Two monomethyl esters of alpha-(1-4)-linked D-galacturonic dimers and three monomethyl esters of alpha-(1-4)-linked D-galacturonic acid trimers were synthesized chemically and further used as substrates in order to establish the substrate specificity of six different endopolygalacturonases from Aspergillus niger, one exopolygalacturonase from Aspergillus tubingensis, and four selected Erwinia chrysanthemi pectinases; exopolygalacturonan hydrolase X (PehX), exopolygalacturonate lyase X (PelX), exopectate lyase W (PelW), and oligogalacturonan lyase (Ogl). All A. niger endopolygalacturonases (PGs) were unable to hydrolyze the two monomethyldigalacturonates and 2-methyltrigalacturonate, whereas 1-methyltrigalacturonate was only cleaved by PGI, PGII, and PGB albeit at an extremely low rate. The hydrolysis of 3-methyltrigalacturonate into 2-methyldigalacturonate and galacturonate by all endopolygalacturonases demonstrates that these enzymes can accommodate a methylgalacturonate at subsite -2. The A. tubingensis exopolygalacturonase hydrolyzed the monomethyl-esterified digalacturonates and trigalacturonates although at lower rates than for the corresponding oligogalacturonates. 1-Methyltrigalacturonate was hydrolyzed at the same rate as trigalacturonate which demonstrates that the presence of a methyl ester at the third galacturonic acid from the nonreducing end does not have any effect on the performance of exopolygalacturonase. Of the four E. chrysanthemi pectinases, Ogl was the only enzyme able to cleave digalacturonate, whereas all four enzymes cleaved trigalacturonate. Ogl does not cleave monomethyl-esterified digalacturonate and trigalacturonate in case the second galacturonic acid residue from the reducing end is methyl-esterified. PehX did not hydrolyze any of the monomethyl-esterified trigalacturonates. The two lyases, PelX and PelW, were both only able to cleave 1-methyltrigalacturonate into Delta4,5-unsaturated 1-methyldigalacturonate and galacturonate. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of extracellular pectate lyase from Bacillus subtilis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Bacillus subtilis strain SO113 secretes a pectate lyase which is produced during the exponential death phase of growth, just before sporulation. This extracellular pectate lyase, which produces unsaturated products from polygalacturonate, was purified 35-fold from the culture supernatant of Bacillus subtilis by a CM Sephadex chromatography. It has an isoelectric point of about 9.6 and an Mr of 42,000. Optimum activity occurred at pH 8.4 and at 42 degrees C. Calcium has a stimulative effect on the enzyme activity while EDTA leads to enzyme inactivation. The pectate lyase has a specific activity of 131 mumol of aldehyde groups per min and per mg of protein. The Km of the purified enzyme for polygalacturonic acid was 0.862 g.l-1 and the Vmax for polygalacturonic acid hydrolysis was 1.475 mumol of unsaturated products per min and per mg of protein. By using monoclonal antibodies raised against Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 pectate lyases, it was shown that pectate lyases b and c of this strain are immunologically closely related to the Bacillus subtilis pectate lyase. 相似文献

The pelC gene, which encodes one of the five major pectate lyase (PL) isoenzymes in Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937, designated PLc, was subcloned from a hybrid lambda phage into a pBR322 derivative and mutagenized with a mini-Mu-lacZ transposable element able to form fusions to the lacZ gene. One plasmid (pAD1) which had an inactivated pelC gene and a Lac+ phenotype was selected in Escherichia coli. This plasmid was introduced into Erwinia chrysanthemi, and the pelC::mini-Mu insertion was substituted for the chromosomal allele by homologous recombination. This strain lacks the PLc isoenzyme. This Erwinia chrysanthemi strain has a Lac+ phenotype that is inducible by polygalacturonate, as are the wild-type PL activities. 相似文献

Processing of the pectate lyase PelI by extracellular proteases of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Erwinia chrysanthemi causes soft rot on various plants. The maceration of plant tissues is mainly due to the action of endopectate lyases. The E. chrysanthemi strain 3937 produces eight endopectate lyases (PelA, PelB, PelC, PelD, PelE, PelI, PelL and PelZ) that are secreted by the Out pathway. The necrotic response elicited by the wild-type E. chrysanthemi strain on tobacco leaves is due to an extracellular protein secreted by the Out machinery. Purification of the active factor revealed that it corresponds to a pectate lyase presenting immunological cross-reaction with PelI. Analysis of pelI and out mutants indicated that the necrosis-inducing pectate lyase results from a post-translational modification of PelI occurring extracellularly both in culture media and in planta . This modification consists of the cleavage of 97 N-terminal amino acids by the extracellular proteases of E. chrysanthemi . The enzymatic properties of the maturated form, PelI-3, are not, or only weakly, modified. However, this maturation gives rise to a small size and basic form that is active as a defence elicitor in plants. 相似文献

