Pyridoxamine-pyruvate aminotransferase (PPAT; EC 2.6.1.30) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-independent aminotransferase and catalyzes reversible transamination between pyridoxamine and pyruvate to form pyridoxal and L-alanine. The crystal structure of PPAT from Mesorhizobium loti has been solved in space group P4(3)2(1)2 and was refined to an R factor of 15.6% (R(free) = 20.6%) at 2.0 A resolution. In addition, the structures of PPAT in complexes with pyridoxamine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxyl-L-alanine have been refined to R factors of 15.6, 15.4, and 14.5% (R(free) = 18.6, 18.1, and 18.4%) at 1.7, 1.7, and 2.0 A resolution, respectively. PPAT is a homotetramer and each subunit is composed of a large N-terminal domain, consisting of seven beta-sheets and eight alpha-helices, and a smaller C-terminal domain, consisting of three beta-sheets and four alpha-helices. The substrate pyridoxal is bound through an aldimine linkage to Lys-197 in the active site. The alpha-carboxylate group of the substrate amino/keto acid is hydrogen-bonded to Arg-336 and Arg-345. The structures revealed that the bulky side chain of Glu-68 interfered with the binding of the phosphate moiety of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and made PPAT specific to pyridoxal. The reaction mechanism of the enzyme is discussed based on the structures and kinetics results. 相似文献

The function of the mlr6793 gene from Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 has been identified. This gene encodes 4-pyridoxic acid dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in the catabolism of PLP (Vitamin B6). This enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and characterized. 4-Pyridoxic acid dehydrogenase is a 33kDa protein that catalyzes the four electron oxidation of 4-pyridoxic acid to 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate, using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as a cofactor. The k cat for NADH production is 0.01s(-1). The KM values for 4-pyridoxic acid and NAD are 5.8 and 6.6microM, respectively. 相似文献

The gene encoding 4-pyridoxic acid dehydrogenase was identified as mlr6792 in a chromosome of a nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacterium Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099. The enzyme is the fourth enzyme in the vitamin B(6) (pyridoxine)-degradation pathway I. The recombinant enzyme with a his-tag over-expressed in Escherichia coli cells was a membrane-bound protein, and purified to homogeneity. The enzyme was a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 59,000, and a flavoprotein containing one mole of FAD per mole of subunit. The optimum pH and temperature, and K(m) for 4-pyridoxic acid were pH 8.5 and 30 degrees C, and 29 muM, respectively. The enzyme was a glucose-methanol-choline (GMC) family protein with two signature patterns, FAD-binding residues, a putative active site histidine residue and a probable transmembrane segment. 相似文献

For effective exploitation of the genome sequence information of Lotus microsymbiont, Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099, to discover gene functions, we have constructed an ordered and mutually overlapping cosmid library using an IncP broad host-range vector. The library consisted of 480 clones to cover approximately 99.6% of the genome with average insert size and overlap of 26.9 and 11.1 kbp, respectively. The genome of M. loti consists of a single chromosome and two plasmids. The chromosome (7,036,071 bp) was covered 99.68% by 445 clones with four gaps, although two clones were unstable in E. coli. The larger plasmid pMLa (351,911 bp) was completely covered by 23 clones, while the smaller pMLb (208,315 bp) was covered 98.85% by 12 clones with two gaps. We have also made ancillary plasmids to facilitate the construction of deletion mutants using derivatives of the library clones. As a pilot experiment to uncover regions which contain novel symbiotic genes, 13 deletion mutants were constructed to lack in total 180.5 kbp of the genome. All the mutants formed apparently normal nodules and supported symbiotic nitrogen fixation, however, one mutant that lacked a 5.3 kbp chromosomal region, 4,551,930-4,557,222, did not produce normal exopolysaccharides as judged by fluorescence on medium containing Calcofluor. The results supported the effectiveness of the approach to detect gene functions. 相似文献

