Sphingobium yanoikuyae B1 initiates the catabolism of biphenyl by adding dioxygen to the aromatic nucleus to form (+)-cis-(2R, 3S)-dihydroxy-1-phenylcyclohexa-4,6-diene. The present study focuses on the biphenyl 2,3-dioxygenase system, which catalyzes the dioxygenation reaction. This enzyme has been shown to have a broad substrate range, catalyzing the dioxygenation of not only biphenyl, but also three- and four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Extracts prepared from biphenyl-grown B1 cells contained three protein components that were required for the oxidation of biphenyl. The genes encoding the three components (bphA4, bphA3 and bphA1f,A2f) were expressed in Escherichia coli. Biotransformations of biphenyl, naphthalene, phenanthrene, and benzo[a]pyrene as substrates using the recombinant E. coli strain resulted in the formation of the expected cis-dihydrodiol products previously shown to be produced by biphenyl-induced strain B1. The three protein components were purified to apparent homogeneity and characterized in detail. The reductase component (bphA4), designated reductase(BPH-B1), was a 43 kD monomer containing one mol FAD/mol reductase(BPH-B1). The ferredoxin component (bphA3), designated ferredoxin(BPH-B1), was a 12 kD monomer containing approximately 2 g-atoms each of iron and acid-labile sulfur. The oxygenase component (bphA1f,A2f), designated oxygenase(BPH-B1), was a 217 kD heterotrimer consisting of alpha and beta subunits (approximately 51 and 21 kD, respectively). The iron and acid-labile sulfur contents of oxygenase(BPH-B1) per alphabeta were 2.4 and 1.8 g-atom per mol, respectively. Reduced ferredoxin(BPH-B1) and oxygenase(BPH-B1) each gave EPR signals typical of Rieske [2Fe-2S] proteins. Crystals of reductase(BPH-B1), ferredoxin(BPH-B1) and oxygenase(BPH-B1 )diffracted to 2.5 A, 2.0 A and 1.75 A, respectively. The structures of the three proteins are currently being determined. 相似文献

Active site residues controlling substrate specificity in 2-nitrotoluene dioxygenase from Acidovorax sp. strain JS42 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Acidovorax (formerly Pseudomonas) sp. strain JS42 utilizes 2-nitrotoluene as sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. 2-Nitrotoluene 2,3-dioxygenase (2NTDO)
catalyzes the initial step in 2-nitrotoluene degradation by converting 2-nitrotoluene to 3-methylcatechol. In this study,
we identified specific amino acids at the active site that control specificity. The residue at position 350 was found to be
critical in determining both the enantiospecificity of 2NTDO with naphthalene and the ability to oxidize the ring of mononitrotoluenes.
Substitution of Ile350 by phenylalanine resulted in an enzyme that produced 97% (+)-(1R, 2S)-cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol, in contrast to the wild type, which produced 72% (+)-(1R, 2S)-cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol. This substitution also severely reduced the ability of the enzyme to produce methylcatechols from
nitrotoluenes. Instead, the methyl group of each nitrotoluene isomer was preferentially oxidized to form the corresponding
nitrobenzyl alcohol. Substitution of a valine at position 258 significantly changed the enantiospecificity of 2NTDO (54% (−)-(1S, 2R)-cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol formed from naphthalene) and the ability of the enzyme to oxidize the aromatic ring of nitrotoluenes.
Based on active site modeling using the crystal structure of nitrobenzene 1,2 dioxygenase from Comamonas sp. JS765, Asn258 appears to contribute to substrate specificity through hydrogen bonding to the nitro group of nitrotoluenes. 相似文献

