Pseudomonas putida F1 utilizes p-cymene (p-isopropyltoluene) by an 11-step pathway through p-cumate (p-isopropylbenzoate) to isobutyrate, pyruvate, and acetyl coenzyme A. The cym operon, encoding the conversion of p-cymene to p-cumate, is located just upstream of the cmt operon, which encodes the further catabolism of p-cumate and is located, in turn, upstream of the tod (toluene catabolism) operon in P. putida F1. The sequences of an 11,236-bp DNA segment carrying the cym operon and a 915-bp DNA segment completing the sequence of the 2,673-bp DNA segment separating the cmt and tod operons have been determined and are discussed here. The cym operon contains six genes in the order cymBCAaAbDE. The gene products have been identified both by functional assays and by comparing deduced amino acid sequences to published sequences. Thus, cymAa and cymAb encode the two components of p-cymene monooxygenase, a hydroxylase and a reductase, respectively; cymB encodes p-cumic alcohol dehydrogenase; cymC encodes p-cumic aldehyde dehydrogenase; cymD encodes a putative outer membrane protein related to gene products of other aromatic hydrocarbon catabolic operons, but having an unknown function in p-cymene catabolism; and cymE encodes an acetyl coenzyme A synthetase whose role in this pathway is also unknown. Upstream of the cym operon is a regulatory gene, cymR. By using recombinant bacteria carrying either the operator-promoter region of the cym operon or the cmt operon upstream of genes encoding readily assayed enzymes, in the presence or absence of cymR, it was demonstrated that cymR encodes a repressor which controls expression of both the cym and cmt operons and is inducible by p-cumate but not p-cymene. Short (less than 350 bp) homologous DNA segments that are located upstream of cymR and between the cmt and tod operons may have been involved in recombination events that led to the current arrangement of cym, cmt, and tod genes in P. putida F1. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida F1 utilizes p-cumate (p-isopropylbenzoate) as a growth substrate by means of an eight-step catabolic pathway. A 35.75-kb DNA segment, within which the cmt operon encoding the catabolism of p-cumate is located, was cloned as four separate overlapping restriction fragments and mapped with restriction endonucleases. By examining enzyme activities in recombinant bacteria carrying these fragments and sub-cloned fragments, genes encoding most of the enzymes of the p-cumate pathway were located. Subsequent sequence analysis of 11,260 bp gave precise locations of the 12 genes of the cmt operon. The first three genes, cmtAaAbAc, and the sixth gene, cmtAd, encode the components of p-cumate 2,3-dioxygenase (ferredoxin reductase, large subunit of the terminal dioxygenase, small subunit of the terminal dioxygenase, and ferredoxin, respectively); these genes are separated by cmtC, which encodes 2,3-dihydroxy-p-cumate 3,4-dioxygenase, and cmtB, coding for 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydro-p-cumate dehydrogenase. The ring cleavage product, 2-hydroxy-3-carboxy-6-oxo-7-methylocta-2,4-dienoate, is acted on by a decarboxylase encoded by the seventh gene, cmtD, which is followed by a large open reading frame, cmtI, of unknown function. The next four genes, cmtEFHG, encode 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7-methylocta-2,4-dienoate hydrolase, 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate hydratase, 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase, and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, respectively, which transform the decarboxylation product to amphibolic intermediates. The deduced amino acid sequences of all the cmt gene products except CmtD and CmtI have a recognizable but low level of identity with amino acid sequences of enzymes catalyzing analogous reactions in other catabolic pathways. This identity is highest for the last two enzymes of the pathway (4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase [acylating]), which have identities of 66 to 77% with the corresponding enzymes from other aromatic meta-cleavage pathways. Recombinant bacteria carrying certain restriction fragments bordering the cmt operon were found to transform indole to indigo. This reaction, known to be catalyzed by toluene 2,3-dioxygenase, led to the discovery that the tod operon, encoding the catabolism of toluene, is located 2.8 kb downstream from and in the same orientation as the cmt operon in P. putida F1. 相似文献

