sup18)O(inf2) demonstrated the simultaneous incorporation of two atoms of oxygen, which indicated that the initial reaction was dioxygenation. The results indicate that the catabolic pathway involves an initial dioxygenase attack on nitrobenzene with the release of nitrite and formation of catechol, which is subsequently degraded by a meta cleavage pathway. 相似文献

Acidovorax sp. strain JS42 is able to utilize 2-nitrotoluene (2NT) as its sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. We report here that strain JS42 is chemotactic to 2NT and that the response is increased when cells are grown on compounds such as 2NT that are known to induce the first step of 2NT degradation. Assays with JS42 mutants unable to oxidize 2NT showed that the first step of 2NT metabolism was required for the induced response, but not for a portion of the constitutive response, indicating that 2NT itself is an attractant. The 2NT metabolite nitrite was shown to be a strong attractant for strain JS42, and sufficient nitrite was produced during the taxis assay to account for a large part of the induced response. A mutant with an inactivated ntdY gene, which is located adjacent to the 2NT degradation genes and codes for a putative methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein, showed a defect in taxis toward 2NT that may involve a reduced response to nitrite. Responses of a mutant defective for the energy-taxis receptor, Aer, indicated that a functional aer gene is required for a substantial part of the wild-type induced response to 2NT. In summary, strain JS42 utilizes three types of taxis to sense and respond to 2NT: constitutive 2NT-specific chemotaxis to directly sense 2NT, metabolism-dependent nitrite-specific chemotaxis that may be mediated by NtdY, and energy taxis mediated by Aer. 相似文献

A strain of Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from nitrobenzene-contaminated soil and groundwater on 2-nitrotoluene as the sole source of carbon, energy, and nitrogen. Bacterial cells growing on 2-nitrotoluene released nitrite into the growth medium. The isolate also grew on 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, and catechol. 2-Nitrotoluene, 3-methylcatechol, and catechol stimulated oxygen consumption by intact cells regardless of the growth substrate. Crude extracts from the isolate contained catechol 2,3-dioxygenase and 2-hydroxy-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienoate hydrolase activity. The results suggest that 2-nitrotoluene is subject to initial attack by a dioxygenase enzyme that forms 3-methylcatechol with concomitant release of nitrite. The 3-methylcatechol is subsequently degraded via the meta ring fission pathway. 相似文献

Nitrobenzene is degraded by Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes JS45 via 2-aminophenol to 2-aminomuconic semialdehyde, which is further degraded to pyruvate and acetaldehyde. Comamonas sp. JS765 degrades nitrobenzene via catechol to 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. In this study we examined and compared the
late steps of degradation of nitrobenzene by these two microorganisms in order to reveal the biochemical relationships of
the two pathways and to provide insight for further investigation of their evolutionary history. Experiments showed that 2-hydroxymuconate,
the product of the dehydrogenation of 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde, was degraded to pyruvate and acetaldehyde by crude extracts
of Comamonas sp. JS765, which indicated the operation of a classical catechol meta-cleavage pathway. The semialdehyde dehydrogenases from Comamonas sp. JS765 and P. pseudoalcaligenes JS45 were able to metabolize both 2-amino- and 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde, with strong preference for the physiological
substrate. 2-Aminomuconate was not a substrate for 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase from either bacterial strain. The close
biochemical relationships among the classical catechol meta-cleavage pathway in Comamonas sp. JS765, 2-aminophenol meta-cleavage pathways in P. pseudoalcaligenes JS45, and an alternative 2-aminophenol meta-cleavage pathway in Pseudomonas sp. AP-3 suggest a common evolutionary origin.

