In Pseudomonas putida, the catBC operon encodes enzymes involved in benzoate degradation. Previous studies have determined that these enzymes are induced when P. putida is grown in the presence of benzoate. Induction of the enzymes of the catBC operon requires an intermediate of benzoate degradation, cis,cis-muconate, and a regulatory protein, CatR. It has been determined that CatR binds to a 27-bp region of the catBC promoter in the presence or absence of inducer. We have called this the repression binding site. In this study, we used a gel shift assay to demonstrate that the inducer, cis,cis-muconate, increases the affinity of CatR for the catBC promoter region by 20-fold. Furthermore, in the absence of cis,cis-muconate, CatR forms two complexes in the gel shift assay. The inducer cis,cis-muconate confers specificity primarily for the formation of complex 2. DNase I footprinting showed that an additional 27 bp of the catBC promoter region is protected by CatR in the presence of cis,cis-muconate. We have named this second binding site the activation binding site. Methylation interference footprinting determined that in the presence or absence of inducer, five G nucleotides of the catBC promoter region were necessary for CatR interaction with the repression binding site, while a single G residue was important for CatR interaction with the activation binding site in the presence of cis,cis-muconate. Using polymerase chain reaction-generated constructs, we found that the binding of CatR to the repression binding site is independent of the activation binding site. However, binding of CatR to the activation binding site required an intact repression binding site.  相似文献

For enhancement ofcis,cis-muconate productivity from benzoate, catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C12O) which catalyzes the rate-limiting step (catechol conversion tocis,cis-muconate) was cloned and expressed in recombinantPseudomonas putida BCM114. At higher benzoate concentrations (more than 15 mM),cis,cis-muconate productivity gradually decreased and unconverted catechol was accumulated up to 10 mM in the case of wildtypeP. putida BM014, whereascis,cis-muconate productivity continuously increased and catechol was completely transformed tocis,cis-muconate forP. putida BCM114. Specific C12O activity ofP. putida BCM114 was about three times higher than that ofP. putida BM014, and productivity was enhanced more than two times.  相似文献

The β-ketoadipate pathway is a major pathway involved in the catabolism of the aromatic compounds in microbes. The recent progress in genome sequencing has led to a rapid accumulation of genes from the β-ketoadipate pathway in the available genetic database, yet the functions of these genes remain uncharacterized. In this study, the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway of Rhodococcus jostii was reconstituted in vitro. Analysis of the reaction products of PcaHG, PcaB, and PcaL was achieved by high-performance liquid chromatography. These reaction products, β-ketoadipate enol-lactone, 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate, γ-carboxymuconolactone, muconolactone, and β-ketoadipate, were further characterized using LC-MS and nuclear magnetic resonance. In addition, the in vitro reaction of PcaL, a bidomain protein consisting of γ-carboxy-muconolactone decarboxylase and β-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase activities, was demonstrated for the first time. This work provides a basis for analyzing the catalytic properties of enzymes involved in the growing number of β-ketoadipate pathways deposited in the genetic database.  相似文献

Muconate cycloisomerases play a crucial role in the bacterial degradation of aromatic compounds by converting cis,cis-muconate, the product of catechol ring cleavage, to (4S)-muconolactone. Chloromuconate cycloisomerases catalyze both the corresponding reaction and a dehalogenation reaction in the transformation of chloroaromatic compounds. This study reports the first thorough examination of the substrate specificity of the muconate cycloisomerases from Pseudomonas putida PRS2000 and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus” ADP1. We show that they transform, in addition to cis,cis-muconate, 3-fluoro-, 2-methyl-, and 3-methyl-cis,cis-muconate with high specificity constants but not 2-fluoro-, 2-chloro-, 3-chloro-, or 2,4-dichloro-cis,cis-muconate. Based on known three-dimensional structures, variants of P. putida muconate cycloisomerase were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis to contain amino acids found in equivalent positions in chloromuconate cycloisomerases. Some of the variants had significantly increased specificity constants for 3-chloro- or 2,4-dichloromuconate (e.g., A271S and I54V showed 27- and 22-fold increases, respectively, for the former substrate). These kinetic improvements were not accompanied by a change from protoanemonin to cis,cis-dienelactone as the product of 3-chloro-cis,cis-muconate conversion. The rate of 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate turnover was not significantly improved, nor was this compound dehalogenated to any significant extent. However, the direction of 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate cycloisomerization could be influenced by amino acid exchange. While the wild-type enzyme discriminated only slightly between the two possible cycloisomerization directions, some of the enzyme variants showed a strong preference for either (+)-2-chloro- or (+)-5-chloromuconolactone formation. These results show that the different catalytic characteristics of muconate and chloromuconate cycloisomerases are due to a number of features that can be changed independently of each other.  相似文献