Engineering of hybrid gene clusters between the toluene metabolic tod operon and the biphenyl metabolic bph operon greatly enhanced the rate of biodegradation of trichloroethylene. Escherichia coli cells carrying a hybrid gene cluster composed of todC1 (the gene encoding the large subunit of toluene terminal dioxygenase in Pseudomonas putida F1), bphA2 (the gene encoding the small subunit of biphenyl terminal dioxygenase in Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707), bphA3 (the gene encoding ferredoxin in KF707), and bphA4 (the gene encoding ferredoxin reductase in KF707) degraded trichloroethylene much faster than E. coli cells carrying the original toluene dioxygenase genes (todC1C2BA) or the original biphenyl dioxygenase genes (bphA1A2A3A4). 相似文献

Toluene metabolism by the solvent-tolerant Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1 strain, and its role in solvent impermeabilization. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E is a solvent-tolerant strain able to grow with toluene as the sole C-source. Tn5 mutagenesis was carried out and a mutant unable to use toluene as the sole C-source was isolated. DNA was sequenced upstream and downstream of the site where the Tn5 was inserted. Analysis of the DNA revealed 13 open reading frames (ORFs) homologous to the tod genes for the toluene dioxygenase pathway of P. putida F1, which are organized in two operons: todXFC1C2BADEGIH and todST. The Tn5 was inserted at the todH gene. The role of the todXFC1C2BADEGIH operon in toluene metabolism was further confirmed in a todC1 mutant (generated by insertional inactivation), which was unable to use toluene as the sole C-source. Primer extension analysis identified a single promoter upstream from the todX gene. The -10 and -35 regions of this promoter showed no significant homology to known promoters. Expression from the todX promoter occurred in response to toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, xylenes and other aromatic hydrocarbons. Expression from the todS gene was constitutive. Sensitivity to toluene of the todH and todC1 mutants was similar to that of the wild-type strain. This suggests that toluene metabolism is not involved in toluene tolerance. 相似文献

bph operons coding for biphenyl-polychlorinated biphenyl degradation in Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 and Pseudomonas putida KF715 and tod operons coding for toluene-benzene metabolism in P. putida F1 are very similar in gene organization as well as size and homology of the corresponding enzymes (G. J. Zylstra and D. T. Gibson, J. Biol. Chem. 264:14940-14946, 1989; K. Taira, J. Hirose, S. Hayashida, and K. Furukawa, J. Biol. Chem. 267:4844-4853, 1992), despite their discrete substrate ranges for metabolism. The gene components responsible for substrate specificity between the bph and tod operons were investigated. The large subunit of the terminal dioxygenase (encoded by bphA1 and todC1) and the ring meta-cleavage compound hydrolase (bphD and todF) were critical for their discrete metabolic specificities, as shown by the following results. (i) Introduction of todC1C2 (coding for the large and small subunits of the terminal dioxygenase in toluene metabolism) or even only todC1 into biphenyl-utilizing P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 and P. putida KF715 allowed them to grow on toluene-benzene by coupling with the lower benzoate meta-cleavage pathway. Introduction of the bphD gene (coding for 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolase) into toluene-utilizing P. putida F1 permitted growth on biphenyl. (ii) With various bph and tod mutant strains, it was shown that enzyme components of ferredoxin (encoded by bphA3 and todB), ferredoxin reductase (bphA4 and todA), and dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (bphB and todD) were complementary with one another. (iii) Escherichia coli cells carrying a hybrid gene cluster of todClbphA2A3A4BC (constructed by replacing bphA1 with todC1) converted toluene to a ring meta-cleavage 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-hepta-2,4-dienoic acid, indicating that TodC1 formed a functional multicomponent dioxygenase associated with BphA2 (a small subunit of the terminal dioxygenase in biphenyl metabolism), BphA3, and BphA4. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida GS1 is able to convert limonene to perillic acid (up to 64 mM,(11 g/l) when the bacteria is cultivated in fed-batch culture with non-limiting amounts of glycerol. ammonium, and limonene. P. putida GS1 can use p-cymene as a single source of carbon and energy, and the enzymes that are responsible for the conversion of limonene to perillic acid belong to the degradation pathway of p-cymene. The p-cymene pathway of P putida GS1 is very similar, if not identical, to the cym pathway of P. putida F1. The latter strain, and a recombinant Escherichia coli strain that carried the genes of the cym pathway of P. putida Fl, also converted limonene to perillic acid. However, the final concentrations that were obtained in batch cultures with these two strains were lower than those obtained with P. putida GS1. 相似文献

