The same amino acid substitution in orthologous esterases confers organophosphate resistance on the house fly and a blowfly.

Organophosphate (OP) insecticide resistance in certain strains of Musca domestica is associated with reduction in the carboxylesterase activity of a particular esterase isozyme. This has been attributed to a 'mutant ali-esterase hypothesis', which invokes a structural mutation to an ali-esterase resulting in the loss of its carboxylesterase activity but acquisition of OP hydrolase activity. It has been shown that the mutation in Lucilia cuprina is a Gly137-->Asp substitution in the active site of an esterase encoded by the Lc alpha E7 gene (Newcomb, R.D., Campbell, P.M., Ollis, D.L., Cheah, E., Russell, R.J., Oakeshott, J.G., 1997. A single amino acid substitution converts a carboxylesterase to an organophosphate hydrolase and confers insecticide resistance on a blowfly. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94, 7464-7468). We now report the cloning and characterisation of the orthologous M. domestica Md alpha E7 gene, including the sequencing of cDNAs from the OP resistant Rutgers and OP susceptible sbo and WHO strains. The Md alpha E7 gene has the same intron structure as Lc alpha E7 and encodes a protein with 76% amino acid identity to Lc alpha E7. Comparisons between susceptible and resistance alleles show resistance in M. domestica is associated with the same Gly137-->Asp mutation as in L. cuprina. Bacterial expression of the Rutgers allele shows its product has OP hydrolase activity. The data indicate identical catalytic mechanisms have evolved in orthologous Md alpha E7 and Lc alpha E7 molecules to endow diazinon-type resistance on the two species of higher Diptera.     

Cross-linked enzyme crystals of organophosphate hydrolase for electrochemical detection of organophosphorus compounds

Cross-linked enzyme crystals of organophosphate hydrolase (CLEC-OPH) prepared from crude recombinant E. coli cell lysate was used for the development of an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of organophosphate pesticides. CLEC-OPH showed an increased V _max of 0.721 U mg protein⁻¹ and a slightly lower K _m of 0.083 mM on paraoxon compared to the crude enzyme, resulting in an improved catalytic efficiency (k _cat/K _m = 4.17 × 10⁵ M⁻¹ min⁻¹) with a remarkable increase on thermostability. An amperometric biosensor was constructed based on glutaraldehyde and albumin cross-linkage of CLEC-OPH with carbon nanotubes. The sensor exhibited greater sensitivity and operational stability with a lower limit of detection when compared with a sensor using an equivalent loading of crude OPH in a non-crystal form. The application of crude enzyme-based CLEC would offer a simple and economical approach for the fabrication of efficient electrochemical biosensors.     

The structure of G117H mutant of butyrylcholinesterase: Nerve agents scavenger

Organophosphate ester (OP) compounds are known for their ubiquitous use as insecticides. At the same time, these chemicals are highly toxic and can be used as nerve agents. G117H mutant of human Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was found to be capable of hydrolyzing certain OPs and protect against their toxicity. However, for therapeutic use, the rate of hydrolysis is too low. Its catalytic power can be improved by rational design, but the structure of the G117H mutant is first required. In this work, we determined, computationally, the three dimensional structure of the G117H BChE mutant. The structure was then validated by simulating acetylation of acetylthiocholine (ATC). Several plausible conformers of G117H BChE were examined but only the (62,?75) conformer fully reproduced catalytic effect. The (62,?75) conformer is, therefore, suggested as the structure adopted by the G117H BChE mutant. This conformer is shown to explain the loss of esterase activity observed for the G122H Acetylcholinesterase mutant together with its recovery when additional mutations are placed turning the enzyme also into an OP hydrolase. Furthermore, similarity of the structure to the structure of RNase A, which is known to hydrolyze the O? P bond in RNA, grants it further credibility and suggests a mechanism for the OP hydrolysis.

Bioremediation of pesticide contaminated water using an organophosphate degrading enzyme immobilized on nonwoven polyester textiles

Bioremediation using enzymes has become an attractive approach for removing hazardous chemicals such as organophosphate pesticides from the environment. Enzymes immobilized on solid carriers are particularly suited for such applications. In this study, the organophosphate degrading enzyme A (OpdA) was covalently immobilized on highly porous nonwoven polyester fabrics for organophosphate pesticide degradation. The fabrics were first activated with ethylenediamine to introduce free amine groups, and the enzyme was then attached using the bifunctional crosslinker glutaraldehyde. The immobilization only slightly increased the K_m (for methyl parathion, MP), broadened the pH profile such that the enzyme had significant activity at acidic pH, and enhanced the stability of the enzyme. The OpdA-functionalized fabrics could be stored in a phosphate buffer or in the dry state at 4 °C for at least 4 weeks without a large loss of activity. When used in batch mode, the functionalized textiles could degrade 20 μM MP in un-buffered water at liquor to fabric ratios as high as 5000:1 within 2 h, and could be used repeatedly. The fabrics could also be made into columns for continuous pesticide degradation. The columns were able to degrade 50 μM MP at high flow rates, and could be used repeatedly over 2 months. These results demonstrate that OpdA immobilized on nonwoven polyester fabrics is useful in environmental remediation of organophosphate compounds.     

