Complete genome sequence of strain 1860, a crenarchaeon of the genus Pyrobaculum able to grow with various electron acceptors.

ABSTRACT: Strain 1860, a novel member of the genus Pyrobaculum, is a hyperthermophilic organotrophic crenarchaeon growing anaerobically with various electron acceptors. The complete genome sequence reveals genes for several membrane-bound oxidoreductases, the Embden-Meyerhof and Entner-Doudoroff pathways for glucose metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the glyoxylate cycle, and the dicarboxylate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle.

Genome sequence of the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum.

Project description:We determined and annotated the complete 2.2-megabase genome sequence of Pyrobaculum aerophilum, a facultatively aerobic nitrate-reducing hyperthermophilic (T(opt) = 100 degrees C) crenarchaeon. Clues were found suggesting explanations of the organism's surprising intolerance to sulfur, which may aid in the development of methods for genetic studies of the organism. Many interesting features worthy of further genetic studies were revealed. Whole genome computational analysis confirmed experiments showing that P. aerophilum (and perhaps all crenarchaea) lack 5' untranslated regions in their mRNAs and thus appear not to use a ribosome-binding site (Shine-Dalgarno)-based mechanism for translation initiation at the 5' end of transcripts. Inspection of the lengths and distribution of mononucleotide repeat-tracts revealed some interesting features. For instance, it was seen that mononucleotide repeat-tracts of Gs (or Cs) are highly unstable, a pattern expected for an organism deficient in mismatch repair. This result, together with an independent study on mutation rates, suggests a "mutator" phenotype.

Transcriptional map of respiratory versatility in the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum.

Project description:Hyperthermophilic crenarchaea in the genus Pyrobaculum are notable for respiratory versatility, but relatively little is known about the genetics or regulation of crenarchaeal respiratory pathways. We measured global gene expression in Pyrobaculum aerophilum cultured with oxygen, nitrate, arsenate and ferric iron as terminal electron acceptors to identify transcriptional patterns that differentiate these pathways. We also compared genome sequences for four closely related species with diverse respiratory characteristics (Pyrobaculum arsenaticum, Pyrobaculum calidifontis, Pyrobaculum islandicum, and Thermoproteus neutrophilus) to identify genes associated with different respiratory capabilities. Specific patterns of gene expression in P. aerophilum were associated with aerobic respiration, nitrate respiration, arsenate respiration, and anoxia. Functional predictions based on these patterns include separate cytochrome oxidases for aerobic growth and oxygen scavenging, a nitric oxide-responsive transcriptional regulator, a multicopper oxidase involved in denitrification, and an archaeal arsenate respiratory reductase. We were unable to identify specific genes for iron respiration, but P. aerophilum exhibited repressive transcriptional responses to iron remarkably similar to those controlled by the ferric uptake regulator in bacteria. Together, these analyses present a genome-scale view of crenarchaeal respiratory flexibility and support a large number of functional and regulatory predictions for further investigation. The complete gene expression data set can be viewed in genomic context with the Archaeal Genome Browser at archaea.ucsc.edu.

NADP-Dependent Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Archaeon <i>Pyrobaculum sp.1860</i>: Structural and Functional Features.

Project description:We present the functional and structural characterization of the first archaeal thermostable NADP-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase AlDHPyr1147. In vitro, AlDHPyr1147 catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of short aliphatic aldehydes at 60-85°С, and the affinity of AlDHPyr1147 to the NADP+ at 60°С is comparable to that for mesophilic analogues at 25°С. We determined the structures of the apo form of AlDHPyr1147 (3.04 Å resolution), three binary complexes with the coenzyme (1.90, 2.06, and 2.19 Å), and the ternary complex with the coenzyme and isobutyraldehyde as a substrate (2.66 Å). The nicotinamide moiety of the coenzyme is disordered in two binary complexes, while it is ordered in the ternary complex, as well as in the binary complex obtained after additional soaking with the substrate. AlDHPyr1147 structures demonstrate the strengthening of the dimeric contact (as compared with the analogues) and the concerted conformational flexibility of catalytic Cys287 and Glu253, as well as Leu254 and the nicotinamide moiety of the coenzyme. A comparison of the active sites of AlDHPyr1147 and dehydrogenases characterized earlier suggests that proton relay systems, which were previously proposed for dehydrogenases of this family, are blocked in AlDHPyr1147, and the proton release in the latter can occur through the substrate channel.

