Identification and phylogenetic characterization of cobalamin biosynthetic genes of Ensifer adhaerens.

ABSTRACT: Ensifer adhaerens CSBa was screened as a cobalamin producer. The draft genome sequence revealed that the strain possesses 22 cobalamin biosynthetic genes (cob genes). The cob gene arrangement on the genome of E. adhaerens CSBa was similar to that of other Ensifer species, and most similar to that of Pseudomonas denitrificans SC510. The cobN sequence phylogeny was generally congruent with that of the 16S rRNA gene, and it is suggeted that E. adhaerens CSBa might have inherited the cob genes from common ancestors of the Ensifer species. It was also suggested that the cob genes can be laterally transferred.

Enhanced cobalamin biosynthesis in <i>Ensifer adhaerens</i> by regulation of key genes with gradient promoters.

Project description:Cobalamin is an essential human vitamin widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and feed additive industries and currently produced by bacteria or archaea. Ensifer adhaerens HY-1 is an industrial strain that also produces cobalamin. However production outputs are poor and the specific synthesis pathways require characterization. In this study, the whole genome sequence of E. adhaerens HY-1 was generated and annotated, and genes associated with cobalamin biosynthesis were identified. Then, three genes, CobSV, CobQ, and CobW were identified as the most efficient ones for enhancing cobalamin synthesis. By transcriptome sequencing of E. adhaerens HY-1 cells at different growth stages, 65 endogenous promoters with different gradient strengths were identified. After combined expression of different strength promoters and key genes, a high cobalamin-producing recombinant strain, 'hmm' (genotype: P metH -CobSV-P ibpA -CobQ-P mdh -CobW), was generated. Cobalamin production was 143.8 mg/L in shaking flasks, which was 41.0% higher than the original strain. Cobalamin production was further enhanced to 171.2 mg/L using fed-batch fermentation. Importantly, our data and novel approach provide important references for the analysis of cobalamin synthesis and other metabolites in complex metabolic pathways.

Characterization of the cobalamin (vitamin B12) biosynthetic genes of Salmonella typhimurium.

Project description:Salmonella typhimurium synthesizes cobalamin (vitamin B12) de novo under anaerobic conditions. Of the 30 cobalamin synthetic genes, 25 are clustered in one operon, cob, and are arranged in three groups, each group encoding enzymes for a biochemically distinct portion of the biosynthetic pathway. We have determined the DNA sequence for the promoter region and the proximal 17.1 kb of the cob operon. This sequence includes 20 translationally coupled genes that encode the enzymes involved in parts I and III of the cobalamin biosynthetic pathway. A comparison of these genes with the cobalamin synthetic genes from Pseudomonas denitrificans allows assignment of likely functions to 12 of the 20 sequenced Salmonella genes. Three additional Salmonella genes encode proteins likely to be involved in the transport of cobalt, a component of vitamin B12. However, not all Salmonella and Pseudomonas cobalamin synthetic genes have apparent homologs in the other species. These differences suggest that the cobalamin biosynthetic pathways differ between the two organisms. The evolution of these genes and their chromosomal positions is discussed.

Biodegradation of flonicamid by Ensifer adhaerens CGMCC 6315 and enzymatic characterization of the nitrile hydratases involved.

Project description:BackgroundFlonicamid (N-cyanomethyl-4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide, FLO) is a new type of pyridinamide insecticide that regulates insect growth. Because of its wide application in agricultural production and high solubility in water, it poses potential risks to aquatic environments and food chain.ResultsIn the present study, Ensifer adhaerens CGMCC 6315 was shown to efficiently transform FLO into N-(4-trifluoromethylnicotinoyl) glycinamide (TFNG-AM) via a hydration pathway mediated by two nitrile hydratases, PnhA and CnhA. In pure culture, resting cells of E. adhaerens CGMCC 6315 degraded 92% of 0.87 mmol/L FLO within 24 h at 30 °C (half-life 7.4 h). Both free and immobilized (by gel beads, using calcium alginate as a carrier) E. adhaerens CGMCC 6315 cells effectively degraded FLO in surface water. PnhA has, to our knowledge, the highest reported degradation activity toward FLO, Vmax = 88.7 U/mg (Km = 2.96 mmol/L). Addition of copper ions could increase the enzyme activity of CnhA toward FLO by 4.2-fold. Structural homology modeling indicated that residue β-Glu56 may be important for the observed significant difference in enzyme activity between PnhA and CnhA.ConclusionsApplication of E. adhaerens may be a good strategy for bioremediation of FLO in surface water. This work furthers our understanding of the enzymatic mechanisms of biodegradation of nitrile-containing insecticides and provides effective transformation strategies for microbial remediation of FLO contamination.

ArsZ from Ensifer adhaerens ST2 is a novel methylarsenite oxidase.

Project description:Trivalent methylarsenite [MAs(III)] produced by biomethylation is more toxic than inorganic arsenite [As(III)]. Hence, MAs(III) has been proposed to be a primordial antibiotic. Other bacteria evolved mechanisms to detoxify MAs(III). In this study, the molecular mechanisms of MAs(III) resistance of Ensifer adhaerens ST2 were investigated. In the chromosome of E. adhaerens ST2 is a gene encoding a protein of unknown function. Here, we show that this gene, designated arsZ, encodes a novel MAs(III) oxidase that confers resistance by oxidizing highly toxic MAs(III) to relatively nontoxic MAs(V). Two other genes, arsRK, are adjacent to arsZ but are divergently encoded in the opposite direction. Heterologous expression of arsZ in Escherichia coli confers resistance to MAs(III) but not to As(III). Purified ArsZ catalyses thioredoxin- and NAPD+ -dependent oxidation of MAs(III). Mutational analysis of ArsZ suggests that Cys59 and Cys123 are involved in the oxidation of MAs(III). Expression of arsZ, arsR and arsK genes is induced by MAs(III) and As(III) and is likely controlled by the ArsR transcriptional repressor. These results demonstrate that ArsZ is a novel MAs(III) oxidase that contributes to E. adhaerens tolerance to environmental organoarsenicals. The arsZRK operon is widely present in bacteria within the Rhizobiaceae family.
