Coprophilous and litter-decomposing species (26 strains) of the genus Coprinus were screened for peroxidase activities by using selective agar plate tests and complex media based on soybean meal. Two species, Coprinus radians and C. verticillatus, were found to produce peroxidases, which oxidized aryl alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes at pH 7 (a reaction that is typical for heme-thiolate haloperoxidases). The peroxidase of Coprinus radians was purified to homogeneity and characterized. Three fractions of the enzyme, CrP I, CrP II, and CrP III, with molecular masses of 43 to 45 kDa as well as isoelectric points between 3.8 and 4.2, were identified after purification by anion-exchange and size exclusion chromatography. The optimum pH of the major fraction (CrP II) for the oxidation of aryl alcohols was around 7, and an H2O2 concentration of 0.7 mM was most suitable regarding enzyme activity and stability. The apparent Km values for ABTS [2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazolinesulfonic acid)], 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, benzyl alcohol, veratryl alcohol, and H2O2 were 49, 342, 635, 88, and 1,201 μM, respectively. The N terminus of CrP II showed 29% and 19% sequence identity to Agrocybe aegerita peroxidase (AaP) and chloroperoxidase, respectively. The UV-visible spectrum of CrP II was highly similar to that of resting-state cytochrome P450 enzymes, with the Soret band at 422 nm and additional maxima at 359, 542, and 571 nm. The reduced carbon monoxide complex showed an absorption maximum at 446 nm, which is characteristic of heme-thiolate proteins. CrP brominated phenol to 2- and 4-bromophenols and selectively hydroxylated naphthalene to 1-naphthol. Hence, after AaP, CrP is the second extracellular haloperoxidase-peroxygenase described so far. The ability to extracellularly hydroxylate aromatic compounds seems to be the key catalytic property of CrP and may be of general significance for the biotransformation of poorly available aromatic substances, such as lignin, humus, and organopollutants in soil litter and dung environments. Furthermore, aromatic peroxygenation is a promising target of biotechnological studies. 相似文献

Agrocybe aegerita, a bark mulch- and wood-colonizing basidiomycete, was found to produce a peroxidase (AaP) that oxidizes aryl alcohols, such as veratryl and benzyl alcohols, into the corresponding aldehydes and then into benzoic acids. The enzyme also catalyzed the oxidation of typical peroxidase substrates, such as 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP) or 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). A. aegerita peroxidase production depended on the concentration of organic nitrogen in the medium, and highest enzyme levels were detected in the presence of soybean meal. Two fractions of the enzyme, AaP I and AaP II, which had identical molecular masses (46 kDa) and isoelectric points of 4.6 to 5.4 and 4.9 to 5.6, respectively (corresponding to six different isoforms), were identified after several steps of purification, including anion- and cation-exchange chromatography. The optimum pH for the oxidation of aryl alcohols was found to be around 7, and the enzyme required relatively high concentrations of H(2)O(2) (2 mM) for optimum activity. The apparent K(m) values for ABTS, DMP, benzyl alcohol, veratryl alcohol, and H(2)O(2) were 37, 298, 1,001, 2,367 and 1,313 microM, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the main AaP II spots blotted after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis were almost identical and exhibited almost no homology to the sequences of other peroxidases from basidiomycetes, but they shared the first three amino acids, as well as two additional amino acids, with the heme chloroperoxidase (CPO) from the ascomycete Caldariomyces fumago. This finding is consistent with the fact that AaP halogenates monochlorodimedone, the specific substrate of CPO. The existence of haloperoxidases in basidiomycetous fungi may be of general significance for the natural formation of chlorinated organic compounds in forest soils. 相似文献

The mushroom Agrocybe aegerita secretes a peroxidase (AaP) that catalyzes halogenations and hydroxylations. Phenol was brominated to 2- and 4-bromophenol (ratio 1:4) and chlorinated to a lesser extent to 2-chlorophenol. The purified enzyme was found to oxidize toluene via benzyl alcohol and benzaldehyde into benzoic acid. A second fraction of toluene was hydroxylated to give p-cresol as well as o-cresol and methyl-p-benzoquinone. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of purified AaP showed high similarity to a resting state cytochrome P450 with the Soret band at 420 nm and additional maxima at 278, 358, 541 and 571 nm; the AaP CO-complex had a distinct absorption maximum at 445 nm that is characteristic for heme-thiolate proteins. AaP regioselectively hydroxylated naphthalene to 1-naphthol and traces of 2-naphthol (ratio 36:1). H2O2 was necessarily required for AaP function and hence the hydroxylations catalyzed by AaP can be designated as peroxygenation and the enzyme as an extracellular peroxygenase. 相似文献