Structural and functional features of an NDP kinase from the hyperthermophile crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum.

Project description:Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinases are ubiquitous enzymes that transfer gamma-phosphates from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates via a ping-pong mechanism. The important role of this large family of enzymes in controlling cellular functions and developmental processes along with their crystallizability has made them good candidates for structural studies. We recently determined the structure of an evolved version of an NDP kinase from Pyrobaculum aerophilum, an extreme thermophile. This NDP kinase has similarity to the 42 other NDP kinases deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) but differs significantly in sequence, structure, and biophysical properties. The P. aerophilum NDP kinase sequence contains two unique segments not present in other NDP kinases, comprising residues 66-100 and 156-165. We show that deletion mutants of the P. aerophilum NDP kinase lacking either or both of these inserts have an altered substrate specificity, allowing dGTP as the phosphate donor. A structural analysis of the evolved NDP kinase in conjunction with mutagenesis experiments suggests that the substrate specificity of the P. aerophilum NDP kinase is related to the presence of these two inserts.

Transcriptional analysis of respiratory pathways in the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum aerophilum

Project description:We compared global transcriptional patterns in Pyrobaculum aerophilum cultures with oxygen, nitrate, arsenate and ferric iron as respiratory electron acceptors to identify genes and regulatory patterns that differentiate these pathways. Keywords: Time course study with different respiratory electron acceptors To focus the microarrays on genes that are specifically affected by changes in terminal electron acceptors we analyzed gene expression in time courses with cultures shifted from aerobic growth to either NO3-, As(V), Fe(III)-citrate, or additional O2. Gene expression and substrate usage were measured at three time points (2.5, 4.5, and 7.5 hours), allowing sufficient time for changes in gene expression, while restricting cultures to a maximum of one or two cell divisions.

Cloning and characterization of a family B DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum islandicum.

Project description:In order to extend the limited knowledge about crenarchaeal DNA polymerases, we cloned a gene encoding a family B DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Pyrobaculum islandicum. The enzyme shared highest sequence identities with a group of phylogenetically related DNA polymerases, designated B3 DNA polymerases, from members of the kingdom Crenarchaeota, Pyrodictium occultum and Aeropyrum pernix, and several members of the kingdom Euryarchaeota. Six highly conserved regions as well as a DNA-binding motif, indicative of family B DNA polymerases, were identified within the sequence. Furthermore, three highly conserved 3'-5' exonuclease motifs were also found. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the DNA polymerase was purified to homogeneity by heat treatment and affinity chromatography. Activity staining after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed an active polypeptide of approximately 90 kDa. For the recombinant DNA polymerase from P. islandicum, activated calf thymus DNA was used as a substrate rather than primed single-stranded DNA. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by monovalent cations and N-ethylmaleimide; it is moderately sensitive to aphidicolin and dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. The half-life of the enzyme at 100 and 90 degrees C was 35 min and >5 h, respectively. Interestingly, the pH of the assay buffer had a significant influence on the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of the recombinant enzyme. Under suitable assay conditions for PCR, the enzyme was able to amplify lambda DNA fragments of up to 1,500 bp.

The reaction of mitochondrial L-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase with various electron acceptors.

Project description:1. The kinetics of the reaction of glycerophosphate dehydrogenase with a variety of electron acceptors have been investigated. 2. In all cases the reaction mechanism appears to involve a free modified-enzyme intermediate. 3. With some electron acceptors, the maximum velocity of the reaction and the K(m) for glycerophosphate are independent of the nature of the electron acceptor, whereas in other cases this is not so. 4. The reaction mechanism of the enzyme extracted with phospholipase A instead of with Triton X-100 is of a similar type.