Immobilization of organophosphate hydrolase on an amyloid fibril nanoscaffold: towards bioremediation and chemical detoxification

Organophosphate hydrolase has potential as a bioremediation and chemical detoxification enzyme, but the problems of reusability and stability need to be addressed to use this enzyme on an industrial scale. Immobilizing the enzyme to a nanoscaffold may help to solve these problems. Amyloid fibrils generated from insulin and crystallin provided a novel nanoscaffold for the immobilization of organophosphate hydrolase, using glutaraldehyde as the crosslinking reagent. Electrophoretic, centrifugation, and temperature stability experiments, together with transmission electron microscopy were undertaken to verify that crosslinking had successfully occurred. The resulting fibrils remained active towards the substrate paraoxon and when immobilized to the insulin amyloid fibrils, the enzyme exhibited a significant (～ 300%) increase in the relative temperature stability at 40, 45, and 50°C (as measured by comparing the initial enzyme activity to the activity remaining after heating), compared to free enzyme. This confirms that amyloid fibrils could provide a new type of nanoscaffold for enzyme immobilization.

Rhodococcus lactonase with organophosphate hydrolase (OPH) activity and His6-tagged OPH with lactonase activity: evolutionary proximity of the enzymes and new possibilities in their application

Decontamination of soils with complex pollution using natural strains of microorganisms is a matter of great importance. Here we report that oil-oxidizing bacteria Rhodococcus erythropolis AC-1514D and Rhodococcus ruber AC-1513D can degrade various organophosphorous pesticides (OP). Cell-mediated degradation of five different OP is apparently associated with the presence of N-acylhomoserine lactonase, which is pronouncedly similar (46–50 %) to the well-known enzyme organophosphate hydrolase (OPH), a hydrolysis catalyst for a wide variety of organophosphorous compounds. Additionally, we demonstrated the high lactonase activity of hexahistidine-tagged organophosphate hydrolase (His₆-OPH) with respect to various N-acylhomoserine lactones, and we determined the catalytic constants of His₆-OPH towards these compounds. These experimental data and theoretical analysis confirmed the hypothesis about the evolutionary proximity of OPH and lactonases. Using Rhodococcus cells, we carried out effective simultaneous biodegradation of pesticide paraoxon (88 mg/kg) and oil hydrocarbon hexadecane (6.3 g/kg) in the soil. Furthermore, the discovered high lactonase activity of His₆-OPH offers new possibilities for developing an efficient strategy of combating resistant populations of Gram-negative bacterial cells.     

Divergence of chemical function in the alkaline phosphatase superfamily: structure and mechanism of the P-C bond cleaving enzyme phosphonoacetate hydrolase

Phosphonates constitute a class of natural products that mimic the properties of the more common organophosphate ester metabolite yet are not readily degraded owing to the direct linkage of the phosphorus atom to the carbon atom. Phosphonate hydrolases have evolved to allow bacteria to utilize environmental phosphonates as a source of carbon and phosphorus. The work reported in this paper examines one such enzyme, phosphonoacetate hydrolase. By using a bioinformatic approach, we circumscribed the biological range of phosphonoacetate hydrolase to a select group of bacterial species from different classes of Proteobacteria. In addition, using gene context, we identified a novel 2-aminoethylphosphonate degradation pathway in which phosphonoacetate hydrolase is a participant. The X-ray structure of phosphonoformate-bound phosphonoacetate hydrolase was determined to reveal that this enzyme is most closely related to nucleotide pyrophosphatase/diesterase, a promiscuous two-zinc ion metalloenzyme of the alkaline phosphatase enzyme superfamily. The X-ray structure and metal ion specificity tests showed that phosphonoacetate hydrolase is also a two-zinc ion metalloenzyme. By using site-directed mutagenesis and (32)P-labeling strategies, the catalytic nucleophile was shown to be Thr64. A structure-guided, site-directed mutation-based inquiry of the catalytic contributions of active site residues identified Lys126 and Lys128 as the most likely candidates for stabilization of the aci-carboxylate dianion leaving group. A catalytic mechanism is proposed which combines Lys12/Lys128 leaving group stabilization with zinc ion activation of the Thr64 nucleophile and the substrate phosphoryl group.