The aim of this work has been to study the substrate specificity of two aromatic peroxygenases concerning polyaromatic compounds
of different size and structure as well as to identify the key metabolites of their oxidation. Thus, we report here on new
pathways and reactions for 2-methylnaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, dibenzofuran, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene and
pyrene catalyzed by peroxygenases from Agrocybe aegerita and Coprinellus radians (abbreviated as AaP and CrP). AaP hydroxylated the aromatic rings of all substrates tested at different positions, whereas
CrP showed a limited capacity for aromatic ring-hydroxylation and did not hydroxylate phenanthrene but preferably oxygenated
fluorene at the non-aromatic C9-carbon and methylnaphthalenes at the side chain. The results demonstrate for the first time the broad substrate specificity
of fungal peroxygenases for polyaromatic compounds, and they are discussed in terms of their biocatalytic and environmental
implications. 相似文献

Agrocybe aegerita peroxidase (AaP) is a versatile heme-thiolate protein that can act as a peroxygenase and catalyzes, among other reactions,
the hydroxylation of aromatic rings. This paper reports a rapid and selective spectrophotometric method for directly detecting
aromatic hydroxylation by AaP. The weakly activated aromatic compound naphthalene served as the substrate that was regioselectively
converted into 1-naphthol in the presence of the co-substrate hydrogen peroxide. Formation of 1-naphthol was followed at 303 nm
(ɛ
303 = 2,010 M−1 cm−1), and the apparent Michaelis–Menten (K
m) and catalytic (k
cat) constants for the reaction were estimated to be 320 μM and 166 s−1, respectively. This method will be useful in screening of fungi and other microorganisms for extracellular peroxygenase activities
and in comparing and assessing different catalytic activities of haloperoxidase–peroxygenases. 相似文献

Aryl alcohols in the physiology of ligninolytic fungi 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Abstract: White-rot fungi have a versatile machinery of enzymes which work in harmony with secondary aryl alcohol metabolites to degrade the recalcitrant, aromatic biopolymer lignin. This review will focus on the important physiological roles of aryl (veratryl, anisyl and chlorinated anisyl) alcohols in the ligninolytic enzyme system. Their functions include stabilization of lignin peroxidase, charge-transfer reactions and as substrate for oxidases generating extracellular H2 02 . The aryl alcohol/aldehyde couple is well protected against degradation by the fungi's extracellular ligninolytic enzymes and their concentrations in the extracellular fluid are highly regulated by intracellular enzymes. 相似文献

Spectroscopic and kinetic properties of the oxidized intermediates of lignin peroxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Stopped-flow rapid scan techniques were used to obtain a spectrum of nearly homogeneous lignin peroxidase compound I (LiPI) under pseudo-first order conditions at the unusually low pH optimum (3.0) for the enzyme. The LiPI spectrum had a Soret band at 407 nm with approximately 60% reduced intensity and a visible maximum at 650 nm. Under steady-state conditions a Soret spectrum for lignin peroxidase compound II (LiPII) was also obtained. The Soret maximum of LiPII at 420 nm was only approximately 15% reduced in intensity compared to native LiP. Transient state kinetic results confirmed the pH independence of LiPI formation over the pH range 3.06-7.39. The rate constant was (6.5 +/- 0.2) x 10(5) M-1 S-1. Addition of excess veratryl alcohol to LiPI resulted in its reduction to LiPII with subsequent reduction of LiPII to the native enzyme. Reactions of LiPI and LiPII with veratryl alcohol exhibited marked pH dependencies. For the LiPI reaction the rate constants ranged from 2.5 x 10(6) M-1 S-1 at pH 3.06 to 4.1 x 10(3) M-1 S-1 at pH 7.39; for the LiPII reaction, 1.6 x 10(5) M-1 S-1 (pH 3.06) to 2.3 x 10(3) M-1 S-1 (pH 5.16). These single turnover experiments demonstrate directly that the pH dependence of these reactions dictates the overall pH dependence of this novel enzyme. These results are consistent with the one-electron oxidation of veratryl alcohol to an aryl cation radical by LiPI and by LiPII. 相似文献

