Structure of the [NiFe]-hydrogenase maturation protein HypF from Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1.

ABSTRACT: HypF is involved in the biosynthesis of the CN ligand of the NiFe(CN)(2)CO centre of [NiFe]-hydrogenases. Here, the full-length structure of HypF from Thermococcus kodakarenesis is reported at 4.5?Å resolution. The N-terminal acylphosphatase-like (ACP) domain interacts with the zinc-finger domain with some flexibility in its relative position. Molecular-surface analysis shows that a deep pocket formed between the ACP and zinc-finger domains is highly conserved and has positive potential. These results suggest that the positively charged pocket identified is involved in the hydrolysis of carbamoyl phosphate and the formation of a carbamoyl intermediate.

Structure of [NiFe] hydrogenase maturation protein HypE from Escherichia coli and its interaction with HypF.

Project description:Hydrogenases are enzymes involved in hydrogen metabolism, utilizing H2 as an electron source. [NiFe] hydrogenases are heterodimeric Fe-S proteins, with a large subunit containing the reaction center involving Fe and Ni metal ions and a small subunit containing one or more Fe-S clusters. Maturation of the [NiFe] hydrogenase involves assembly of nonproteinaceous ligands on the large subunit by accessory proteins encoded by the hyp operon. HypE is an essential accessory protein and participates in the synthesis of two cyano groups found in the large subunit. We report the crystal structure of Escherichia coli HypE at 2.0-A resolution. HypE exhibits a fold similar to that of PurM and ThiL and forms dimers. The C-terminal catalytically essential Cys336 is internalized at the dimer interface between the N- and C-terminal domains. A mechanism for dehydration of the thiocarbamate to the thiocyanate is proposed, involving Asp83 and Glu272. The interactions of HypE and HypF were characterized in detail by surface plasmon resonance and isothermal titration calorimetry, revealing a Kd (dissociation constant) of approximately 400 nM. The stoichiometry and molecular weights of the complex were verified by size exclusion chromatography and gel scanning densitometry. These experiments reveal that HypE and HypF associate to form a stoichiometric, hetero-oligomeric complex predominantly consisting of a [EF]2 heterotetramer which exists in a dynamic equilibrium with the EF heterodimer. The surface plasmon resonance results indicate that a conformational change occurs upon heterodimerization which facilitates formation of a productive complex as part of the carbamate transfer reaction.

Characterization of a cytosolic NiFe-hydrogenase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1.

Project description:We have identified an NiFe-hydrogenase exclusively localized in the cytoplasm of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 (T. kodakaraensis hydrogenase). A gene cluster encoding T. kodakaraensis hydrogenase was composed of four open reading frames (hyhBGSL(Tk)), where the hyhS(Tk) and hyhL(Tk) gene products corresponded to the small and the large subunits of NiFe-hydrogenase, respectively. A putative open reading frame for hydrogenase-specific maturation endopeptidase (hybD(Tk)) was found downstream of the cluster. Polyclonal antibodies raised against recombinant HyhL(Tk) were used for immunoaffinity purification of T. kodakaraensis hydrogenase, leading to a 259-fold concentration of hydrogenase activity. The purified T. kodakaraensis hydrogenase was composed of four subunits (beta, gamma, delta, and alpha), corresponding to the products of hyhBGSL(Tk), respectively. Each alphabetagammadelta unit contained 0.8 mol of Ni, 22.3 mol of Fe, 21.1 mol of acid-labile sulfide, and 1.01 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide. The optimal temperature for the T. kodakaraensis hydrogenase was 95 degrees C for H(2) uptake and 90 degrees C for H(2) production with methyl viologen as the electron carrier. We found that NADP(+) and NADPH promoted high levels of uptake and evolution of H(2), respectively, suggesting that the molecule is the electron carrier for the T. kodakaraensis hydrogenase.

Distinct physiological roles of the three [NiFe]-hydrogenase orthologs in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis.

Project description:Hydrogenases catalyze the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen (H₂) and play a key role in the energy metabolism of microorganisms in anaerobic environments. The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1, which assimilates organic carbon coupled with the reduction of elemental sulfur (S⁰) or H₂ generation, harbors three gene operons encoding [NiFe]-hydrogenase orthologs, namely, Hyh, Mbh, and Mbx. In order to elucidate their functions in vivo, a gene disruption mutant for each [NiFe]-hydrogenase ortholog was constructed. The Hyh-deficient mutant (PHY1) grew well under both H₂S- and H₂-evolving conditions. H₂S generation in PHY1 was equivalent to that of the host strain, and H₂ generation was higher in PHY1, suggesting that Hyh functions in the direction of H₂ uptake in T. kodakarensis under these conditions. Analyses of culture metabolites suggested that significant amounts of NADPH produced by Hyh are used for alanine production through glutamate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase. On the other hand, the Mbh-deficient mutant (MHD1) showed no growth under H₂-evolving conditions. This fact, as well as the impaired H₂ generation activity in MHD1, indicated that Mbh is mainly responsible for H₂ evolution. The copresence of Hyh and Mbh raised the possibility of intraspecies H₂ transfer (i.e., H₂ evolved by Mbh is reoxidized by Hyh) in this archaeon. In contrast, the Mbx-deficient mutant (MXD1) showed a decreased growth rate only under H₂S-evolving conditions and exhibited a lower H₂S generation activity, indicating the involvement of Mbx in the S⁰ reduction process. This study provides important genetic evidence for understanding the physiological roles of hydrogenase orthologs in the Thermococcales.