Using different maximum-likelihood models of adaptive evolution, signatures of natural selective pressure, operating across the naphthalene family of dioxygenases, were examined. A lineage- and branch-site specific combined analysis revealed that purifying selection pressure dominated the evolutionary history of the enzyme family. Specifically, episodic positive Darwinian selection pressure, affecting only a few sites in a subset of lineages, was found to be responsible for the evolution of nitroarene dioxygenases (NArDO) from naphthalene dioxygenase (NDO). Site-specific analysis confirmed the absence of diversifying selection pressure at any particular site. Different sets of positively selected residues, obtained from branch-site specific analysis, were detected for the evolution of each NArDO. They were mainly located around the active site, the catalytic pocket and their adjacent regions, when mapped onto the 3D structure of the α-subunit of NDO. The present analysis enriches the current understanding of adaptive evolution and also broadens the scope for rational alteration of substrate specificity of enzyme by directed evolution. 相似文献

Carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase (CARDO) catalyzes the dihydroxylation of carbazole by angular position (C9a) carbon bonding to the imino nitrogen and its adjacent C1 carbon. This reaction is an initial degradation reaction of the carbazole degradation pathway by various bacterial strains. Only a limited number of Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase systems (ROSs) can catalyze this novel reaction, termed angular dioxygenation. Angular dioxygenation is also involved in the degradation pathways of carbazole-related compounds, dioxin, and CARDO can catalyze the angular dioxygenation for dioxin. CARDO consists of a terminal oxygenase component (CARDO-O), and the electron transport components, ferredoxin (CARDO-F) and ferredoxin reductase (CARDO-R). CARDO-O has a homotrimeric structure, and governs the substrate specificity of CARDO. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of CARDO-O of Janthinobacterium sp. strain J3 at a resolution of 1.95A. The alpha3 trimeric overall structure of the CARDO-O molecule roughly corresponds to the alpha3 partial structures of other terminal oxygenase components of ROSs that have the alpha3beta3 configuration. The CARDO-O structure is a first example of the terminal oxygenase components of ROSs that have the alpha3 configuration, and revealed the presence of the specific loops that interact with a neighboring subunit, which is proposed to be indispensable for stable alpha3 interactions without structural beta subunits. The shape of the substrate-binding pocket of CARDO-O is markedly different from those of other oxygenase components involved in naphthalene and biphenyl degradation pathways. Docking simulations suggested that carbazole binds to the substrate-binding pocket in a manner suitable for catalysis of angular dioxygenation. 相似文献

AIMS: To isolate and characterize the phorate [O,O-diethyl-S-(ethylthio)methyl phosphoradiothioate] degrading bacteria from agricultural soil, and their assessment for multifarious biological activities of environmental and agronomic significance. METHODS AND RESULTS: Based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics, the selected isolates PS-1, PS-2 and PS-3 were presumptively identified as Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and Proteus species, respectively. The HPLC analysis of phorate in bioaugmented soil revealed its complete disappearance within 40 days. The degradation isotherms of the isolates PS-1, PS-2 and PS-3 suggested time-dependent disappearance of phorate following the first-order rate kinetics at the corresponding rate constants of 0.04, 0.05 and 0.04 d-1. Besides, the isolates concurrently exhibited substantial phosphate solubilization, indole acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production, as well as limited biocontrol activity against fungal phytopathogens. CONCLUSIONS, SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The data revealed the potential of isolates for collateral plant growth promotion, biocontrol and bioremediation. The selected strains may serve as an important bioresource for development of effective super-bioinoculants. 相似文献

Nitroaromatic compounds are used extensively in many industrial processes and have been released into the environment where they are considered environmental pollutants. Nitroaromatic compounds, in general, are resistant to oxidative attack due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro groups and the stability of the benzene ring. However, the bacterium Comamonas sp. strain JS765 can grow with nitrobenzene as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. Biodegradation is initiated by the nitrobenzene dioxygenase (NBDO) system. We have determined the structure of NBDO, which has a hetero-hexameric structure similar to that of several other Rieske non-heme iron dioxygenases. The catalytic subunit contains a Rieske iron-sulfur center and an active-site mononuclear iron atom. The structures of complexes with substrates nitrobenzene and 3-nitrotoluene reveal the structural basis for its activity with nitroarenes. The substrate pocket contains an asparagine residue that forms a hydrogen bond to the nitro-group of the substrate, and orients the substrate in relation to the active-site mononuclear iron atom, positioning the molecule for oxidation at the nitro-substituted carbon. 相似文献

