Cloning and Expression of the Inositol Monophosphatase Gene from Methanococcus jannaschii and Characterization of the Enzyme

Inositol monophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.25) plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of di-myo-inositol-1,1′-phosphate, an osmolyte found in hyperthermophilic archaea. Given the sequence homology between the MJ109 gene product of Methanococcus jannaschii and human inositol monophosphatase, the MJ109 gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and examined for inositol monophosphatase activity. The purified MJ109 gene product showed inositol monophosphatase activity with kinetic parameters (K_m = 0.091 ± 0.016 mM; V_max = 9.3 ± 0.45 μmol of P_i min⁻¹ mg of protein⁻¹) comparable to those of mammalian and E. coli enzymes. Its substrate specificity, Mg²⁺ requirement, Li⁺ inhibition, subunit association (dimerization), and heat stability were studied and compared to those of other inositol monophosphatases. The lack of inhibition by low concentrations of Li⁺ and high concentrations of Mg²⁺ and the high rates of hydrolysis of glucose-1-phosphate and p-nitrophenylphosphate are the most pronounced differences between the archaeal inositol monophosphatase and those from other sources. The possible causes of these kinetic differences are discussed, based on the active site sequence alignment between M. jannaschii and human inositol monophosphatase and the crystal structure of the mammalian enzyme.The sole pathway for myo-inositol biosynthesis is the cyclization of glucose-6-phosphate to inositol-1-phosphate (I-1-P) by I-1-P synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) and the dephosphorylation of I-1-P by inositol monophosphatase (I-1-Pase; EC 3.1.3.25) (7–9, 12, 16, 24). This de novo pathway provides the ultimate source of free inositol for the cell. It is also a key enzyme involved in second-message signal transduction processes in mammalian and plant cells (2, 24, 28, 37). In phosphoinositide signaling (2, 37), I-1-Pase recycles the water-soluble phospholipase C phospholipid degradation products, inositol phosphates, to myo-inositol and helps to maintain a moderate inositol pool. Its inhibition by millimolar concentrations of lithium (19) has made it a putative target of lithium therapy for manic depression (34).Di-myo-inositol-1,1′-phosphate (DIP), a novel inositol phosphate compound found in hyperthermophilic archaea, including Pyrococcus woesei (43), Pyrococcus furiosus (41), Methanococcus igneus (11), and Thermotoga maritima (36), is used for osmotic balance at high growth temperatures. In order to understand what regulates its accumulation in cells, the DIP biosynthetic pathway must be well characterized in vitro. Based on ¹³C-labeling studies and assays of crude protein extracts from M. igneus (10), a pathway was proposed that converts glucose-6-phosphate to I-1-P (step 1), hydrolyzes some of the I-1-P to myo-inositol (step 2), and activates I-1-P to CDP-inositol (CDP-I) (step 3) for a final reaction (step 4) whereby CDP-I is coupled to myo-inositol, generating DIP and CMP (Fig. ​(Fig.1).1). Activities for I-1-P synthase, I-1-Pase, and DIP synthase in the DIP biosynthetic pathway have been detected in crude protein extracts of M. igneus (10). Phosphatase activities are ubiquitous in cells, and the observed activity in M. igneus could be due to a specific I-1-Pase activity or a nonspecific phosphatase. For mammalian and plant cells, I-1-Pases are all lithium sensitive and are inhibited at millimolar concentrations of Li⁺ (14, 15, 19, 30, 42). The partially purified phosphatase in M. igneus exhibited substrate specificity for dl-I-1-P over other sugar phosphates (10). It had an absolute requirement for Mg²⁺, a characteristic of all specific I-1-Pases studied thus far, and was also partially inhibited by Li⁺, though at a much higher concentration (160 mM for 50% activity inhibition) than reported for I-1-Pases from other cells. While this was suggestive of a specific I-1-Pase, the same protein fractions demonstrated considerable activity toward p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP), a very poor substrate for mammalian enzymes (1, 14). These preliminary characterizations of phosphatase activity suggested that archaeal I-1-Pases might be different from mammalian and plant enzymes. Open in a separate windowFIG. 1Proposed DIP biosynthetic pathway. Glucose-6-phosphate is converted to I-1-P (step 1), some of which is hydrolyzed to myo-inositol (step 2), and I-1-P is activated to CDP-I (step 3) for a final reaction in which CDP-I is coupled to myo-inositol (step 4), generating DIP and CMP.Methanococcus jannaschii was the first archaeon whose complete genomic sequence was determined (6). Of all the archaea with sequenced genomes, it is the closest to M. igneus. MJ109 encodes a 252-amino-acid protein that is highly homologous to both I-1-Pase and extragenic suppressor (the suhB gene product) (6). The latter gene product cloned in E. coli also has I-1-Pase activity (29). The putative identification of the MJ109 gene product as an I-1-Pase prompted us to express the gene product in E. coli and to examine its specific activity toward a variety of phosphate esters. The protein produced in this fashion clearly has I-1-Pase activity and shows several striking differences from plant and mammalian I-1-Pase activities.