The naphthalene dioxygenase (NDO) genes were cloned from Comamonas sp. MQ and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) (designated as ND_IND). The whole cells of recombinant strain ND_IND possessed relatively high transformation efficiency towards indole and most indole derivatives. According to the UV–vis and HPLC–MS analyses, the major products derived from the indoles could be indigo with different substituent groups. Furthermore, strain ND_IND was able to produce 205 mg/l indigo from 300 mg/l indole with a specific production rate of 8.4 mg/(g dry cell weight h). The effects of phenol, pyridine and quinoline on indigo production were determined, which indicated that phenol and pyridine had little inhibition on indigo production while quinoline would result in a 32% decrease in indigo yield. The present study proposed the potential application of recombinant strain ND_IND in indigoid pigments production, and offered the promise of applying strain ND_IND for the production of indigo using indole-containing wastewater as the raw materials. 相似文献

Cloning and expression of the benzoate dioxygenase genes from Rhodococcus sp. strain 19070 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The bopXYZ genes from the gram-positive bacterium Rhodococcus sp. strain 19070 encode a broad-substrate-specific benzoate dioxygenase. Expression of the BopXY terminal oxygenase enabled Escherichia coli to convert benzoate or anthranilate (2-aminobenzoate) to a nonaromatic cis-diol or catechol, respectively. This expression system also rapidly transformed m-toluate (3-methylbenzoate) to an unidentified product. In contrast, 2-chlorobenzoate was not a good substrate. The BopXYZ dioxygenase was homologous to the chromosomally encoded benzoate dioxygenase (BenABC) and the plasmid-encoded toluate dioxygenase (XylXYZ) of gram-negative acinetobacters and pseudomonads. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis failed to identify any plasmid in Rhodococcus sp. strain 19070. Catechol 1,2- and 2,3-dioxygenase activity indicated that strain 19070 possesses both meta- and ortho-cleavage degradative pathways, which are associated in pseudomonads with the xyl and ben genes, respectively. Open reading frames downstream of bopXYZ, designated bopL and bopK, resembled genes encoding cis-diol dehydrogenases and benzoate transporters, respectively. The bop genes were in the same order as the chromosomal ben genes of P. putida PRS2000. The deduced sequences of BopXY were 50 to 60% identical to the corresponding proteins of benzoate and toluate dioxygenases. The reductase components of these latter dioxygenases, BenC and XylZ, are 201 residues shorter than the deduced BopZ sequence. As predicted from the sequence, expression of BopZ in E. coli yielded an approximately 60-kDa protein whose presence corresponded to increased cytochrome c reductase activity. While the N-terminal region of BopZ was approximately 50% identical in sequence to the entire BenC or XylZ reductases, the C terminus was unlike other known protein sequences. 相似文献

Acidovorax sp. strain JS42 uses 2-nitrotoluene as a sole source of carbon and energy. The first enzyme of the degradation pathway, 2-nitrotoluene 2,3-dioxygenase, adds both atoms of molecular oxygen to 2-nitrotoluene, forming nitrite and 3-methylcatechol. All three mononitrotoluene isomers serve as substrates for 2-nitrotoluene dioxygenase, but strain JS42 is unable to grow on 3- or 4-nitrotoluene. Using both long- and short-term selections, we obtained spontaneous mutants of strain JS42 that grew on 3-nitrotoluene. All of the strains obtained by short-term selection had mutations in the gene encoding the α subunit of 2-nitrotoluene dioxygenase that changed isoleucine 204 at the active site to valine. Those strains obtained by long-term selections had mutations that changed the same residue to valine, alanine, or threonine or changed the alanine at position 405, which is just outside the active site, to glycine. All of these changes altered the regiospecificity of the enzymes with 3-nitrotoluene such that 4-methylcatechol was the primary product rather than 3-methylcatechol. Kinetic analyses indicated that the evolved enzymes had enhanced affinities for 3-nitrotoluene and were more catalytically efficient with 3-nitrotoluene than the wild-type enzyme. In contrast, the corresponding amino acid substitutions in the closely related enzyme nitrobenzene 1,2-dioxygenase were detrimental to enzyme activity. When cloned genes encoding the evolved dioxygenases were introduced into a JS42 mutant lacking a functional dioxygenase, the strains acquired the ability to grow on 3-nitrotoluene but with significantly longer doubling times than the evolved strains, suggesting that additional beneficial mutations occurred elsewhere in the genome. 相似文献