The two final steps of meta-cleavage pathway for catechol degradation involve conversion of 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate, via acetaldehyde, to acetyl coenzyme A. We report here the complete nucleotide sequences and overexpression of the phnIJ genes for an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating) (ADA) and a 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase (HOA) from the meta-pathway operon of the phenanthrene-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ77. Additional partial sequence analysis of adjacent DNA shows the gene order within the operon to be phnHIJ, identical to the order found for the isofunctional genes in the other meta-pathway operons. The deduced amino acid sequences of the PhnI (312 amino acids) and PhnJ (343 amino acids) have identities of 51-71% with the corresponding genes of dmp, xyl, nah, bph_LB400, bph_KKS102, tod, cum, cmt, and MTCY03C7 operons. The phylogenetic analyses reveal the evolutionary relationships of HOA and ADA. 相似文献

Construction of a hybrid strain which is capable of mineralizing components of a benzene, toluene, and p-xylene mixture simultaneously was attempted by redesigning the metabolic pathway of Pseudomonas putida. Genetic and biochemical analyses of the tod and the tol pathways revealed that dihydrodiols formed from benzene, toluene, and p-xylene by toluene dioxygenase in the tod pathway could be channeled into the tol pathway by the action of cis-p-toluate-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase, leading to complete mineralization of a benzene, toluene, and p-xylene mixture. Consequently, a hybrid strain was constructed by cloning todC1C2BA genes encoding toluene dioxygenase on RSF1010 and introducing the resulting plasmid into P. putida mt-2. The hybrid strain of P. putida TB105 was found to mineralize a benzene, toluene, and p-xylene mixture without accumulation of any metabolic intermediate. 相似文献

The metabolic range of the solvent-resistant bacterium, Pseudomonas putida S12, was successfully expanded by transferring into it catabolic plasmids for the degradation of toluene, biphenyl and naphthalene. Enhancement of the catabolic possibilities of P. putida S12 strain does not interfere with its toluene resistance properties. In this way we obtained derivatives which are able to use the heterologous genes in a two-phase system. 相似文献

Sequence analysis in Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E revealed a second toluene efflux system for toluene metabolism encoded by the ttgDEF genes, which are adjacent to the tod genes. The ttgDEF genes were expressed in response to the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and styrene in the culture medium. To characterize the contribution of the TtgDEF system to toluene tolerance in P. putida, site-directed mutagenesis was used to knock out the gene in the wild-type DOT-T1E strain and in a mutant derivative, DOT-T1E-18. This mutant carried a Tn5 insertion in the ttgABC gene cluster, which encodes a toluene efflux pump that is synthesized constitutively. For site-directed mutagenesis, a cassette to knock out the ttgD gene and encoding resistance to tellurite was constructed in vitro and transferred to the corresponding host chromosome via the suicide plasmid pKNG101. Successful replacement of the wild-type sequences with the mutant cassette was confirmed by Southern hybridization. A single ttgD mutant, DOT-T1E-1, and a double mutant with knock outs in the ttgD and ttgA genes, DOT-T1E-82, were obtained and characterized for toluene tolerance. This was assayed by the sudden addition of toluene (0.3% [vol/vol]) to the liquid culture medium of cells growing on Luria-Bertani (LB) medium (noninduced) or on LB medium with toluene supplied via the gas phase (induced). Induced cells of the single ttgD mutant were more sensitive to sudden toluene shock than were the wild-type cells; however, noninduced wild-type and ttgD mutant cells were equally tolerant to toluene shock. Noninduced cells of the double DOT-T1E-82 mutant did not survive upon sudden toluene shock; however, they still remained viable upon sudden toluene shock if they had been previously induced. These results are discussed in the context of the use of multiple efflux pumps involved in solvent tolerance in P. putida DOT-T1E. 相似文献