Cloning and Expression of a Phloretin Hydrolase Gene from Eubacterium ramulus and Characterization of the Recombinant Enzyme

Phloretin hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolytic C-C cleavage of phloretin to phloroglucinol and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid during flavonoid degradation in Eubacterium ramulus. The gene encoding the enzyme was cloned by screening a gene library for hydrolase activity. The insert of a clone conferring phloretin hydrolase activity was sequenced. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 822 bp (phy), a putative promoter region, and a terminating stem-loop structure. The deduced amino acid sequence of phy showed similarities to a putative protein of the 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol biosynthetic operon from Pseudomonas fluorescens. The phloretin hydrolase was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was approximately 55 kDa as determined by gel filtration. The results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the deduced amino acid sequence of phy indicated molecular masses of 30 and 30.8 kDa, respectively, suggesting that the enzyme is a homodimer. The recombinant phloretin hydrolase catalyzed the hydrolysis of phloretin to equimolar amounts of phloroglucinol and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid. The optimal temperature and pH of the catalyzed reaction mixture were 37°C and 7.0, respectively. The K_m for phloretin was 13 ± 3 μM and the k_cat was 10 ± 2 s⁻¹. The enzyme did not transform phloretin-2′-glucoside (phloridzin), neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propandione, or trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxy-propan-1-one. The catalytic activity of the phloretin hydrolase was reduced by N-bromosuccinimide, o-phenanthroline, N-ethylmaleimide, and CuCl₂ to 3, 20, 35, and 85%, respectively. Phloroglucinol and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid reduced the activity to 54 and 70%, respectively.     

Purification, Characterization, and Gene Cloning of Purine Nucleosidase from Ochrobactrum anthropi

A bacterium, Ochrobactrum anthropi, produced a large amount of a nucleosidase when cultivated with purine nucleosides. The nucleosidase was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 170,000 and consists of four identical subunits. It specifically catalyzes the irreversible N-riboside hydrolysis of purine nucleosides, the K_m values being 11.8 to 56.3 μM. The optimal activity temperature and pH were 50°C and pH 4.5 to 6.5, respectively. Pyrimidine nucleosides, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, NAD, NADP, and nicotinamide mononucleotide are not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The purine nucleoside hydrolyzing activity of the enzyme was inhibited (mixed inhibition) by pyrimidine nucleosides, with K_i and K_i′ values of 0.455 to 11.2 μM. Metal ion chelators inhibited activity, and the addition of Zn²⁺ or Co²⁺ restored activity. A 1.5-kb DNA fragment, which contains the open reading frame encoding the nucleosidase, was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The deduced 363-amino-acid sequence including a 22-residue leader peptide is in agreement with the enzyme molecular mass and the amino acid sequences of NH₂-terminal and internal peptides, and the enzyme is homologous to known nucleosidases from protozoan parasites. The amino acid residues forming the catalytic site and involved in binding with metal ions are well conserved in these nucleosidases.

A novel phosphodiesterase (PdeA) was purified from Delftia acidovorans, the gene encoding the enzyme was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity and characterized. PdeA is an 85-kDa trimer that exhibits maximal activity at 65°C and pH 10 even though it was isolated from a mesophilic bacterium. Although PdeA exhibited both mono- and diesterase activity, it was most active on the phosphodiester bis(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate with a K_m of 2.9 ± 0.1 mM and a k_cat of 879 ± 73 min⁻¹. The enzyme showed sequence similarity to cyclic AMP (cAMP) phosphodiesterase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and exhibited activity on cAMP in vivo when the gene was expressed in E. coli. The IS1071 transposon insertion sequence was found downstream of pdeA.

