The Alcaligenes xylosoxydans subsp.denitrificans strain TD1 capable of degrading thiodiglycol (TDG), a product of mustard gas hydrolysis, was isolated from soil contaminated with breakdown products of this chemical warfare agent. The selected stable variant of TD1 (strain TD2) can grow on TDG with a lag phase of 4–8 h and a specific growth rate of 0.04–0.045 h–1. Optimal conditions for the biodegradation of TDG (pH, the concentration of TDG in the medium, and specific substrate loading) were determined. TDG was found to be degraded with the formation of diglycolsulfoxide and thiodiglycolic acid as intermediate products. The data obtained can be used to develop approaches to the bioremediation of mustard gas–contaminated soils.  相似文献

Thiodiglycol (TDG) is both the precursor for chemical synthesis of mustard gas and the product of mustard gas hydrolysis. TDG can also react with intermediates of mustard gas degradation to form more toxic and/or persistent aggregates, or reverse the pathway of mustard gas degradation. The persistence of TDG have been observed in soils and in the groundwater at sites contaminated by mustard gas 60 years ago. The biotransformation of TDG has been demonstrated in three soils not previously exposed to the chemical. TDG biotransformation occurred via the oxidative pathway with an optimum rate at pH 8.25. In contrast with bacteria isolated from historically contaminated soil, which could degrade TDG individually, a consortium of three bacterial strains isolated from the soil never contaminated by mustard gas was able to grow on TDG in minimal medium and in hydrolysate derived from an historical mustard gas bomb. Exposure to TDG had little impacts on the soil microbial physiology or on community structure. Therefore, the persistency of TDG in soils historically contaminated by mustard gas might be attributed to the toxicity of mustard gas to microorganisms and the impact to soil chemistry during the hydrolysis. TDG biodegradation may form part of a remediation strategy for mustard gas contaminated sites, and may be enhanced by pH adjustment and aeration.  相似文献

A new strain of Alcaligenes xylosoxydans able to aerobically cometabolize thiodiglycol, the primary hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard, was isolated and tested in a laboratory scale stirred tank reactor. The strain, named PGH10, cannot use TDG as sole carbon and energy source for growth, but resting cells previously grown on either rich broth or defined mineral media efficiently metabolize this compound through [(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]acetic acid and thiodiacetic acid as intermediates. Degradation of TDG by PGH10 is shown to take place at late exponential and stationary phase but is not triggered by carbon exhaustion. Cultures pregrown to saturation for 48 h in the absence of TDG can be stored and used for degradation of TDG, reducing significantly the time required to achieve the reduction of the compound concentration to undetectable levels. Degradation can take place in buffered media with no carbon source added, although best results were obtained in mineral media supplemented with citrate or fructose. Oxidation to [(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]acetic acid and thiodiacetic acid was proposed to be catalyzed by a butanol-dehydrogenase activity. Inhibition of TDG transformation in the presence of several alcohols is also shown.  相似文献

The environmental carcinogen glycidaldehyde (GDA) and therapeutic chloroethylnitrosoureas (CNUs) can form hydroxymethyl etheno and ring-saturated ethano bases, respectively. The mutagenic potential of these adducts relies on their miscoding properties and repair efficiency. In this work, the ability of human thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) to excise 8-(hydroxymethyl)-3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (8-hm-varepsilonC) and 3,N(4)-ethanocytosine (EC) was investigated and compared with varepsilonC, a known substrate for TDG. When tested using defined oligonucleotides containing a single adduct, TDG is able to excise 8-hm-varepsilonC but not EC. The 8-hm-varepsilonC activity mainly depends on guanine pairing with the adduct. TDG removes 8-hm-varepsilonC less efficiently than varepsilonC but its activity can be significantly enhanced by human AP endonuclease 1 (APE1), a downstream enzyme in the base excision repair. TDG did not show any detectable activity toward EC when placed in various neighboring sequences, including the 5'-CpG site. Molecular modeling revealed a possible steric clash between the non-planar EC exocyclic ring and residue Asn 191 within the TDG active site, which could account for the lack of TDG activity toward EC. TDG was not active against the bulkier exocyclic adduct 3,N(4)-benzethenocytosine, nor the two adenine derivatives with same modifications as the cytosine derivatives, 7-hm-varepsilonA and EA. These findings expand the TDG substrate range and aid in understanding the structural requirements for TDG substrate specificity.  相似文献