The pelB gene, which encodes one of the five pectate lyase isoenzymes of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937, was mutagenized with a mini-Mu transposable element that can form gene fusions to the neomycin phosphotransferase-encoding region. Secondary mutants resistant to kanamycin in the absence of polygalacturonate, an inducer of wild-type pectate lyase activities, were selected. Such mutants produced other pectate lyase isoenzymes in the absence of the inducer. 相似文献

The "family 9 polysaccharide lyase" pectate lyase L (Pel9A) from Erwinia chrysanthemi comprises a 10-coil parallel beta-helix domain with distinct structural features including an asparagine ladder and aromatic stack at novel positions within the superhelical structure. Pel9A has a single high affinity calcium-binding site strikingly similar to the "primary" calcium-binding site described previously for the family Pel1A pectate lyases, and there is strong evidence for a common second calcium ion that binds between enzyme and substrate in the "Michaelis" complex. Although the primary calcium ion binds substrate in subsite -1, it is the second calcium ion, whose binding site is formed by the coming together of enzyme and substrate, that facilitates abstraction of the C5 proton from the sacharride in subsite +1. The role of the second calcium is to withdraw electrons from the C6 carboxylate of the substrate, thereby acidifying the C5 proton facilitating its abstraction and resulting in an E1cb-like anti-beta-elimination mechanism. The active site geometries and mechanism of Pel1A and Pel9A are closely similar, but the catalytic base is a lysine in the Pel9A enzymes as opposed to an arginine in the Pel1A enzymes. 相似文献

Mutants of Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16 deficient in the polygalacturonate catabolic enzymes oligogalacturonate lyase (Ogl-) and 3-deoxy-D-glycero-2,5-hexodiulosonate (ketodeoxyuronate) dehydrogenase (KduD-) were obtained by Tn5 mutagenesis using the R plasmid pJB4JI. Ogl- Exu+ (Exu+, D-galacturonate utilization) and KduD- Exu- strains macerated potato tuber tissue and utilized glucose, glycerol, and gluconate, but they did not utilize polygalacturonate, unsaturated digalacturonate, or saturated digalacturonate. Genetic and physical evidence indicated that the Ogl- mutants and a KduD- recombinant contained a single copy of Tn5 and that Tn5 (Kmr) was linked to the mutant phenotypes. In the Ogl+ parents, basal levels of oligogalacturonate lyase were present in glycerol-grown cells and induced levels were present with saturated or unsaturated digalacturonate, while oligogalacturonate lyase was undetectable under similar conditions in Ogl- strains. Pectate lyase, polygalacturonase, and ketodeoxyuronate dehydrogenase were induced in an Ogl- strain by 3-deoxy-D-glycero-2,5-hexodiulosonate and by the enzymatic products of unsaturated digalacturonate but not by the digalacturonates. The KduD- strains lacked the dehydrogenase activity but in the presence of the digalacturonates produced higher levels of pectate lyase, polygalacturonase, and oligogalacturonate lyase than the KduD+ parents did. In the KduD- strains, pectate lyase and oligogalacturonate lyase were induced by unsaturated digalacturonate in a "gratuitous" manner, suggesting an intracellular accumulation of the inducer(s). We conclude that an intermediate(s) of the ketodeoxyuronate pathway induces pectate lyase, polygalacturonase, oligogalacturonate lyase, and ketodeoxyuronate dehydrogenase in E. chrysanthemi. 相似文献

Pectin methylesterase A (EC 3.1.1.11), one of the pathogenicity factors of Erwinia chrysanthemi strain 3937, was purified to homogeneity using one-step chromatography on cross-linked pectate. The purified protein showed maximum activity at pH 8-9, 50 degrees C, 50-100 mM monovalent cations or 5-10 mM divalent cations, and on a 50% esterified pectin. A particular effect of Ca2+ and Zn2+ on PMEA activity, due to the formation of a pectin gel, was observed. A Km value of 0.03% and 0.051% was determined at pH 6 and 7.6, respectively, using the same substrate. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the PMEA from E. chrysanthemi strain 3937 were produced. It recognized PMEs from Erwinia species, but did not cross-react with PME of fungal or plant origin, and will therefore be a useful tool to immunolocalize the protein during plant-pathogen interactions. 相似文献