The main purpose of this paper is to study naphthalene (NAP) biodegradation by acclimated activated sludge, employing the culture-enrichment method in a continuous flow bioreactor of the wastewater treatment process. The effects of various COD loadings and influent flow rates of an artificial wastewater containing 15 mg l−1 NAP on the biodegradation rates of the activated sludge will be investigated, in order to determine the biodegradation kinetics and minimum mean cell residence time of the activated sludge. From the experimental results, it was found that the resulting enriched activated sludge follows the growth rate of the Monod type and can biodegrade those COD and NAP loadings in the influents efficiently, and its bio-treatment efficiency on NAPs increases with the decrease of influent flow rate. The sludge volume index (SVI) of the resulting enriched activated sludge meets the design value required by the convectional activated sludge process for the treatment of wastewater. 相似文献

Control of substrate specificity by active-site residues in nitrobenzene dioxygenase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nitrobenzene 1,2-dioxygenase from Comamonas sp. strain JS765 catalyzes the initial reaction in nitrobenzene degradation, forming catechol and nitrite. The enzyme also oxidizes the aromatic rings of mono- and dinitrotoluenes at the nitro-substituted carbon, but the basis for this specificity is not understood. In this study, site-directed mutagenesis was used to modify the active site of nitrobenzene dioxygenase, and the contribution of specific residues in controlling substrate specificity and enzyme performance was evaluated. The activities of six mutant enzymes indicated that the residues at positions 258, 293, and 350 in the alpha subunit are important for determining regiospecificity with nitroarene substrates and enantiospecificity with naphthalene. The results provide an explanation for the characteristic specificity with nitroarene substrates. Based on the structure of nitrobenzene dioxygenase, substitution of valine for the asparagine at position 258 should eliminate a hydrogen bond between the substrate nitro group and the amino group of asparagine. Up to 99% of the mononitrotoluene oxidation products formed by the N258V mutant were nitrobenzyl alcohols rather than catechols, supporting the importance of this hydrogen bond in positioning substrates in the active site for ring oxidation. Similar results were obtained with an I350F mutant, where the formation of the hydrogen bond appeared to be prevented by steric interference. The specificity of enzymes with substitutions at position 293 varied depending on the residue present. Compared to the wild type, the F293Q mutant was 2.5 times faster at oxidizing 2,6-dinitrotoluene while retaining a similar Km for the substrate based on product formation rates and whole-cell kinetics. 相似文献

Sphingobium yanoikuyae B1 utilizes both polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (biphenyl, naphthalene, and phenanthrene) and monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(toluene, m- and p-xylene) as its sole source of carbon and energy for growth. The majority of the genes for these intertwined monocyclic and
polycyclic aromatic pathways are grouped together on a 39 kb fragment of chromosomal DNA. However, this gene cluster is missing
several genes encoding essential enzymatic steps in the aromatic degradation pathway, most notably the genes encoding the
oxygenase component of the initial polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) dioxygenase. Transposon mutagenesis of strain B1
yielded a mutant blocked in the initial oxidation of PAHs. The transposon insertion point was sequenced and a partial gene
sequence encoding an oxygenase component of a putative PAH dioxygenase identified. A cosmid clone from a genomic library of
S. yanoikuyae B1 was identified which contains the complete putative PAH oxygenase gene sequence. Separate clones expressing the genes
encoding the electron transport components (ferredoxin and reductase) and the PAH dioxygenase were constructed. Incubation
of cells expressing the dioxygenase enzyme system with biphenyl or naphthalene resulted in production of the corresponding
cis-dihydrodiol confirming PAH dioxygenase activity. This demonstrates that a single multicomponent dioxygenase enzyme is involved
in the initial oxidation of both biphenyl and naphthalene in S. yanoikuyae B1. 相似文献