Pseudomonas putida PpF1 degrades toluene through cis-toluene dihydrodiol to 3-methylcatechol. The latter compound is metabolized through the well-established meta pathway for catechol degradation. The first four steps in the pathway involve the sequential action of toluene dioxygenase (todABC1C2), cis-toluene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (todD), 3-methylcatechol 2,3-dioxygenase (todE), and 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,4-heptadienoate hydrolase (todF). The genes for these enzymes form part of the tod operon which is responsible for the degradation of toluene by this organism. A combination of transposon mutagenesis of the PpF1 chromosome, as well as analysis of cloned chromosomal fragments, was used to determine the physical order of the genes in the tod operon. The genes were determined to be transcribed in the order todF, todC1, todC2, todB, todA, todD, todE. 相似文献

Location and sequence of the todF gene encoding 2-hydroxy-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienoate hydrolase in Pseudomonas putida F1 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The gene (todF) encoding 2-hydroxy-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienoate hydrolase in Pseudomonas putida F1 was shown to be located upstream of the todC1C2BADE genes. The latter form part of the tod operon and encode the enzymes responsible for the initial reactions in toluene degradation. The nucleotide (nt) sequence of todF was determined and the deduced amino acid (aa) sequence revealed that the hydrolase contains 276 aa with a Mr of 30,753. The deduced aa sequence was 63.5% homologous to that reported for 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde hydrolase which is involved in phenol degradation by Pseudomonas CF600. 相似文献

Metabolic engineering of Pseudomonas putida for the simultaneous biodegradation of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene mixture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
For the complete biodegradation of a mixture of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene (BTX), a critical metabolic step that can connect two existing metabolic pathways of aromatic compounds (the tod and the tol pathways) was determined. Toluate-cis-glycol dehydrogenase in the tol pathway was found to attack benzene-cis-glycol, toluene-cis-glycol, and p-xylene-cis-glycol, which are metabolic intermediates of the tod pathway. Based on this observation, a hybrid strain, Pseudomonase putida TB101, was constructed by introduction of the TOL plasmid pWW0 into P. putida F39/D, a derivative of P. putida F1, which is unable to transform cis-glycol compounds to corresponding catechols. The metabolic flux of BTX into the tod pathway was redirected to the tol pathway at the level of cis-glycol compounds by the action of toluate-cis-glycol dehydrogenase in P. putida TB101, resulting in the simultaneous mineralization of BTX mixture without accumulation of any metabolic intermediates. The profile of specific degradation rates showed a similar pattern as that of the specific growth rate of the microorganism, and the maximum specific degradation rates of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene were determined to be about 0.27, 0.86, and 2.89 mg/mg biomass/h, respectively. P. putida TB101 is the first reported microorganism that mineralizes BTX mixture simultaneously. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The reporter strain Pseudomonas putida TOD102 (with a tod-lux fusion) was used in chemostat experiments with binary substrate mixtures to investigate the effect of potentially occurring cosubstrates on toluene degradation activity. Although toluene was simultaneously utilized with other cosubstrates, its metabolic flux (defined as the toluene utilization rate per cell) decreased with increasing influent concentrations of ethanol, acetate, or phenol. Three inhibitory mechanisms were considered to explain these trends: (1) repression of the tod gene (coding for toluene dioxygenase) by acetate and ethanol, which was quantified by a decrease in specific bioluminescence; (2) competitive inhibition of toluene dioxygenase by phenol; and (3) metabolic flux dilution (MFD) by all three cosubstrates. Based on experimental observations, MFD was modeled without any fitting parameters by assuming that the metabolic flux of a substrate in a mixture is proportional to its relative availability (expressed as a fraction of the influent total organic carbon). Thus, increasing concentrations of alternative carbon sources "dilute" the metabolic flux of toluene without necessarily repressing tod, as observed with phenol (a known tod inducer). For all cosubstrates, the MFD model slightly overpredicted the measured toluene metabolic flux. Incorporating catabolite repression (for experiments with acetate or ethanol) or competitive inhibition (for experiments with phenol) with independently obtained parameters resulted in more accurate fits of the observed decrease in toluene metabolic flux with increasing cosubstrate concentration. These results imply that alternative carbon sources (including inducers) are likely to hinder toluene utilization per unit cell, and that these effects can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models. 相似文献