Heme-thiolate haloperoxidases are undoubtedly the most versatile biocatalysts of the hemeprotein family and share catalytic properties with at least three further classes of heme-containing oxidoreductases, namely, classic plant and fungal peroxidases, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, and catalases. For a long time, only one enzyme of this type—the chloroperoxidase (CPO) of the ascomycete Caldariomyces fumago—has been known. The enzyme is commercially available as a fine chemical and catalyzes the unspecific chlorination, bromination, and iodation (but no fluorination) of a variety of electrophilic organic substrates via hypohalous acid as actual halogenating agent. In the absence of halide, CPO resembles cytochrome P450s and epoxidizes and hydroxylates activated substrates such as organic sulfides and olefins; aromatic rings, however, are not susceptible to CPO-catalyzed oxygen-transfer. Recently, a second fungal haloperoxidase of the heme-thiolate type has been discovered in the agaric mushroom Agrocybe aegerita. The UV–Vis adsorption spectrum of the isolated enzyme shows little similarity to that of CPO but is almost identical to a resting-state P450. The Agrocybe aegerita peroxidase (AaP) has strong brominating as well as weak chlorinating and iodating activities, and catalyzes both benzylic and aromatic hydroxylations (e.g., of toluene and naphthalene). AaP and related fungal peroxidases could become promising biocatalysts in biotechnological applications because they seemingly fill the gap between CPO and P450 enzymes and act as “self-sufficient” peroxygenases. From the environmental point of view, the existence of a halogenating mushroom enzyme is interesting because it could be linked to the multitude of halogenated compounds known from these organisms. 相似文献

Purification, characterization and evaluation of extracellular peroxidase from two Coprinus species for aqueous phenol treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Non-ligninolytic fungal peroxidases produced by Coprinus cinereus UAMH 4103 and Coprinus sp. UAMH 10067 were purified, characterized and evaluated as cost-effective alternatives to horseradish peroxidase for aqueous phenol treatment. Purified Coprinus peroxidases exhibited a molecular weight of 36 kDa on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Although the catalytic properties of the two Coprinus peroxidases were nearly identical in both crude and purified forms, the stabilities were substantially different. The peroxidase from Coprinus sp. UAMH 10067 was more stable at 50 degrees C and under basic conditions (up to pH 10) than the enzyme from C. cinereus UAMH 4103. The former enzyme also performed better at pH 9 than the latter one in aqueous phenol treatment. The phenol removal efficiency of the Coprinus peroxidase was comparable to those of previously studied plant peroxidases. The broader working pH and higher thermal and alkaline stability of the peroxidase from Coprinus sp. UAMH 10067 may be advantageous for its application to industrial wastewater treatment. 相似文献

Agrocybe aegerita peroxidase (AaP) is a versatile extracellular biocatalyst that can oxygenate aromatic compounds. Here, we report on the selective oxidation of pyridine (PY) yielding pyridine N-oxide as sole product. Using H218O2 as co-substrate, the origin of oxygen was confirmed to be the peroxide. Therefore, AaP can be regarded as a true peroxygenase transferring one oxygen atom from peroxide to the substrate. To our best knowledge, there are only two types of enzymes oxidizing PY at the nitrogen: bacterial methane monooxygenase and a few P450 monooxygenases. AaP is the first extracellular enzyme and the first peroxidase that catalyzes this reaction, and it converted also substituted PYs into the corresponding N-oxides. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance spectral characterization of the heme active site of Coprinus cinereus peroxidase
Examination of the peroxidase isolated from the inkcap Basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus shows that the 42,000-dalton enzyme contains a protoheme IX prosthetic group. Reactivity assays and the electronic absorption spectra of native Coprinus peroxidase and several of its ligand complexes indicate that this enzyme has characteristics similar to those reported for horseradish peroxidase. In this paper, we characterize the H2O2-oxidized forms of Coprinus peroxidase compounds I, II, and III by electronic absorption and magnetic resonance spectroscopies. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of this Coprinus peroxidase indicate the presence of high-spin Fe(III) in the native protein and a number of differences between the heme site of Coprinus peroxidase and horseradish peroxidase. Carbon-13 (of the ferrous CO adduct) and nitrogen-15 (of the cyanide complex) NMR studies together with proton NMR studies of the native and cyanide-complexed Coprinus peroxidase are consistent with coordination of a proximal histidine ligand. The EPR spectrum of the ferrous NO complex is also reported. Protein reconstitution with deuterated hemin has facilitated the assignment of the heme methyl resonances in the proton NMR spectrum. 相似文献