Aims:  To isolate thiodiglycol (TDG)-degrading bacteria, the mustard gas hydrolysis product, and to characterize the metabolites formed and the enzymes involved in the degradation.
Methods and Results:  Two strains, identified as Achromobacter xylosoxydans G5 and Paracoccus denitrificans E4, isolated from a petroleum-contaminated soil, utilized TDG as sole carbon and sulfur source. During the degradation of TDG by strain E4 [(2-hydroxyethyl)thio] acetic acid (HETA), thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) and bis -(2-hydroxyethyl)disulfide (BHEDS) were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis, while HETA and TDGA were identified for strain G5. Two-dimensional isoelectric focussing-gel electrophoresis (2-D IEF/SDS–PAGE) maps of protein extracts of P. denitrificans E4 grown on TDG showed a spot identified as a methanol dehydrogenase. Increased expression of a putative iscS gene, involved in sulfur assimilation, was observed in TDG-grown cells of A. xylosoxydans G5.
Conclusions:  TDG degradation by P. denitrificans E4 occurred through two pathways: one involved cleavage of the C–S bond of HETA, yielding BHEDS and the other, oxidation of the alcoholic groups of TDG, yielding TDGA. The cleavage of the C–S bond of TDGA gave mercaptoacetic acid, further oxidized to acetate and sulfate.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Increased knowledge of TDG-degrading bacteria and the possibility of using them in a tailored-two-stage mustard gas destruction process.  相似文献

Sulfur mustard is a chemical warfare agent that causes blistering of the skin and damages the eyes and airway after environmental exposure. We have previously reported that thiodiglycol (TDG, 2,2'-bis-thiodiethanol), the hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard, is oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) purified from horse liver or present in mouse liver and human skin cytosol. Humans express four functional classes of ADH composed of several different isozymes, which vary in their tissue distribution, some occurring in skin. To help us evaluate the potential contribution of the various human isozymes toward toxicity in skin and in other tissues, we have compared the catalytic activity of purified human class I alphaalpha-, beta1beta1-, beta2beta2-, and gamma1gamma1-ADH, class II pi-ADH, class III chi-ADH, and class IV sigma-ADH with respect to TDG oxidation and their relative sensitivities to inhibition by pyrazole. Specific activities toward TDG were 123, 79, 347, 647, and 12 nmol/min/mg for the class I alphaalpha-, beta1,beta1-, beta2beta2-, and gamma1gamma1-ADH and class II pi-ADH, respectively. TDG was not a substrate for class III chi-ADH. The specific activity of class IV sigma-ADH was estimated at about 1630 nmol/min/mg. 1 mM pyrazole, a potent inhibitor of class I ADH, inhibited the class I alphaalpha, beta1beta1, beta2beta2, and gamma1gamma1 ADH and class IV sigma-ADH by 83, 100, 56, 90, and 73%, respectively. The class I alphaalpha- and beta1beta1-ADH oxidized TDG with kcat/Km value of 7-8 mM(-1) min(-1), beta2beta2-ADH with a value 19 mM(-1) min(-1) and class I gamma1gamma1-ADH with a value of 176 mM(-1) min(-1). The kcat/Km value for class IV sigma-ADH was estimated at 4 mM(-1) min(-1). The activities of class IV sigma-ADH and class I gamma1gamma1-ADH are of significant interest because of their prevalence in eyes, lungs, stomach, and skin, all target organs of sulfur mustard toxicity.  相似文献