The function of the mlr6787 gene from Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 has been identified. This gene encodes 2-(acetamidomethylene)succinate hydrolase, an enzyme involved in the catabolism of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (vitamin B 6). This enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and characterized. 2-(Acetamidomethylene)succinate hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2-(acetamidomethylene)succinate to yield succinic semialdehyde, acetic acid, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. The k cat and K M for this reaction were 0.6 s (-1) and 143 microM, respectively. The enzyme was shown to utilize the E isomer of 2-(acetamidomethylene)succinate. 相似文献

ω-Aminotransferase (ω-AT) is an important class of enzymes for the synthesis of chiral amines or β-amino acids. Family profile analysis was applied to screen putative ω-ATs from Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099, a nitrogen fixation bacterium that has a larger number of ATs than other microorganisms. By family profile analysis, we selected 10 putative ω-ATs according to E-value. The functions of the putative ω-ATs were investigated by examining activities towards amines and/or β-amino acids. 10 putative proteins were found to have ω-AT activity with narrow or broad substrate specificity. Structure analysis using crystal structure of mll7127 and homology models of mll1632 and mll3663 indicated that the structures of active sites of the enzymes were very similar and highly conserved, but their substrate specificities appreared to be determined by residues positioned at the entrance region of the active site binding pockets. 相似文献

Haloalkane dehalogenases are key enzymes for the degradation of halogenated aliphatic pollutants. Two rhizobial strains, Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 and Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110, have open reading frames (ORFs), mlr5434 and blr1087, respectively, that encode putative haloalkane dehalogenase homologues. The crude extracts of Escherichia coli strains expressing mlr5434 and blr1087 showed the ability to dehalogenate 18 halogenated compounds, indicating that these ORFs indeed encode haloalkane dehalogenases. Therefore, these ORFs were referred to as dmlA (dehalogenase from Mesorhizobium loti) and dbjA (dehalogenase from Bradyrhizobium japonicum), respectively. The principal component analysis of the substrate specificities of various haloalkane dehalogenases clearly showed that DbjA and DmlA constitute a novel substrate specificity class with extraordinarily high activity towards beta-methylated compounds. Comparison of the circular dichroism spectra of DbjA and other dehalogenases strongly suggested that DbjA contains more alpha-helices than the other dehalogenases. The dehalogenase activity of resting cells and Northern blot analyses both revealed that the dmlA and dbjA genes were expressed under normal culture conditions in MAFF303099 and USDA110 strain cells, respectively. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of a symbiotic bacterium Mesorhizobium loti strain MAFF303099 was determined. The genome of M. loti consisted of a single chromosome (7,036,071 bp) and two plasmids, designated as pMLa (351,911 bp) and pMLb (208, 315 bp). The chromosome comprises 6752 potential protein-coding genes, two sets of rRNA genes and 50 tRNA genes representing 47 tRNA species. Fifty-four percent of the potential protein genes showed sequence similarity to genes of known function, 21% to hypothetical genes, and the remaining 25% had no apparent similarity to reported genes. A 611-kb DNA segment, a highly probable candidate of a symbiotic island, was identified, and 30 genes for nitrogen fixation and 24 genes for nodulation were assigned in this region. Codon usage analysis suggested that the symbiotic island as well as the plasmids originated and were transmitted from other genetic systems. The genomes of two plasmids, pMLa and pMLb, contained 320 and 209 potential protein-coding genes, respectively, for a variety of biological functions. These include genes for the ABC-transporter system, phosphate assimilation, two-component system, DNA replication and conjugation, but only one gene for nodulation was identified. 相似文献

Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 has a functional type III secretory system (T3SS) involved in the nodulation process on Lotus tenuis and Lotus japonicus. Four putative M.?loti T3SS effectors (Mlr6358, Mlr6331, Mlr6361, and Mlr6316) have been previously described, and it has been demonstrated that the N-terminal regions of Mlr6361 and Mlr6358 mediate the secretion via a T3SS. Here, we demonstrate the capacity of Mlr6316 and Mlr6331 N-terminal regions to direct the secretion of a translational fusion to a reporter peptide through T3SS. By using single, double, and triple mutants, we demonstrated the positive and negative participation of some of these proteins in the determination of competitiveness on Lotus spp. Low competitiveness values correlated with low nodulation efficiency for a mutant deficient in three of the putative M.?loti effectors. Our data suggest that the net effect of M.?loti T3SS function on symbiotic process with Lotus results from a balance between positive and negative effects. 相似文献