The chemical synthesis intermediate 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene (3,4-DCNB) is an environmental pollutant. Diaphorobacter sp. strain JS3050 utilizes 3,4-DCNB as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. However, the molecular determinants of its catabolism are poorly understood. Here, the complete genome of strain JS3050 was sequenced and key genes were expressed heterologously to establish the details of its degradation pathway. A chromosome-encoded three-component nitroarene dioxygenase (DcnAaAbAcAd) converted 3,4-DCNB stoichiometrically to 4,5-dichlorocatechol, which was transformed to 3,4-dichloromuconate by a plasmid-borne ring-cleavage chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase (DcnC). On the chromosome, there are also genes encoding enzymes (DcnDEF) responsible for the subsequent transformation of 3,4-dichloromuconate to β-ketoadipic acid. The fact that the genes responsible for the catabolic pathway are separately located on plasmid and chromosome indicates that recent assembly and ongoing evolution of the genes encoding the pathway is likely. The regiospecificity of 4,5-dichlorocatechol formation from 3,4-DCNB by DcnAaAbAcAd represents a sophisticated evolution of the nitroarene dioxygenase that avoids misrouting of toxic intermediates. The findings enhance the understanding of microbial catabolic diversity during adaptive evolution in response to xenobiotics released into the environment. 相似文献

Sphingomonas sp. strain A4 is capable of utilizing acenaphthene and acenaphthylene as sole carbon and energy sources, but it is unable to grow on other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The genes encoding terminal oxygenase components of ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase (arhA1 and arhA2) were isolated from this strain by means of the ability to oxidize indole to indigo of the Escherichia coli clone containing electron transport proteins from phenanthrene-degrading Sphingobium sp. strain P2. The translated products of arhA1 and arhA2 exhibited moderate sequence identity (less than 56%) to large and small subunits of dioxygenase of other ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases. Biotransformation with recombinant E. coli clone revealed the broad substrate specificity of this oxygenase toward several PAHs including acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene and fluoranthene. Southern hybridization analysis revealed the presence of a putative arhA1 homologue on a locus different from that of the arhA1 gene. Insertion inactivation of the arhA1 gene in strain A4 suggested that the gene but not the putative homologue one was involved in the degradation of acenaphthene and acenaphthylene in this strain. 相似文献

A screening of microorganisms with para-site-specific hydroxylation activity of aromatic compounds has been carried out by a three-step screening procedure involving a newly established micro-plate assay method. About 1300 strains isolated from about 5000 soils showed the activity. The hydroxylation of aromatic compounds by one of the isolates, designated Mycobacterium sp. strain 12523, which had the highest activity, was examined in detail. It produced p-phenols with high selectivity without o-or m-site hydroxylation. The yield of hydroquinone from phenol by strain 12523 was 97 mol%. 相似文献

The cascade of reactive nitrogen species generated from nitric oxide causes modification of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids in a wide range of organisms. 3-Nitrotyrosine is one of the most common products of the action of reactive nitrogen species on proteins. Although a great deal is known about the formation of 3-nitrotyrosine, the subsequent metabolism of this compound is a mystery. Variovorax paradoxus JS171 and Burkholderia sp. strain JS165 were isolated from soil slurries when 3-nitrotyrosine was provided as the sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. During growth on 3-nitrotyrosine stoichiometric amounts of nitrite were released along with approximately one-half of the theoretically available ammonia. The catabolic pathway involving oxidative denitration is distinct from the pathway for tyrosine metabolism. The facile isolation and the specific, regulated pathway for 3-nitrotyrosine degradation in natural ecosystems suggest that there is a significant flux of 3-nitrotyrosine in such environments. 相似文献

