Incubation of resting cells of Sphingobium indicum B90A, Sphingobium japonicum UT26, and Sphingobium francense Sp+ showed that they were able to transform beta- and delta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta- and delta-HCH, respectively), the most recalcitrant hexachlorocyclohexane isomers, to pentachlorocyclohexanols, but only resting cells of strain B90A could further transform the pentachlorocyclohexanol intermediates to the corresponding tetrachlorocyclohexanediols. Moreover, experiments with resting cells of Escherichia coli expressing the LinB proteins of strains B90A, UT26, and Sp+ indicated that LinB was responsible for these transformations. Purified LinB proteins from all three strains also effected the formation of the respective pentachlorocyclohexanols. Although the three LinB enzymes differ only marginally with respect to amino acid sequence, they showed interesting differences with respect to substrate specificity. When LinB from strain B90A was incubated with beta- and delta-HCH, the pentachlorocyclohexanol products were further transformed and eventually disappeared from the incubation mixtures. In contrast, the LinB proteins from strains UT26 and Sp+ could not catalyze transformation of the pentachlorocyclohexanols, and these products accumulated in the incubation mixture. A mutant of strain Sp+ lacking linA and linB did not degrade any of the HCH isomers, including beta-HCH, and complementation of this mutant by linB from strain B90A restored the ability to degrade beta- and delta-HCH. 相似文献

Although the production and use of technical hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and lindane (the purified insecticidal isomer γ‐HCH) are prohibited in most countries, residual concentrations still constitute an immense environmental burden. Many studies describe the mineralization of γ‐HCH by bacterial strains under aerobic conditions. However, the metabolic fate of the other HCH isomers is not well known. In this study, we investigated the transformation of α‐, β‐, γ‐, δ‐, ε‐HCH, and a heptachlorocyclohexane isomer in the presence of varying ratios of the two enzymes that initiate γ‐HCH degradation, a dehydrochlorinase (LinA) and a haloalkane dehalogenase (LinB). Each substrate yielded a unique metabolic profile that was strongly dependent on the enzyme ratio. Comparison of these results to those of in vivo experiments with different bacterial isolates showed that HCH transformation in the tested strains was highly optimized towards productive metabolism of γ‐HCH and that under these conditions other HCH‐isomers were metabolized to mixtures of dehydrochlorinated and hydroxylated side‐products. In view of these results, bioremediation efforts need very careful planning and toxicities of accumulating metabolites need to be evaluated. 相似文献

gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH) is one of several highly chlorinated insecticides that cause serious environmental problems. The cellular proteins of a gamma-HCH-degrading bacterium, Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26, were fractionated into periplasmic, cytosolic, and membrane fractions after osmotic shock. Most of two different types of dehalogenase, LinA (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinase) and LinB (1,3,4,6-tetrachloro-1,4-cyclohexadiene halidohydrolase), that are involved in the early steps of gamma-HCH degradation in UT26 was detected in the periplasmic fraction and had not undertaken molecular processing. Furthermore, immunoelectron microscopy clearly showed that LinA and LinB are periplasmic proteins. LinA and LinB both lack a typical signal sequence for export, so they may be secreted into the periplasmic space via a hitherto unknown mechanism. 相似文献

Sphingomonas paucimobilis B90A contains two variants, LinA1 and LinA2, of a dehydrochlorinase that catalyzes the first and second steps in the metabolism of hexachlorocyclohexanes (R. Kumari, S. Subudhi, M. Suar, G. Dhingra, V. Raina, C. Dogra, S. Lal, J. R. van der Meer, C. Holliger, and R. Lal, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 68:6021-6028, 2002). On the amino acid level, LinA1 and LinA2 were 88% identical to each other, and LinA2 was 100% identical to LinA of S. paucimobilis UT26. Incubation of chiral alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-HCH) with Escherichia coli BL21 expressing functional LinA1 and LinA2 S-glutathione transferase fusion proteins showed that LinA1 preferentially converted the (+) enantiomer, whereas LinA2 preferred the (-) enantiomer. Concurrent formation and subsequent dissipation of beta-pentachlorocyclohexene enantiomers was also observed in these experiments, indicating that there was enantioselective formation and/or dissipation of these enantiomers. LinA1 preferentially formed (3S,4S,5R,6R)-1,3,4,5,6-pentachlorocyclohexene, and LinA2 preferentially formed (3R,4R,5S,6S)-1,3,4,5,6-pentachlorocyclohexene. Because enantioselectivity was not observed in incubations with whole cells of S. paucimobilis B90A, we concluded that LinA1 and LinA2 are equally active in this organism. The enantioselective transformation of chiral alpha-HCH by LinA1 and LinA2 provides the first evidence of the molecular basis for the changed enantiomer composition of alpha-HCH in many natural environments. Enantioselective degradation may be one of the key processes determining enantiomer composition, especially when strains that contain only one of the linA genes, such as S. paucimobilis UT26, prevail. 相似文献