Background
Legumes establish with rhizobial bacteria a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis which is of the utmost importance for both plant nutrition and a sustainable agriculture. Calcium is known to act as a key intracellular messenger in the perception of symbiotic signals by both the host plant and the microbial partner. Regulation of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration, which is a fundamental prerequisite for any Ca2+-based signalling system, is accomplished by complex mechanisms including Ca2+ binding proteins acting as Ca2+ buffers. In this work we investigated the occurrence of Ca2+ binding proteins in Mesorhizobium loti, the specific symbiotic partner of the model legume Lotus japonicus.Results
A soluble, low molecular weight protein was found to share several biochemical features with the eukaryotic Ca2+-binding proteins calsequestrin and calreticulin, such as Stains-all blue staining on SDS-PAGE, an acidic isoelectric point and a Ca2+-dependent shift of electrophoretic mobility. The protein was purified to homogeneity by an ammonium sulfate precipitation procedure followed by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose and electroendosmotic preparative electrophoresis. The Ca2+ binding ability of the M. loti protein was demonstrated by 45Ca2+-overlay assays. ESI-Q-TOF MS/MS analyses of the peptides generated after digestion with either trypsin or endoproteinase AspN identified the rhizobial protein as ferredoxin II and confirmed the presence of Ca2+ adducts.Conclusions
The present data indicate that ferredoxin II is a major Ca2+ binding protein in M. loti that may participate in Ca2+ homeostasis and suggest an evolutionarily ancient origin for protein-based Ca2+ regulatory systems.Electronic supplementary material

The function of the mlr6791 gene from Mesorhizobium loti MAFF303099 has been identified. This gene encodes 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate decarboxylase (HMPDdc), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (Vitamin B6). This enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and characterized. HMPDdc is a 26 kDa protein that catalyzes the decarboxylation of 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate to 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate. The KM and kcat were found to be 366 microM and 0.6 s-1, respectively. The structure of this enzyme was determined at 1.9 A resolution using SAD phasing and belongs to the class II aldolase/adducin superfamily. While the decarboxylation of hydroxy-substituted benzene rings is a common motif in biosynthesis, the mechanism of this reaction is still poorly characterized. The structural studies described here suggest that catalysis of such decarboxylations proceeds by an aldolase-like mechanism. 相似文献

Plant hemoglobins (Hbs) have been divided into three groups: class 1, class 2, and truncated Hbs. The various physiological functions of class 1 Hb include its role as a modulator of nitric oxide (NO) levels in plants. To gain more insight into the functions of class 1 Hbs, we investigated the physical properties of LjHb1 and AfHb1, class 1 Hbs of a model legume Lotus japonicus and an actinorhizal plant Alnus firma , respectively. Spectrophotometric analysis showed that the recombinant form of the LjHb1 and AfHb1 proteins reacted with NO. The localization of LjHb1 expression was correlated with the site of NO production. Overexpression of LjHb1 and AfHb1 by transformed hairy roots caused changes in symbiosis with rhizobia. The number of nodules formed on hairy roots overexpressing LjHb1 or AfHb1 increased compared with that on untransformed hairy roots. Furthermore, nitrogenase activity as acetylene-reduction activity (ARA) of LjHb1- or AfHb1 -overexpressing nodules was higher than that of the vector control nodules. Microscopic observation with a NO-specific fluorescent dye suggested that the NO level in LjHb1 - and AfHb1 -overexpressing nodules was lower than that of control nodules. Exogenous application of a NO scavenger enhanced ARA in L. japonicus nodule s , whereas a NO donor inhibited ARA. These results suggest that the basal level of NO in nodules inhibits nitrogen fixation, and overexpression of class 1 Hbs enhances symbiotic nitrogen fixation activity by removing NO as an inhibitor of nitrogenase. 相似文献