Two variants of plant growth-promoting strain Pseudomonas putida BS1380 harboring the naphthalene degradative plasmid pBS2 and the recombinant plasmid pNAU64 that contains the genes encoding for naphthalene dioxygenase were constructed by conjugation. The ability of this strain to produce phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid from different carbon sources was studied. Indole-3-acetic acid synthesis by these transconjugants was 15-30 times as much in contrast to a wild-type strain with glucose as the sole carbon source. No difference was observed in other carbon or nitrogen sources. It is suggested that naphthalene dioxygenase is involved in the conversion of indole-3-pyruvic acid to indole-3-acetic acid. 相似文献

多环芳烃是一种常见的持久性有机污染物,因具有致癌、致突变等毒性而被广泛关注。其微生物降解过程通常由羟化起始,随后脱氢、开环、一步步去除支链,最终进入三羧酸循环。Rieske 非血红素铁环羟化酶(Rieske-type non-heme iron aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenases , RHOs , 又称 aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases) 或细胞色素 P450 氧化酶负责将羟基加成到多环芳烃环上,将疏水性的多环芳烃转化为亲水性的衍生物,这一过程是多环芳烃降解转化的起始步骤,也是关键步骤和限速步骤之一。文中主要介绍 RHOs 的分布、底物特异性、底物识别机制以及研究 RHOs 与多环芳烃的一些技术和方法等,并对 RHOs 在环境修复技术中的潜在应用进行了展望。 相似文献

The phthalate dioxygenase system consists of the dioxygenase, PDO, which contains a Rieske [2Fe-2S] center and a Fe(II)-mononuclear center, and the reductase, PDR. Involvement of the distal end of the 105-125 loop of PDO in its interaction with PDR was tested by substituting charged residues in the loop with alanines and by replacing the conserved tryptophan-94. Compared to wild-type PDO, all variants had lower catalytic activity and the Rieske centers were reduced more slowly by reduced PDR. The rates of oxidation of the Rieske centers by oxygen, which represent electron transfer between the Rieske and mononuclear centers, were essentially unaffected. These results suggest that positively charged residues of the distal end of the 105-125 loop are collectively involved in PDR binding with the PDO. Contrary to expectations, Trp94 variants were not directly involved in electron transfer between PDR and PDO. The tryptophan appears to have mainly a structural role, apparently preserving the hydrophilic environment of the Rieske center. 相似文献

Changes in fatty acid composition in Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas stutzeri during naphthalene degradation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of naphthalene on the whole cell-derived fatty acid composition of Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas stutzeri during naphthalene degradation were investigated. These strains differed in their abilities to degrade naphthalene and in 1,2-catechol dioxygenase activities. The cells of both strains reacted to the addition of naphthalene with an increase in the saturated/unsaturated ratio. The dynamic changes comprised also alterations in the percentage of hydroxy, cyclopropane and branched fatty acids. Upon the exposure of naphthalene, new fatty acids were detected. 相似文献

Bacillus sp. strain JF8, which was isolated from compost, utilizes naphthalene and biphenyl as carbon sources at 60 degrees C. Biphenyl grown cells of strain JF8 barely degraded naphthalene while naphthalene grown cells did not degrade p-chlorobiphenyl, suggesting the existince of two independent degradation pathways. Isolation of JF8N, a mutant strain which can not utilize biphenyl as a carbon source while retaining the ability to utilize naphthalene, supports this hypothesis. Biphenyl grown cells of strain JF8 can degrade several polychlorinated biphenyl congeners including tetra- and pentachlorobiphenyl. bph and nah probes from mesophilic organisms failed to hybridize to strain JF8 DNA. 相似文献