Predatory protozoa are known to enhance biodegradation by bacteria in a variety of systems including rumen. This is apparently
counterintuitive since many protozoa do not themselves produce extracellular degradative enzymes and prey upon bacterial degraders.
We propose a mechanism of protozoal enhancement of bacterial biodegradation based on the sociobiology of biodegradation. Since
extracellular enzyme production by degraders involves a cost to the bacterial cell, cheaters that do not make the enzyme will
have a selective advantage. In the presence of cheaters, degraders that physically attach to water-insoluble substrate will
have a selective advantage over free-floating degraders. On the other hand, cheaters will benefit by being free floaters since
they consume the solubilized products of extracellular enzymes. Predatory ciliated protozoa are more likely to consume free-floating
cheaters. Thus, due to protozoan predation a control is exerted on the cheater population. We illustrate the dynamics of such
a system with the help of a computer simulation model. Available data on rumen and other biodegradation systems involving
protozoa are compatible with the assumptions and predictions of the model. 相似文献

gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinase (LinA) catalyzes the initial steps in the biotransformation of the important insecticide gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH) by the soil bacterium Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26. Stereochemical analysis of the reaction products formed during conversion of gamma-HCH by LinA was investigated by GC-MS, NMR, CD, and molecular modeling. The NMR spectra of 1,3,4,5,6-pentachlorocyclohexene (PCCH) produced from gamma-HCH using either enzymatic dehydrochlorination or alkaline dehydrochlorination were compared and found to be identical. Both enantiomers present in the racemate of synthetic gamma-PCCH were converted by LinA, each at a different rate. 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) was detected as the only product of the biotransformation of biosynthetic gamma-PCCH. 1,2,4-TCB and 1,2,3-TCB were identified as the dehydrochlorination products of racemic gamma-PCCH. delta-PCCH was detected as the only product of dehydrochlorination of delta-HCH. LinA requires the presence of a 1,2-biaxial HCl pair on a substrate molecule. LinA enantiotopologically differentiates two 1,2-biaxial HCl pairs present on gamma-HCH and gives rise to a single PCCH enantiomer 1,3(R),4(S),5(S),6(R)-PCCH. Furthermore, LinA enantiomerically differentiates 1,3(S),4(R),5(R),6(S)-PCCH and 1,3(R),4(S),5(S),6(R)-PCCH. The proposed mechanism of enzymatic biotransformation of gamma-HCH to 1,2,4-TCB by LinA consists of two 1,2-anti conformationally dependent dehydrochlorinations followed by 1,4-anti dehydrochlorination. 相似文献

Heterologous expression of the bacterial enzyme haloalkane dehalogenase LinB from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 in methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is reported. The haloalkane dehalogenase gene linB was subcloned into the pPICZalphaA vector and integrated into the genome of P. pastoris. The recombinant LinB secreted from the yeast was purified to homogeneity and biochemically characterized. The deglycosylation experiment and mass spectrometry measurements showed that the recombinant LinB expressed in P. pastoris is glycosylated with a 2.8 kDa size of high mannose core. The specific activity of the glycosylated LinB was 15.6 +/- 3.7 micromol/min/mg of protein with 1,2-dibromoethane and 1.86 +/- 0.36 micromol/min/mg of protein with 1-chlorobutane. Activity and solution structure of the protein produced in P. pastoris is comparable with that of recombinant LinB expressed in Escherichia coli. The melting temperature determined by the circular dichroism (41.7+/-0.3 degrees C for LinB expressed in P. pastoris and 41.8 +/- 0.3 degrees C expressed in E. coli) and thermal stability measured by specific activity to 1-chlorobutane were also similar for two enzymes. Our results show that LinB can be extracellularly expressed in eukaryotic cell and glycosylation had no effect on activity, protein fold and thermal stability of LinB. 相似文献