The investigation of the degradation of thiodiglycol (the major product of mustard gas hydrolysis) by Alcaligenes xylosoxydans subsp. denitrificans strain TD2 showed that thiodiglycol is metabolized through the oxidation of its primary alcohol groups and the subsequent cleavage of C-S bonds in the intermediate products, thiodiglycolic and thioglycolic acids. The end products of these reactions are SO4(2-) ions and acetate, the latter being involved in the central metabolism of strain TD2. The oxidation of the sulfur atom gives rise to diglycolsulfoxide, which is recalcitrant to further microbial degradation. Based on the data obtained, a metabolic pathway of thiodiglycol transformation by A. xylosoxydans subsp. denitrificans strain TD2 is proposed.  相似文献

Modification of cellular proteins by the small ubiquitin-like modifier SUMO is important in regulating various cellular events. Many different nuclear proteins are targeted by SUMO, and the functional consequences of this modification are diverse. For most proteins, however, the functional and structural consequences of modification by specific SUMO isomers are unclear. Conjugation of SUMO to thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG) induces the dissociation of TDG from its product DNA. Structure determination of the TDG central region conjugated to SUMO-1 previously suggested a mechanism in which the SUMOylation-induced conformational change in the C-terminal region of TDG releases TDG from tight binding to its product DNA. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of the central region of TDG conjugated to SUMO-3. The overall structure of SUMO-3-conjugated TDG is similar to the previously reported structure of TDG conjugated to SUMO-1, despite the relatively low level of amino acid sequence similarity between SUMO-3 and SUMO-1. The two structures revealed that the sequence of TDG that resembles the SUMO-binding motif (SBM) can form an intermolecular beta-sheet with either SUMO-1 or SUMO-3. Structural comparison with the canonical SBM shows that this SBM-like sequence of TDG retains all of the characteristic interactions of the SBM, indicating sequence diversity in the SBM.  相似文献

A Gram-negative bacterium, Alcaligenes xylosoxydans ssp. xylosoxydans (SH91), consumed thiodiglycol (TDG), the nontoxic hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard, as a primary carbon source and transformed TDG to commercially relevant chemical precursors, [(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]acetic acid (HETA) and thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA). Aerobic fed batch and repeated batch experiments were run to compare the molar yields of HETA and TDGA that result under different operating policies. In repeated batch experiments, 35% of the TDG was converted to HETA. Under the conventional batch process and a repeated fed batch process, the HETA yields were reduced (21% and 18%, respectively), while the yield of TDGA was increased (47% and 31%,respectively). This work demonstrated that cell growth associated biocatalytic transformations were manipulated to achieve a desired byproducts profile through an understanding of the specific reaction and cell growth kinetics and by altering the reaction operating policy accordingly.  相似文献