Summary Growth ofNocardia sp. NCIB 10503 on a suitable aromatic substrate acts to induce a stable catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.1.1. catechol: oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase). This enzyme can be obtained without significant loss of activity, and free from the subsequent enzyme of the pathway, by simply freeze-drying a crude cell-free extract. The enzyme preparations can then be used to biotransform catechol quantitatively tocis, cis-muconate. Immobilising the enzyme by co-valently attaching it to cyanogen bromide-activated agarose increased its stability without significantly decreasing enzyme efficiency. The use of the immobilised crude enzyme material offers a cheap mode of generating a biocatalyst not only for the production ofcis, cis-muconate but also related substituted products.  相似文献

The nocR gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid pTiT37 is the regulatory gene of the nopaline catabolism (noc) operon of pTiT37. We have cloned and sequenced nocR, which encodes a DNA-binding protein. The deduced amino acid sequence is similar to those of members of the LysR family of prokaryotic activator proteins. Gel retardation experiments demonstrated that the NocR protein binds to the nocR promoter in both the presence and absence of nopaline. The increased mobility of the complex and alterations in the DNase I footprints revealed a nopaline-induced conformational change in the NocR-DNA complex. Sequence analysis of the NocR binding site indicated the presence immediately downstream of the –10 sequence of the nocR promoter of a 12 by putative operator overlapping a consensus gyrase recognition sequence and an 18 by long alternating purine-pyrimidine sequence. These results suggest that nopaline-induced alterations in the NocR protein-nocR promoter complex might control gene expression in the noc operon.  相似文献

The chloromuconate cycloisomerase of Pseudomonas sp. B13 was purified from 3-chlorobenzoate-grown wild-type cells while the chloromuconate cycloisomerases of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 (pJP4) and Pseudomonas sp. P51 (pP51) were purified from Escherichia coli strains expressing the corresponding gene. Kinetic studies were performed with various chloro-, fluoro-, and methylsubstituted cis,cis-muconates. 2,4-Dichloro-cis,cis-muconate proved to be the best substrate for all three chloromuconate cycloisomerases. Of the three enzymes, TfdD of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 (pJP4) was most specific, since its specificity constant for 2,4-dichloro-cis,cis-muconate was the highest, while the constants for cis,cis-muconate, 2-chloro- and 2,5-dichloro-cis,cis-muconate were especially poor. The sequence of ClcB of the 3-chlorobenzoate-utilizing strain Pseudomonas sp. B13 was determined and turned out to be identical to that of the corresponding enzyme of pAC27 (though slightly different from the published sequences). Corresponding to 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate being a major metabolite of 3-chlorobenzoate degradation, the k cat/K m with 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate was relatively high, while that with the still preferred substrate 2,4-dichloro-cis,cis-muconate was relatively low. This enzyme was thus the least specific and the least active among the three compared enzymes. TcbD of Pseudomonas sp. P51 (pP51) took an intermediate position with respect to both the degree of specificity and the activity with the preferred substrate.

2,4-Dichloro-cis,cis-muconate is established as ringcleavage product in the degradation of 3,5-dichlorocatechol by Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP 134. The formerly described isomerization of 2-chloro-trans- to 2-chlorocis-4-carboxymethylenebut-2-en-4-olide as an essential catabolic step could not be certified.  相似文献