Background
Here we report specific activities of all seven naturally occurring LinA variants towards three different isomers, α, γ and δ, of a priority persistent pollutant, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). Sequence-structure-function differences contributing to the differences in their stereospecificity for α-, γ-, and δ-HCH and enantiospecificity for (+)- and (−)-α -HCH are also discussed.Methodology/Principal Findings
Enzyme kinetic studies were performed with purified LinA variants. Models of LinA2B90A A110T, A111C, A110T/A111C and LinA1B90A were constructed using the FoldX computer algorithm. Turnover rates (min−1) showed that the LinAs exhibited differential substrate affinity amongst the four HCH isomers tested. α-HCH was found to be the most preferred substrate by all LinA''s, followed by the γ and then δ isomer.Conclusions/Significance
The kinetic observations suggest that LinA-γ1-7 is the best variant for developing an enzyme-based bioremediation technology for HCH. The majority of the sequence variation in the various linA genes that have been isolated is not neutral, but alters the enantio- and stereoselectivity of the encoded proteins. 相似文献13.
gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane dehydrochlorinase (LinA) is a unique dehydrochlorinase that has no homologous sequence at the amino acid-sequence level and for which the evolutionary origin is unknown. We here propose that LinA is a member of a novel structural superfamily of proteins containing scytalone dehydratase, 3-oxo-Delta(5)-steroid isomerase, nuclear transport factor 2, and the beta-subunit of naphthalene dioxygenase-all known structures with different functions. The catalytic and the active site residues of LinA are predicted on the basis of its homology model. Nine mutants that carry substitutions of the proposed catalytic residues were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. In addition to these, eight mutants that have a potential to make contact with the substrate were prepared by site-directed mutagenesis. These mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli, and their activities in crude extract were evaluated. Most of the features of the LinA mutants could be explained on the basis of the present LinA model, indicating its validity. We conclude that LinA catalyzes the proton abstraction via the catalytic dyad H73-D25 by a similar mechanism as described for scytalone dehydratase. The results suggest that LinA and scytalone dehydratase evolved from a common ancestor. LinA may have evolved from an enzyme showing a dehydratase activity. 相似文献

Haloalkane dehalogenases are bacterial enzymes capable of carbon-halogen bond cleavage in halogenated compounds. To obtain insights into the mechanism of the haloalkane dehalogenase from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 (LinB), we studied the steady-state and presteady-state kinetics of the conversion of the substrates 1-chlorohexane, chlorocyclohexane, and bromocyclohexane. The results lead to a proposal of a minimal kinetic mechanism consisting of three main steps: (i) substrate binding, (ii) cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond with simultaneous formation of an alkyl-enzyme intermediate, and (iii) hydrolysis of the alkyl-enzyme intermediate. Release of both products, halide and alcohol, is a fast process that was not included in the reaction mechanism as a distinct step. Comparison of the kinetic mechanism of LinB with that of haloalkane dehalogenase DhlA from Xantobacter autotrophicus GJ10 and the haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA from Rhodococcus rhodochrous NCIMB 13064 shows that the overall mechanisms are similar. The main difference is in the rate-limiting step, which is hydrolysis of the alkylenzyme intermediate in LinB, halide release in DhlA, and liberation of an alcohol in DhaA. The occurrence of different rate-limiting steps for three enzymes that belong to the same protein family indicates that extrapolation of this important catalytic property from one enzyme to another can be misleading even for evolutionary closely related proteins. The differences in the rate-limiting step were related to: (i) number and size of the entrance tunnels, (ii) protein flexibility, and (iii) composition of the halide-stabilizing active site residues based on comparison of protein structures. 相似文献