Many taxonomically diverse plant species are attacked by Erwinia chrysanthemi, a member of the causal agents of soft-rotting diseases. Symptom development is due to the collective action of pectin-degrading enzymes secreted by the bacterium through a type II secretion system (T2SS). Using Arabidopsis thaliana as a susceptible host, we show that plants respond to E. chrysanthemi 3937 by expressing cell-wall reactions, production of an oxidative burst, and activation of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) or ethylene (ET) signaling pathways. We found that the oxidative burst is mainly generated via the expression of the AtrbohD gene, constitutes a barrier of resistance to bacterial attack, and acts independently of the SA-mediated response. To determine the importance of T2SS-secreted proteins in elicitation of these defenses, we used a T2SS deficient mutant and purified enzymatic preparations of representative members of strain 3937 pectate lyase activity. The T2SS-secreted proteins were responsible only partially for the activation of SA and JA or ET signaling pathways observed after infection with the wild-type bacterium and were not involved in the expression of other identified defense reactions. Our study shows the differential role played by pectate lyases isoenzymes in this process and highlights the complexity of the host immune network, which is finely controlled by the bacterium. 相似文献

In Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937, pectate lyase activity mainly results from the cumulative action of five major isoenzymes, PelA to PelE. Comparison of their amino acid sequences revealed two families, PelB-C and PelA-D-E. Molecular cloning permitted expression of the different pel genes in Escherichia coli and the isolation of each Pel independently from the other isoenzymes. We used similar experimental conditions to overproduce and purify the five Pels in a one-step chromatography method. We analyzed some of the basic enzymatic properties of these five isoenzymes. PelA has a low specific activity compared to the other four enzymes. PelB and PelC have a high affinity for their substrate: about 10-fold higher than the enzymes of the PelA-D-E group. The optimum pH is more alkaline for PelB and PelC (about 9.2) than for PelA, PelD, and PelE (from 8 to 8.8). Below pH 7, activity was negligible for PelB and PelC, while PelA, PelD, and PelE retained 25 to 30% of their activities. The temperature optima were determined to be 50 degrees C for PelD and PelE, 55 degrees C for PelA, and 60 degrees C for PelB and PelC. Enzymes of the PelB-C group are more stable than those of the PelA-D-E group. Use of substrates presenting various degrees of methylation revealed that PelA, PelD, and PelE are active only for very low levels of methylation, while PelB and PelC are more active on partially methylated pectins (up to 22% for PelC and up to 45% for PelB). Pectate lyases have an absolute requirement for Ca2+ ions. For the five isoenzymes, maximal activity was obtained at a Ca2+ concentration of 0.1 mM. None of the tested cations (Ba2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Sr2+, Zn2+) can substitute for Ca2+. At a high concentration (1 mM), most of the divalent cations inhibited pectate lyase activity. In addition, we demonstrated that two compounds present in plant tissues, epicatechin and salicylic acid, inhibit the pectate lyases at a concentration of 0.2 mM. 相似文献

The gene for a pectate lyase of E. chrysanthemi ENA49 cloned in a recombinant plasmid pPTL1 (a derivative of RSF1010) was transferred into E. carotovora. The pectate lyase determined by the cloned gene was secreted into the cultural medium from the cells of E. crysanthemi EC16. Partial secretion of the enzyme was registered for E. carotovora cells. The major part of EC1 E. chrysanthemi pectate lyase synthesized by E. carotovora cells is accumulated in periplasmic and cytoplasmic fractions. The obtained results suggest the different specificity or efficiency of pectate lyase secretion systems in the studied Erwinia strains. 相似文献

Strains Paenibacillus sp. BP-23 and Bacillus sp. BP-7, previously isolated from soil from a rice field, secreted high levels of pectinase activity in media supplemented with pectin. Production of pectinases in strain Paenibacillus sp. BP-23 showed catabolite repression, while in Bacillus sp. BP-7 production of pectin degrading enzymes was not negatively affected by glucose. The two strains showed lyase activities as the predominant pectinases, while hydrolase activity was very low. Analysis of Paenibacillus sp. BP-23 in SDS–polyacrylamide gels and zymograms showed five pectinase activity bands. The strict requirement of Ca2+ for lyase activity of the strain indicates that correspond to pectate lyases. For Bacillus sp. BP-7, zymograms showed four bands of different size. The strain showed a Ca2+ requirement for lyase activity on pectate but not on pectin, indicating that the pectinolytic system of Bacillus sp. BP-7 is comprised of pectate lyases and pectin lyases. The results show differences in pectin degrading systems between the two aerobic sporogenous bacterial strains studied. 相似文献