Overproduction of the membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenase in Thermococcus kodakarensis and its effect on hydrogen production.

Project description:The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis can utilize sugars or pyruvate for growth. In the absence of elemental sulfur, the electrons via oxidation of these substrates are accepted by protons, generating molecular hydrogen (H2). The hydrogenase responsible for this reaction is a membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenase (Mbh). In this study, we have examined several possibilities to increase the protein levels of Mbh in T. kodakarensis by genetic engineering. Highest levels of intracellular Mbh levels were achieved when the promoter of the entire mbh operon (TK2080-TK2093) was exchanged to a strong constitutive promoter from the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (TK1431) (strain MHG1). When MHG1 was cultivated under continuous culture conditions using pyruvate-based medium, a nearly 25% higher specific hydrogen production rate (SHPR) of 35.3 mmol H2 g-dcw(-1) h(-1) was observed at a dilution rate of 0.31 h(-1). We also combined mbh overexpression using an even stronger constitutive promoter from the cell surface glycoprotein gene (TK0895) with disruption of the genes encoding the cytosolic hydrogenase (Hyh) and an alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT), both of which are involved in hydrogen consumption (strain MAH1). At a dilution rate of 0.30 h(-1), the SHPR was 36.2 mmol H2 g-dcw(-1) h(-1), corresponding to a 28% increase compared to that of the host T. kodakarensis strain. Increasing the dilution rate to 0.83 h(-1) or 1.07 h(-1) resulted in a SHPR of 120 mmol H2 g-dcw(-1) h(-1), which is one of the highest production rates observed in microbial fermentation.

The chromosome copy number of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1.

Project description:The euryarchaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis is a well-characterized anaerobic hyperthermophilic heterotroph and due to the availability of genetic engineering systems it has become one of the model organisms for studying Archaea. Despite this prominent role among the Euryarchaeota, no data about the ploidy level of this species is available. While polyploidy has been shown to exist in various Euryarchaeota, especially Halobacteria, the chromosome copy number of species belonging to one of the major orders within that phylum, i.e., the Thermococcales (including Thermococcus spp. and Pyrococcus spp.), has never been determined. This prompted us to investigate the chromosome copy number of T. kodakarensis. In this study, we demonstrate that T. kodakarensis is polyploid with a chromosome copy number that varies between 7 and 19 copies, depending on the growth phase. An apparent correlation between the presence of histones and polyploidy in Archaea is observed.

Proteome profiling of heat, oxidative, and salt stress responses in Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1.

Project description:The thermophilic species, Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1, a model microorganism for studying hyperthermophiles, has adapted to optimal growth under conditions of high temperature and salinity. However, the environmental conditions for the strain are not always stable, and this strain might face different stresses. In the present study, we compared the proteome response of T. kodakarensis to heat, oxidative, and salt stresses using two-dimensional electrophoresis, and protein spots were identified through MALDI-TOF/MS. Fifty-nine, forty-two, and twenty-nine spots were induced under heat, oxidative, and salt stresses, respectively. Among the up-regulated proteins, four proteins (a hypothetical protein, pyridoxal biosynthesis lyase, peroxiredoxin, and protein disulphide oxidoreductase) were associated with all three stresses. Gene ontology analysis showed that these proteins were primarily involved metabolic and cellular processes. The KEGG pathway analysis suggested that the main metabolic pathways involving these enzymes were related to carbohydrate metabolism, secondary metabolite synthesis, and amino acid biosynthesis. These data might enhance our understanding of the functions and molecular mechanisms of thermophilic Archaea for survival and adaptation in extreme environments.

Thermostable alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1 for enantioselective bioconversion of aromatic secondary alcohols.

Project description:A novel thermostable alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) showing activity toward aromatic secondary alcohols was identified from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis KOD1 (TkADH). The gene, tk0845, which encodes an aldo-keto reductase, was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was found to be a monomer with a molecular mass of 31 kDa. It was highly thermostable with an optimal temperature of 90°C and a half-life of 4.5 h at 95°C. The apparent K(m) values for the cofactors NAD(P)(+) and NADPH were similar within a range of 66 to 127 ?M. TkADH preferred secondary alcohols and accepted various ketones and aldehydes as substrates. Interestingly, the enzyme could oxidize 1-phenylethanol and its derivatives having substituents at the meta and para positions with high enantioselectivity, yielding the corresponding (R)-alcohols with optical purities of greater than 99.8% enantiomeric excess (ee). TkADH could also reduce 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone to (R)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol with high enantioselectivity (>99.6% ee). Furthermore, the enzyme showed high resistance to organic solvents and was particularly highly active in the presence of H2O-20% 2-propanol and H2O-50% n-hexane or n-octane. This ADH is expected to be a useful tool for the production of aromatic chiral alcohols.