The role of indigenous bacterial and fungal soil populations in the
biodegradation of crude oil in a desert soil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The biodegradation capacity of indigenous microbial populations was examined in a desert soil contaminated with crude oil. To evaluate biodegradation, soil samples supplemented with 5, 10 or 20% (w/w) of crude oil were incubated for 90 days at 30 °C. The effect of augmentation of the soil with vermiculite (50% v/v) as a bulking agent providing increased surface/volume ratio and improved soil aeration was also tested. Maximal biodegradation (91%) was obtained in soil containing the highest concentration of crude oil (20%) and supplemented with vermiculite; only 74% of the oil was degraded in samples containing the same level of crude oil but lacking vermiculite. Gas chromatograms of distilled fractions of crude oil extracted from the soil before and after incubation demonstrated that most of the light and part of the intermediate weight fractions initially present in the oil extracts could not be detected after incubation. Monitoring of microbial population densities revealed an initial decline in bacterial viable counts after exposure to oil, presumably as a result of the crude oil’s toxicity. This decline was followed by a steep recovery in microbial population density, then by a moderate increase that persisted until the end of incubation. By contrast, the inhibitory effect of crude oil on the fungal population was minimal. Furthermore, the overall increased growth response of the fungal population, at all three levels of contamination, was about one order of magnitude higher than that of the bacterial population. 相似文献

Increased phosphatidylinositol synthesis in rat embryo fibroblasts after growth stimulation and its inhibition by delta-hexachlorocyclohexane 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
When resting rat embryo fibroblasts are stimulated to grow, a substantial increase in phosphatidylinositol synthesis can be observed. This increase cannot be explained by increased glucose uptake or glycolysis. delta-Hexachlorocyclohexane having the same configuration as myo-inositol, inhibits phosphatidyl inositol synthesis as well as DNA synthesis and mitosis, but has no effect on phosphatidyl choline synthesis. When delta-hexachlorocyclohexane is added to fibroblast cultures during the first hours after stimulation, a delay of DNA synthesis and mitosis compared to uninhibited cultures can be observed. Since delta-hexachlorocyclohexane also inhibits the uptake of nucleotides, hexoses and amino acids, it is suggested that phosphatidylinositol is necessary for the proper functioning of those receptors and carriers which are an essential part of the early cellular processes after growth stimulation, and this role of phosphatidyl-inositol may explain its increased turnover in growing cells. The increased phosphatidylinositol synthesis could not be associated to one of the subcellular fractions. When cells were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate during the first 10 min after growth stimulation and were subsequently separated into cellular fractions such as nuclei, mitochondria, plasma membranes and microsomes, no significant differences in radioactivity of phosphatidylinositol among those fractions could be observed. 相似文献

Phthalates biodegradation in the environment 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Phthalates are synthesized in massive amounts to produce various plastics and have become widespread in environments following their release as a result of extensive usage and production. This has been of an environmental concern because phthalates are hepatotoxic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic by nature. Numerous studies indicated that phthalates can be degraded by bacteria and fungi under aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic conditions. This paper gives a review on the biodegradation of phthalates and includes the following aspects: (1) the relationship between the chemical structure of phthalates and their biodegradability, (2) the biodegradation of phthalates by pure/mixed cultures, (3) the biodegradation of phthalates under various environments, and (4) the biodegradation pathways of phthalates. 相似文献

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas sp. and its role in aqueous phase partitioning and biodegradation of chlorpyrifos 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aim: To study the effect of biosurfactant on aqueous phase solubility and biodegradation of chlorpyrifos.
Methods and Results: A Pseudomonas sp. (ChlD), isolated from agricultural soil by enrichment culture technique in the presence of chlorpyrifos, was capable of producing biosurfactant (rhamnolipids) and degrading chlorpyrifos (0·01 g l−1 ). The partially purified rhamnolipid biosurfactant preparation, having a CMC of 0·2 g l−1 , was evaluated for its ability to enhance aqueous phase partitioning and degradation of chlorpyrifos (0·01 g l−1 ) by ChlD strain. The best degradation efficiency was observed at 0·1 g l−1 supplement of biosurfactant, as validated by GC and HPLC studies.
Conclusion: The addition of biosurfactant at 0·1 g l−1 resulted in more than 98% degradation of chlorpyrifos when compared to 84% in the absence of biosurfactant after 120-h incubation.
Significance and Impact of the Study: This first report, to the best of our knowledge, on enhanced degradation of chlorpyrifos in the presence of biosurfactant(s), would help in developing bioremediation protocols to counter accumulation of organophosphates to toxic/carcinogenic levels in environment. 相似文献