The ability of the enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi to induce pathogenesis in plant tissue is strongly related to the massive production of plant-cell-wall-degrading enzymes (pectinases, cellulases, and proteases). Additional factors, including flagellar proteins and exopolysaccharides (EPS), also are required for the efficient colonization of plants. Production of these virulence factors, particularly pectate lyases, the main virulence determinant, is tightly regulated by environmental conditions. The possible involvement of the protein H-NS in this process was investigated. The E. chrysanthemi hns gene was cloned by complementation of an Escherichia coli hns mutation. Its nucleotide sequence contains a 405-bp open reading frame that codes for a protein with 85% identity to the E. coli H-NS protein. An E. chrysanthemi hns mutant was constructed by reverse genetics. This mutant displays a reduced growth rate and motility but an increased EPS synthesis and sensitivity toward high osmolarity. Furthermore, pectate lyase production is dramatically reduced in this mutant. The hns mutation acts on at least two conditions affecting pectate lyase synthesis: induction of pectate lyase synthesis at low temperatures (25 degrees C) is no longer observed in the hns mutant and induction of pectate lyase production occurs in the late stationary growth phase in the hns background, instead of in the late exponential growth phase as it does in the parental strain. Moreover, the E. chrysanthemi hns mutant displays reduced virulence on plants. Taken together, these data suggest that H-NS plays a crucial role in the expression of the virulence genes and in the pathogenicity of E. chrysanthemi. 相似文献

Characterization of pectin methylesterase B, an outer membrane lipoprotein of Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Vladimir E. Shevchik Guy Condemine Nicole Hugouvieux-Cotte-Pattat & Janine Robert-Baudouy 《Molecular microbiology》1996,19(3):455-466
The secretion of extracellular pectinases, among which there are least six isoenzymes of pectate lyase and one pectin methylesterase, allows the phytopathogenic bacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi to degrade pectin. A gene coding for a novel pectin methylesterase has been cloned from an E. chrysanthemi strain 3937 gene library. This gene, pemB , codes for a 433-amino-acid protein. The PemB N-terminal region has the characteristics of lipoprotein signal sequences. We have shown that the PemB precursor is processed and that palmitate is incorporated into the mature protein. The PemB lipoprotein is not released into the extracellular medium and is localized in the outer membrane. The PemB sequence presents homology with other pectin methylesterases from bacterial and plant origin. pemB -like proteins were detected in four other E. chrysanthemi strains but not in Erwinia carotovora strains. PemB was overproduced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. PemB activity is strongly increased by non-ionic detergents. The enzyme is more active on methylated oligogalacturonides than on pectin, and it is necessary for the growth of the bacteria on oligomeric substrates. PemB is more probably involved in the degradation of methylated oligogalacturonides present in the periplasm of the bacteria, rather than in a direct action on extracellular pectin. pemB expression is inducible in the presence of pectin and is controlled by the negative regulator KdgR. 相似文献

The pelA gene from Erwinia chrysanthemi strain 3937, which encodes the acidic pectate lyase, PLa, has been sequenced and characterized. The structural gene consists of a 1179 bp open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 41,555 Da, which includes an N-terminal signal peptide. The deduced amino acid sequence shows a protein very similar to some PLs already sequenced. Cloning of the pelA gene behind the lacZ promoter of the vector pTZ19R allowed overexpression of PLa into a derivative of strain 3937 deleted of the other pel genes. The mature protein was obtained in milligram amounts from the supernatant of this strain and at homogeneous purity after two purification steps. Its biochemical properties were similar to those of other PLs. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the purified PLa cross-reacted with the basic pectate lyase PLd, but not with PLe. The role of PLa in pathogenicity is discussed. 相似文献

Pectate lyases are plant virulence factors that degrade the pectate component of the plant cell wall. The enzymes share considerable sequence homology with plant pollen and style proteins, suggesting a shared structural topology and possibly functional relationships as well. The three-dimensional structures of two Erwinia chrysanthemi pectate lyases, C and E, have been superimposed and the structurally conserved amino acids have been identified. There are 232 amino acids that superimpose with a root-mean-square deviation of 3 A or less. These amino acids have been used to correct the primary sequence alignment derived from evolution-based techniques. Subsequently, multiple alignment techniques have allowed the realignment of other extracellular pectate lyases as well as all sequence homologs, including pectin lyases and the plant pollen and style proteins. The new multiple sequence alignment reveals amino acids likely to participate in the parallel beta helix motif, those involved in binding Ca2+, and those invariant amino acids with potential catalytic properties. The latter amino acids cluster in two well-separated regions on the pectate lyase structures, suggesting two distinct enzymatic functions for extracellular pectate lyases and their sequence homologs. 相似文献