1. A quantitative study was made of the relationship between survival of colony-forming ability in Escherichia coli strains B/r and B(s-1) and the extents of alkylation of cellular DNA, RNA and protein after treatment with mono- or di-functional sulphur mustards, methyl methanesulphonate or iodoacetamide. 2. The mustards and methyl methanesulphonate react with nucleic acids in the cells, in the same way as found previously from chemical studies in vitro, and with proteins. Iodoacetamide reacts only with protein, principally with the thiol groups of cysteine residues. 3. The extents of alkylation of cellular constituents required to prevent cell division vary widely according to the strain of bacteria and the nature of the alkylating agent. 4. The extents of alkylation of the sensitive and resistant strains at a given dose of alkylating agent do not differ significantly. 5. Removal of alkyl groups from DNA of cells of the resistant strains B/r and 15T(-) after alkylation with difunctional sulphur mustard was demonstrated; the product di(guanin-7-ylethyl) sulphide, characteristic of di- as opposed to mono-functional alkylation, was selectively removed; the time-scale of this effect suggests an enzymic rather than a chemical mechanism. 6. The sensitive strain B(s-1) removed alkyl groups from DNA in this way only at very low extents of alkylation. When sensitized to mustard action by treatment with iodoacetamide, acriflavine or caffeine, the extent of alkylation of cellular DNA corresponding to a mean lethal dose was decreased to approximately 3 molecules of di(guanin-7-ylethyl) sulphide in the genome of this strain. 7. Relatively large numbers of monofunctional alkylations per genome can be withstood by this sensitive strain. Iodoacetamide had the weakest cytotoxic action of the agents investigated; methyl methanesulphonate was significantly weaker in effect than the monofunctional sulphur mustard, which was in turn weaker than the difunctional sulphur mustard. 8. Effects of the sulphur mustards on nucleic acid synthesis in sensitive and resistant strains were studied. DNA synthesis was inhibited in both strains at low doses in a dose-dependent manner, but RNA and protein synthesis were not affected in this way. 9. DNA synthesis in E. coli B(s-1) was permanently inhibited by low doses of mustards. In the resistant strains 15T(-) and B/r a characteristic recovery in DNA synthesis was observed after a dose-dependent time-lag. This effect could be shown at low doses in the region of the mean lethal dose. 10. Cellular DNA was isotopically prelabelled and the effect of mustards on stability of DNA was investigated. With resistant strains a dose-dependent release of DNA nucleotide material into acid-soluble form was found; this was much more extensive with the difunctional mustard (about 400 nucleotides released per DNA alkylation) than with the monofunctional mustard (about 10 nucleotides per alkylation). With the sensitive strain no dose-dependent release was found, though the DNA was less stable independent of cellular alkylation. 11. The results are discussed in terms of the concepts that alkylation of cellular DNA induces lesions which interfere with DNA replication, but which can be enzymically ;repaired'. The possible nature of these lesions is discussed in terms of the known reactions of the alkylating agents with DNA.  相似文献

A sensitive method has been developed for the trace analysis of the sulphur mustard metabolite thiodiglycol (TDG) in urine, and its oxidation product thiodiglycol sulphoxide (TDGO) after reduction to thiodiglycol. Thiodiglycol was extracted from urine by solid phase extraction onto a polymeric cartridge and, after isolation, converted to its bis-heptafluorobutyryl derivative with heptafluorobutyryl imidazole. An ion trap mass spectrometer in selected reaction monitoring mode detected spiked concentrations down to 0.2 ng/ml with a signal to noise ratio>3:1. Urine, from human volunteers with no known exposure to sulphur mustard, contained detectable but very low concentrations (<0.2 ng/ml) of thiodiglycol, consistent with previous observations using different methodologies. Combined concentrations of thiodiglycol and thiodiglycol sulphoxide were determined after reduction of the latter with titanium trichloride. In this case higher background levels (up to 3 ng/ml) were observed, consistent with the sulphoxide being the major excretion product of the two metabolites. The method was applied to urine samples, stored frozen for 13 years, from two casualties of accidental mustard poisoning. Levels of thiodiglycol were 1 and 3 ng/ml, which increased to 78 and 104 ng/ml after treatment of the urine with titanium trichloride.  相似文献

Imaging single proteins within cells is challenging if the possibility of artefacts due to tagging or to recognition by antibodies is to be avoided. It is generally believed that the biological properties of proteins remain unaltered when 14N isotopes are replaced with 15N. 15N-enriched proteins can be localised by dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (D-SIMS). We describe here a novel imaging analysis algorithm to detect a few 15N-enriched proteins - and even a single protein - within a cell using D-SIMS. The algorithm distinguishes statistically between a low local increase in 15N isotopic fraction due to an enriched protein and a stochastic increase due to the background. To determine the number of enriched proteins responsible for the increase in the isotopic fraction, we use sequential D-SIMS images in which we compare the measured isotopic fractions to those expected if 1, 2 or more enriched proteins are present. The number of enriched proteins is the one that gives the best fit between the measured and the expected values. We used our method to localise 15N-enriched thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) and retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) proteins delivered to COS-7 cells. We show that both a single TDG and a single RXRα can be detected. After 4 h incubation, both proteins were found mainly in the nucleus; RXRα as a monomer or dimer and TDG only as a monomer. After 7 h, RXRα was found in the nucleus as a monomer, dimer or tetramer, whilst TDG was no longer in the nucleus and instead formed clusters in the cytoplasm. After 24 h, RXRα formed clusters in the cytoplasm, and TDG was no longer detectable. In conclusion, single unmodified proteins in cells can be counted and localised with 50 nm resolution by combining D-SIMS with our method of analysis.  相似文献