We purified two isozymes of coniferyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CADH I and II) to homogeneity from cell-free extracts of Streptomyces sp. NL15-2K. The apparent molecular masses of CADH I and II were determined to be 143 kDa and 151 kDa respectively by gel filtration, whereas their subunit molecular masses were determined to be 35,782.2 Da and 37,597.7 Da respectively by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Thus, it is probable that both isozymes are tetramers. The optimum pH and temperature for coniferyl alcohol dehydrogenase activity were pH 9.5 and 45 °C for CADH I and pH 8.5 and 40 °C for CADH II. CADH I oxidized various aromatic alcohols and allyl alcohol, and was most efficient on cinnamyl alcohol, whereas CADH II exhibited high substrate specificity for coniferyl alcohol, and showed no activity as to the other alcohols, except for cinnamyl alcohol and 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol. In the presence of NADH, CADH I and II reduced cinnamaldehyde and coniferyl aldehyde respectively to the corresponding alcohols. 相似文献

The gene xylBADP1 from Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 (gene annotation number ACIAD1578), coding for a putative aryl alcohol dehydrogenase, was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The respective aryl alcohol dehydrogenase was purified by fast protein liquid chromatography to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity. The predicted molecular weight of 39,500 per subunit was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. According to the native Mw as determined by gel filtration, the enzyme forms dimers and therefore seems to be XylB related. The enzyme showed the highest activity at 40°C. For both the reduction and the oxidation reactions, the pH for optimum activity was 6.5. The enzyme was NADH dependent and able to reduce medium- to long-chain n-alkylaldehydes, methyl-branched aldehydes, and aromatic aldehydes, with benzaldehyde yielding the highest activity. The oxidation reaction with the corresponding alcohols showed only 2.2% of the reduction activity, with coniferyl alcohol yielding the highest activity. Maximum activities for the reduction and the oxidation reaction were 104.5 and 2.3 U mg−1 of protein, respectively. The enzyme activity was affected by low concentrations of Ag+ and Hg2+ and high concentrations of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+. The gene xylBADP1 seems to be expressed constitutively and an involvement in coniferyl alcohol degradation is suggested. However, the enzyme is most probably not involved in the degradation of benzyl alcohol, anisalcohol, salicyl alcohol, vanillyl alcohol, cinnamyl alcohol, or aliphatic and isoprenoid alcohols. 相似文献

The quantitative relationships between removal efficiency of phenol and reaction conditions were investigated using Coprinus cinereus peroxidase. The most effective ratio of hydrogen peroxide to phenol was nearly 1/1 (mol/mol) at an adequate enzyme dose. 12.2 U of the enzyme was needed to remove 1 mg of phenol when our peroxidase preparation was used. At an insufficient peroxidase dose, the optimum pH value was 9.0, and lowering the reaction temperature led to the improvement of removal efficiency. At an excess peroxidase dose, almost 100% removal of phenol was obtained over a wide range of pH (5-9) and temperature (0-60 degrees C). Despite the presence of culture medium components, it was shown that Coprinus cinereus peroxidase had the same phenol polymerization performance as horseradish peroxidase or Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase. 相似文献