从某农药厂二沉池污泥中筛选分离得到两株革兰氏阴性的芳香烃降解菌ZD41和ZD43。经鉴定,它们分别属于Comamonas testosteroni和Pseudomonas aeruginosa。基于16S rDNA 序列的系统分类分析,结果表明,在分类地位上菌株ZD41和ZD43 分别属于两个不同的分类亚组。苯酚降解产物紫外光谱扫描和双加氧酶检测证明,菌株ZD41利用邻裂途径降解苯酚,而ZD43则通过间裂途径降解苯酚,邻裂途径的1,2双加氧酶和间裂途径的2,3双加氧酶都是可诱导的双加氧酶,其活性强烈的依赖于降解底物的出现。芳香烃降解试验结果表明,邻裂和间裂两种途径的降解性能不一样,虽然ZD43降解苯酚的效率要高于菌株ZD41,但是ZD41降解苯酚的pH值范围以及芳烃利用基质谱宽于后者。 相似文献

Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases (RO) catalyze stereo- and regiospecific reactions. Recently, an explosion of structural information on this class of enzymes has occurred in the literature. ROs are two/three component systems: a reductase component that obtains electrons from NAD(P)H, often a Rieske ferredoxin component that shuttles the electrons and an oxygenase component that performs catalysis. The oxygenase component structures have all shown to be of the alpha3 or alpha3beta3 types. The transfer of electrons happens from the Rieske center to the mononuclear iron of the neighboring subunit via a conserved aspartate, which is shown to be involved in gating electron transport. Molecular oxygen has been shown to bind side-on in naphthalene dioxygenase and a concerted mechanism of oxygen activation and hydroxylation of the ring has been proposed. The orientation of binding of the substrate to the enzyme is hypothesized to control the substrate selectivity and regio-specificity of product formation. 相似文献

Sphingomonas sp. strain A4 is capable of utilizing acenaphthene and acenaphthylene as sole carbon and energy sources, but it is unable to grow on other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The genes encoding terminal oxygenase components of ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase (arhA1 and arhA2) were isolated from this strain by means of the ability to oxidize indole to indigo of the Escherichia coli clone containing electron transport proteins from phenanthrene-degrading Sphingobium sp. strain P2. The translated products of arhA1 and arhA2 exhibited moderate sequence identity (less than 56%) to large and small subunits of dioxygenase of other ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases. Biotransformation with recombinant E. coli clone revealed the broad substrate specificity of this oxygenase toward several PAHs including acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene and fluoranthene. Southern hybridization analysis revealed the presence of a putative arhA1 homologue on a locus different from that of the arhA1 gene. Insertion inactivation of the arhA1 gene in strain A4 suggested that the gene but not the putative homologue one was involved in the degradation of acenaphthene and acenaphthylene in this strain. 相似文献

The importance of five amino acids at the active site of the multicomponent naphthalene dioxygenase (NDO) system was determined
by generating site-directed mutations in various combinations. The substrate specificities of the mutant enzymes were tested
with the substrates indole, indoline, 2-nitrotoluene (2NT), naphthalene, biphenyl, and phenanthrene. Transformation of these
substrates measured the ability of the mutant enzymes to catalyze dioxygenation, monooxygenation, and desaturation reactions.
In addition, the position of oxidation and the enantiomeric composition of products were characterized. All enzymes with up
to three amino acid substitutions were able to catalyze dioxygenation reactions. A subset of these enzymes could also catalyze
the monooxygenation of 2NT and desaturation of indoline. Single amino acid substitutions at positions 352 and 206 had the
most profound effects on product formation. Of the single mutations made, only changes at position 352 affected the stereochemistry
of naphthalene cis-dihydrodiol formed from naphthalene, but in the presence of the F352I mutation, changes at positions 206 and 295 also affected
enantioselectivity. Major shifts in regioselectivity with biphenyl and phenanthrene resulted with several of the singly, doubly,
and triply mutated enzymes. A new product not formed by the wild-type enzyme, phenanthrene cis-9,10-dihydrodiol, was formed as a major product from phenanthrene by enzymes with two (A206I/F352I) or three amino acid substitutions
(A206I/F352I/H295I). The results indicate that a variety of amino acid substitutions are tolerated at the active site of NDO.