The plant growth promotion characteristics of a heavy-metal-resistant strain of Bacillus edaphicus NBT was characterized. The strain was also evaluated for promoting plant growth and lead (Pb) uptake of Brassica juncea L. Czern (Indian mustard) in soil artificially contaminated with 0, 400, and 800 mg Pb.kg-1 soil. Atomic absorption spectrometer analysis demonstrated that strain NBT could release water-soluble Pb from lead carbonate in the solution. Strain NBT had the capacity to produce indole acetic acid, siderophores, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase. Low and high Pb treatments significantly decreased the growth of Indian mustard. Inoculation with strain NBT was found to increase root dry mass (ranging from 16% to 22%) and above-ground tissue dry mass (ranging from 24% to 30%) of Indian mustard in the Pb-amended soil. Strain NBT was able to mobilize Pb efficiently in plants in Pb-amended soil. In the soil treated with 400 and 800 mg Pb.kg-1 soil, the increase in Pb uptake varied from 18% to 46% in live bacterium-inoculated Indian mustard plants compared with dead bacterium-inoculated control. The strain was also able to colonize and develop in the rhizosphere soil of Indian mustard after root inoculation.  相似文献

HT is a powerful vesicant produced for use as a chemical warfare agent. It is a mixture of 60 wt% 2,2' -dichlorodiethyl sulfide (“HD” or “sulfur mustard”) and 40 wt% bis-(2-(2-chloroethylthio)ethyl) ether (T). Because HT reacts with water to form primarily the alcoholic compounds thiodiglycol (TDG) and bis-(2-(2-hydroxyethylthio)ethyl) ether (T-OH), disposal might be accomplished by combining hydrolysis with biodegradation. The half-lives of H and T in a well-agitated 3.8% HT/water reaction at 90°C were 1.4 and 1.6 minutes, respectively. The concentrations of both compounds were reduced to less than 1 mg/L within about 30 minutes. TDG is readily biodegradable. However, T-OH biodegradability has not been reported previously. HBr treatment converted HT ether-alcohol products to TDG. A comparative study of two hydrolysis/biodegradation approaches is reported here. HT was hydrolyzed (1) in water, and (2) in water then with HBr. Products were used as feed for separate aerobic sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), and bioreactor performances were compared. Although both feed solutions were detoxified in the SBRs, water hydrolysis alone yielded better overall bioreactor operation, a more favorable mass balance, and a simpler process than with the HBr step. Results indicated that although the HBr converted ether-alcohol products to TDG, the HT products were biodegraded with greater efficiency when the HBr treatment was omitted.  相似文献

The defense response of Veneza zonata (Hemiptera: Coreidae) against three different trypanosomatid infections was assessed: (1) strain 714TD, a Leptomonas which has V. zonata as vector of a plant trypanosomatid, (2) strain 563TD, a Leptomonas isolated from the digestive tract of Euchistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and (3) Leishmania (L.) amazonensis, a human parasite that cannot infect V. zonata. Experiments with V. zonata hemolymph showed agglutination only of L. (L.) amazonensis culture forms and hemocytic recognition was more intense with this strain. L. (L.) amazonensis also activated the prophenoloxidase system, whereas strains 714TD and 563TD did not activate this system but rather seemed to inhibit phenoloxidase activity. No flagellates were seen in the digestive tract, hemolymph, or salivary glands in insects infected with L. (L.) amazonensis. The digestive tract, the hemolymph, and the salivary glands of insects fed on tomatoes inoculated with 714TD are sequentially invaded by the flagellate, which is inoculated in plants together with saliva. Insects fed on tomatoes inoculated with 563TD exhibited culture forms in the digestive tract (6 days after) and hemocoel (three additional days); however, they died 12 to 14 days after exposure. The salivary glands in insects inoculated in the hemocoel with 714TD strain are rapidly invaded, whereas those with 563TD culture forms died approximately 24 h after infection. Bacterial proliferation in the hemocoel and hemocyte surface blebbing were seen in insects infected only with 563TD strain as the probable pathogenic mechanism of insect death.  相似文献

Deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymine creates mutagenic G · T mispairs, contributing to cancer and genetic disease. Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) removes thymine from these G · T lesions, and follow-on base excision repair yields a G · C pair. A previous crystal structure revealed TDG (catalytic domain) bound to abasic DNA product in a 2:1 complex, one subunit at the abasic site and the other bound to undamaged DNA. Biochemical studies showed TDG can bind abasic DNA with 1:1 or 2:1 stoichiometry, but the dissociation constants were unknown, as was the stoichiometry and affinity for binding substrates and undamaged DNA. We showed that 2:1 binding is dispensable for G · U activity, but its role in G · T repair was unknown. Using equilibrium binding anisotropy experiments, we show that a single TDG subunit binds very tightly to G · U mispairs and abasic (G · AP) sites, and somewhat less tightly G · T mispairs. Kinetics experiments show 1:1 binding provides full G · T activity. TDG binds undamaged CpG sites with remarkable affinity, modestly weaker than G · T mispairs, and exhibits substantial affinity for nonspecific DNA. While 2:1 binding is observed for large excess TDG concentrations, our findings indicate that a single TDG subunit is fully capable of locating and processing G · U or G · T lesions.  相似文献

Active DNA demethylation in mammals occurs via hydroxylation of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) by the ten-eleven translocation family of proteins (TETs). 5hmC residues in DNA can be further oxidized by TETs to 5-carboxylcytosines and/or deaminated by the Activation Induced Deaminase/Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme complex family proteins to 5-hydromethyluracil (5hmU). Excision and replacement of these intermediates is initiated by DNA glycosylases such as thymine-DNA glycosylase (TDG), methyl-binding domain protein 4 (MBD4) and single-strand specific monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase 1 in the base excision repair pathway. Here, we report detailed biochemical and structural characterization of human MBD4 which contains mismatch-specific TDG activity. Full-length as well as catalytic domain (residues 426–580) of human MBD4 (MBD4cat) can remove 5hmU when opposite to G with good efficiency. Here, we also report six crystal structures of human MBD4cat: an unliganded form and five binary complexes with duplex DNA containing a T•G, 5hmU•G or AP•G (apurinic/apyrimidinic) mismatch at the target base pair. These structures reveal that MBD4cat uses a base flipping mechanism to specifically recognize thymine and 5hmU. The recognition mechanism of flipped-out 5hmU bases in MBD4cat active site supports the potential role of MBD4, together with TDG, in maintenance of genome stability and active DNA demethylation in mammals.  相似文献

The thymine DNA mismatch glycosylase from Methanobacterium thermoformicicum, a member of the endonuclease III family of repair proteins, excises the pyrimidine base from T-G and U-G mismatches. Unlike endonuclease III, it does not cleave the phosphodiester backbone by a beta-elimination reaction. This cleavage event has been attributed to a nucleophilic attack by the conserved Lys120 of endonuclease III on the aldehyde group at C1' of the deoxyribose and subsequent Schiff base formation. The inability of TDG to perform this beta-elimination event appears to be due to the presence of a tyrosine residue at the position equivalent to Lys120 in endonuclease III. The purpose of this work was to investigate the requirements for AP lyase activity. We replaced Tyr126 in TDG with a lysine residue to determine if this replacement would yield an enzyme with an associated AP lyase activity capable of removing a mismatched pyrimidine. We observed that this replacement abolishes the glycosylase activity of TDG but does not affect substrate recognition. It does, however, convert the enzyme into an AP lyase. Chemical trapping assays show that this cleavage proceeds through a Schiff base intermediate and suggest that the amino acid at position 126 interacts with C1' on the deoxyribose sugar.  相似文献