NAD-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activity was detected in cell-free crude extracts from various propane-grown bacteria. Two NAD-linked alcohol dehydrogenases, one which preferred primary alcohols (alcohol dehydrogenase I) and another which preferred secondary alcohols (alcohol dehydrogenase II), were found in propane-grown Pseudomonas fluorescens NRRL B-1244 and were separated from each other by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The properties of alcohol dehydrogenase I resembled those of well-known primary alcohol dehydrogenases. Alcohol dehydrogenase II was purified 46-fold; it was homogeneous as judged by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of this secondary alcohol dehydrogenase is 144,500; it consisted of four subunits per molecule of enzyme protein. It oxidized secondary alcohols, notably, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, and 2-pentanol. Primary alcohols and diols were also oxidized, but at a lower rate. Alcohols with more than six carbon atoms were not oxidized. The pH and temperature optima for secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity were 8 to 9 and 60 to 70 degrees C, respectively. The activation energy calculated from an Arrhenius plot was 8.2 kcal (ca. 34 kJ). The Km values at 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, were 8.2 X 10(-6) M for NAD and 8.5 X 10(-5) M for 2-propanol. The secondary alcohol dehydrogenase activity was inhibited by strong thiol reagents and strong metal-chelating agents such as 4-hydroxymercuribenzoate, 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline, and 1,10-phenanthroline. The enzyme oxidized the stereoisomers of 2-butanol at an equal rate. Alcohol dehydrogenase II had good thermal stability and the ability to catalyze reactions at high temperature (85 degrees C). It appears to have properties distinct from those of previously described primary and secondary alcohol dehydrogenases. 相似文献

The fast-moving anionic peroxidase isoenzyme variant PRXa was purified from leaves of petunia (Petunia hybrida). Over 1300-fold purification was achieved by subjecting extracellular extracts to two sequential acetone precipitations and resuspending the pellets at pH 5.0 and pH 8.0, respectively, followed by gel filtration and chromatofocusing. The purified enzyme had an absorbance ratio (A405 nm/A280 nm) of 3.6, a molecular mass of about 37 kDa and a pI of 3.8. Three molecular forms with slightly different molecular masses were separated by concanavalin-A--Sepharose affinity chromatography, indicating that these three forms differ in their carbohydrate moieties. The absorption spectrum of PRXa had maxima at 496 and 636 nm and a Soret band at 405 nm. Spectra of compounds I and IV were obtained by titrating a batch of PRXa stored for several months at -20 degrees C with H2O2. The addition of 1 mol H2O2/mol freshly purified PRXa caused the formation of compound II, indicating that freshly isolated PRXa contains a bound hydrogen donor which is lost upon storage. Compound III was obtained from both preparations in the presence of excess H2O2. The pH optimum of PRXa for the reaction with H2O2 and guaiacol was 5.0 and its specific activity 61 mkat/g protein. Among various aromatic compounds, coniferyl alcohol was polymerized by PRXa to presumed lignin-like material. The extracellular localization and high affinity of PRXa for the cinnamic acid derivatives suggest that this isoenzyme functions in the polymerization or cross-linking of lignin in the plant cell wall. 相似文献

An enzyme which degraded polyvinyl alcohol, a water-soluble synthetic polymer, was isolated as a single protein from a culture of a strain of Pseudomonas. The pink-colored enzyme had absorption maxima at 280, 370, and 480 nm, a molecular weight of about 30,000, and an isoelectric point at about pH 10.3. The enzyme was most active at pH values from 7 to 9 and at 40 dgC and was stable at pH values from 3.5 to 9.5 and at temperatures below 45 dgC. The viscosity of the reaction mixture decreased and the pH dropped when the enzyme acted on polyvinyl alcohol as a substrate. Furthermore, the enzyme required O2 for the reaction and produced 1 mol of H2O2, per 1 mol of O2 consumed. The molecules of polyvinyl alcohol were cleaved into small fragments with a wide distribution of molecular weights. Inorganic Hg ions markedly inactivated the enzyme, and the activity was immediately recovered by glutathione. Enzyme inhibitors tested, which included p-chloromercuribenzoic acid, KCN, o-phenanthroline, and H2O2, showed no effect on the activity. Polyvinyl alcohol oxidized by periodic acid was similarly oxidized by the enzyme. The enzyme did not oxidize most of a variety of low molecular weight hydroxy compounds examined, such as primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, diols, triols, and polyols, except for some secondary alcohols, such as 4-heptanol. 相似文献
