Structural and kinetic characterization of recombinant 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida G7.

ABSTRACT: The first enzyme in the oxalocrotonate branch of the naphthalene-degradation lower pathway in Pseudomonas putida G7 is NahI, a 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde dehydrogenase which converts 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde to 2-hydroxymuconate in the presence of NAD(+). NahI is in family 8 (ALDH8) of the NAD(P)(+)-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily. In this work, we report the cloning, expression, purification and preliminary structural and kinetic characterization of the recombinant NahI. The nahI gene was subcloned into a T7 expression vector and the enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli ArcticExpress as a hexa-histidine-tagged fusion protein. After purification by affinity and size-exclusion chromatography, dynamic light scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments were conducted to analyze the oligomeric state and the overall shape of the enzyme in solution. The protein is a tetramer in solution and has nearly perfect 222 point group symmetry. Protein stability and secondary structure content were evaluated by a circular dichroism spectroscopy assay under different thermal conditions. Furthermore, kinetic assays were conducted and, for the first time, KM (1.3±0.3?M) and kcat (0.9s(-1)) values were determined at presumed NAD(+) saturation. NahI is highly specific for its biological substrate and has no activity with salicylaldehyde, another intermediate in the naphthalene-degradation pathway.

Project description:In soil, organic matter and mineral particles (soil particles; SPs) strongly influence the bio-available fraction of organic pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and the metabolic activity of bacteria. However, the effect of SPs as well as comparative approaches to discriminate the metabolic responses to PAHs from those to simple carbon sources are seldom considered in mineralization experiments, limiting our knowledge concerning the dynamics of contaminants in soil. In this study, the metabolic profile of a model PAH-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas putida G7, grown in the absence and presence of different SPs (i.e., sand, clays and humic acids), using either phenanthrene or glucose as the sole carbon and energy source, was characterized using vibrational spectroscopy (i.e., FT-Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy) and multivariate classification analysis (i.e., PLS-DA). The different type of SPs specifically altered the metabolic profile of P. putida, especially in combination with phenanthrene. In comparison to the cells grown in the absence of SPs, sand induced no remarkable change in the metabolic profile of the cells, whereas clays and humic acids affected it the most, as revealed by the higher discriminative accuracy (R 2, RMSEP and sensitivity) of the PLS-DA for those conditions. With respect to the carbon-source (phenanthrene vs. glucose), no effect on the metabolic profile was evident in the absence of SPs or in the presence of sand. On the other hand, with clays and humic acids, more pronounced spectral clusters between cells grown on glucose or on phenanthrene were evident, suggesting that these SPs modify the way cells access and metabolize PAHs. The macromolecular changes regarded mainly protein secondary structures (a shift from ?-helices to ?-sheets), amino acid levels, nucleic acid conformation and cell wall carbohydrates. Our results provide new interesting evidences that SPs specifically interact with PAHs in defining bacteria metabolic profiles and further emphasize the importance of studying the interaction of bacteria with their surrounding matrix to deeply understand PAHs degradation in soils.