The substrate range of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) dioxygenase was investigated by measuring substrate-dependent O2 uptake and maximum growth (expressed in A600) on substrate-containing minimal medium. The control for each strain had no added particular substrate. The following aromatic compounds: catechol, α-naphthalene acetic acid, β-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, 3,4-dinitrosalicylic acid, p-nitrophenol, naphthanol, o-anisic acid, salicylic acid, toluene, and benzoic acid, were tried as possible substrates. Considering all substrates used, only p-nitrophenol showed zero oxygen uptake rate and zero growth. This indicates that it was rather unlikely that p-nitrophenol is a substrate analog for 2,4-DNT. Catechol was clearly used as a sole carbon source by both wild-type Escherichia. coli (JM103) and the dnt transformant (JS39). Using α-naphthalene acetic acid and β-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde as substrates resulted in DNT dioxygenase oxygen uptake rates of 11.8 and 14?μM/hr/mg protein, respectively. However, using both compounds as a carbon source, JS39 had twice the growth rate of E. coli JM103. For the remaining six substrates tested (3, 4-dinitrosalicylic acid, p-nitrophenol, o-anisic acid, salicylic acid, toluene, and benzoic acid), there appeared to be growth advantages for JS39 (even though the growth in the presence of substrate was less than the controls) suggesting a situation similar to that described for α-naphthalene and β-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde above. Combining results from our assay with respirometry and growth-based experiments will allow a better understanding of the biochemical consequences of these interactions. These results suggest that DNT dioxygenase gene, dntA carried by JS39, and those potential genes for substrates-degraded enzyme(s) system could have a common root. 相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. strain JS42 utilizes 2-nitrotoluene (2NT) as the sole source of carbon and energy for growth. Intact cells catalyze the oxidation of 2NT to 3-methylcatechol and nitrite in a reaction that requires molecular oxygen. Cell extracts oxidized 2NT to 3-methylcatechol and nitrite in the presence of NAD(P)H and ferrous iron. Ion-exchange chromatography yielded three protein fractions (A, B, and C) which were all required for the oxidation of 2NT to 3-methylcatechol and nitrite. Component B (reductase2NT) catalyzed a NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of cytochrome c. Solutions of component A (ISP2NT) were brown and showed absorption maxima at 458 and 324 nm. Two major bands with M(r)s 52,500 and 28,000 were observed when ISP2NT was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Component C could be replaced by ferredoxin NAP from the Pseudomonas putida NCIB 9816-4 naphthalene dioxygenase system and was given the designation ferredoxin2NT. Experiments with 18O2 showed that both oxygen atoms were added to the aromatic ring of 2NT to yield 3-methylcatechol. The enzyme is a new multicomponent enzyme system which we have designated 2NT 2,3-dioxygenase. 相似文献

To address the multiplicity of aromatic ring hydroxylation dioxygenases, we used PCR amplification and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The amplified DNA fragments separated into five bands, A to E. Southern hybridization analysis of RHA1 total DNA using the probes for each band showed that band C originated from a couple of homologous genes. The nucleotide sequences of the bands showed that bands A, C, and E would be parts of new dioxygenase genes in RHA1. That of band B agreed with the bphA1 gene, which was characterized previously. That of band D did not correspond to any known gene sequences. The regions including the entire open reading frames (ORFs) were cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences of ORFs suggested that the genes of bands A, C, and E may respectively encode benzoate, biphenyl, and polyhydrocarbon dioxygenases. Northern hybridization indicated the induction of the gene of band A by benzoate and biphenyl, and that of the gene of band C by biphenyl and ethylbenzene, supporting the above notions. The gene of band E was not induced by any of these substrates. Thus the combination of DGGE and Southern hybridization enable us to address the multiplicity of the ring hydroxylation dioxygenase genes and to isolate some of them. 相似文献