Collagenolytic Serine-Carboxyl Proteinase from Alicyclobacillus sendaiensis Strain NTAP-1: Purification, Characterization, Gene Cloning, and Heterologous Expression

Enzymatic degradation of collagen produces peptides, the collagen peptides, which show a variety of bioactivities of industrial interest. Alicyclobacillus sendaiensis strain NTAP-1, a slightly thermophilic, acidophilic bacterium, extracellularly produces a novel thermostable collagenolytic activity, which exhibits its optimum at the acidic region (pH 3.9) and is potentially applicable to the efficient production of such peptides. Here, we describe the purification to homogeneity, characterization, gene cloning, and heterologous expression of this enzyme, which we call ScpA. Purified ScpA is a monomeric, pepstatin-insensitive carboxyl proteinase with a molecular mass of 37 kDa which exhibited the highest reactivity toward collagen (type I, from a bovine Achilles tendon) among the macromolecular substrates examined. On the basis of the sequences of the peptides obtained by digestion of collagen with ScpA, the following synthetic peptides were designed as substrates for ScpA and kinetically analyzed: Phe-Gly-Pro-Ala^*Gly-Pro-Ile-Gly (k_cat, 5.41 s⁻¹; K_m, 32 μM) and Met-Gly-Pro-Arg^*Gly-Phe-Pro-Gly-Ser (k_cat, 351 s⁻¹; K_m, 214 μM), where the asterisks denote the scissile bonds. The cloned scpA gene encoded a protein of 553 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 57,167 Da. Heterologous expression of the scpA gene in the Escherichia coli cells yielded a mature 37-kDa species after a two-step proteolytic cleavage of the precursor protein. Sequencing of the scpA gene revealed that ScpA was a collagenolytic member of the serine-carboxyl proteinase family (the S53 family according to the MEROPS database), which is a recently identified proteinase family on the basis of crystallography results. Unexpectedly, ScpA was highly similar to a member of this family, kumamolysin, whose specificity toward macromolecular substrates has not been defined.

The gene was over-expressed in Escherichia coli and the thiolase was purified with Ni-NTA agarose column to homogeneity. The K _m of this thiolase for acetoacetyl-CoA is 0.13 mM with 0.06 mM CoASH at pH 8.2, 25°C and a V _max value of 46 μmol min⁻¹ mg⁻¹.

Cold-Active Serine Alkaline Protease from the Psychrotrophic Bacterium Shewanella Strain Ac10: Gene Cloning and Enzyme Purification and Characterization

The gene encoding serine alkaline protease (SapSh) of the psychrotrophic bacterium Shewanella strain Ac10 was cloned in Escherichia coli. The amino acid sequence deduced from the 2,442-bp nucleotide sequence revealed that the protein was 814 amino acids long and had an estimated molecular weight of 85,113. SapSh exhibited sequence similarities with members of the subtilisin family of proteases, and there was a high level of conservation in the regions around a putative catalytic triad consisting of Asp-30, His-65, and Ser-369. The amino acid sequence contained the following regions which were assigned on the basis of homology to previously described sequences: a signal peptide (26 residues), a propeptide (117 residues), and an extension up to the C terminus (about 250 residues). Another feature of SapSh is the fact that the space between His-65 and Ser-369 is approximately 150 residues longer than the corresponding spaces in other proteases belonging to the subtilisin family. SapSh was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of E. coli recombinant cells by affinity chromatography with a bacitracin-Sepharose column. The recombinant SapSh (rSapSh) was found to have a molecular weight of about 44,000 and to be highly active in the alkaline region (optimum pH, around 9.0) when azocasein and synthetic peptides were used as substrates. rSapSh was characterized by its high levels of activity at low temperatures; it was five times more active than subtilisin Carlsberg at temperatures ranging from 5 to 15°C. The activation energy for hydrolysis of azocasein by rSapSh was much lower than the activation energy for hydrolysis of azocasein by the subtilisin. However, rSapSh was far less stable than the subtilisin.
