Analysis of the biodegradative and adaptive potential of the novel polychlorinated biphenyl degrader Rhodococcus sp. WAY2 revealed by its complete genome sequence.

Project description:The complete genome sequence of Rhodococcus sp. WAY2 (WAY2) consists of a circular chromosome, three linear replicons and a small circular plasmid. The linear replicons contain typical actinobacterial invertron-type telomeres with the central CGTXCGC motif. Comparative phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene along with phylogenomic analysis based on the genome-to-genome blast distance phylogeny (GBDP) algorithm and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) with other Rhodococcus type strains resulted in a clear differentiation of WAY2, which is likely a new species. The genome of WAY2 contains five distinct clusters of bph, etb and nah genes, putatively involved in the degradation of several aromatic compounds. These clusters are distributed throughout the linear plasmids. The high sequence homology of the ring-hydroxylating subunits of these systems with other known enzymes has allowed us to model the range of aromatic substrates they could degrade. Further functional characterization revealed that WAY2 was able to grow with biphenyl, naphthalene and xylene as sole carbon and energy sources, and could oxidize multiple aromatic compounds, including ethylbenzene, phenanthrene, dibenzofuran and toluene. In addition, WAY2 was able to co-metabolize 23 polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, consistent with the five different ring-hydroxylating systems encoded by its genome. WAY2 could also use n-alkanes of various chain-lengths as a sole carbon source, probably due to the presence of alkB and ladA gene copies, which are only found in its chromosome. These results show that WAY2 has a potential to be used for the biodegradation of multiple organic compounds.

Characterization of biphenyl catabolic genes of gram-positive polychlorinated biphenyl degrader Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1.

Project description:Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1 is a gram-positive polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrader which can degrade 10 ppm of PCB48 (equivalent to Aroclor1248), including tri-, tetra-, and pentachlorobiphenyls, in a few days. We isolated the 7.6-kb EcoRI-BamHI fragment carrying the biphenyl catabolic genes of RHA1 and determined their nucleotide sequence. On the basis of deduced amino acid sequence homology, we identified six bph genes, bphA1A2A3A4, bphB, and bphC, that are responsible for the initial three steps of biphenyl degradation. The order of bph genes in RHA1 is bphA1A2A3A4-bphC-bphB. This gene order differs from that of other PCB degraders reported previously. The amino acid sequences deduced from the RHA1 bph genes have a higher degree of homology with the tod genes from Pseudomonas putida F1 (49 to 79%) than with the bph genes of Pseudomonas sp. strains KF707 and KKS102 (30 to 65%). In Escherichia coli, bphA gene activity was not observed even when expression vectors were used. The activities of bphB and bphC, however, were confirmed by observing the transformation of biphenyl to a meta-cleavage compound with the aid of benzene dioxygenase activity that complemented the bphA gene activity (S. Irie, S. Doi, T. Yorifuji, M. Takagi, and K. Yano, J. Bacteriol. 169:5174-5179, 1987). The expected products of the cloned bph genes, except bphA3, were observed in E. coli in an in vitro transcription-translation system. Insertion mutations of bphA1 and bphC of Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1 were constructed by gene replacement with cloned gene fragments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Characterization of the 450-kb linear plasmid in a polychlorinated biphenyl degrader, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1.

Project description:A strong polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrader, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1, has diverse biphenyl/PCB degradative genes and harbors huge linear plasmids, including pRHL1 (1,100 kb), pRHL2 (450 kb), and pRHL3 (330 kb). The diverse degradative genes are distributed mainly on the pRHL1 and pRHL2 plasmids. In this study, the structural and functional characteristics of pRHL2 were determined. We constructed a physical map of pRHL2, and the degradative enzyme genes, including bphB2, etbD2, etbC, bphDEF, bphC2, and bphC4, were localized in three regions. Conjugal transfer of pRHL2 between RHA1 mutant derivatives was observed at a frequency of 7.5 x 10(-5) transconjugant per recipient. These results suggested that the linear plasmid is a possible determinant of propagation of the diverse degradative genes in rhodococci. The termini of pRHL2 were cloned and sequenced. The left and right termini of pRHL2 had 3-bp perfect terminal inverted repeats and were not as similar to each other (64% identity) as the known actinomycete linear replicons are. Southern hybridization analysis with pRHL2 terminal probes suggested that the right terminus of pRHL2 is similar to pRHL1 and pRHL3 termini. Retardation of both terminal fragments in the gel shift assay indicated that each terminus of pRHL2 is linked to a protein. We suggest that pRHL2 has invertron termini, as has been reported previously for Streptomyces linear replicons.

2-Hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate metabolic pathway genes in a strong polychlorinated biphenyl degrader, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1.

Project description:A gram-positive polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrader, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1, metabolizes biphenyl through the 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate (HPD) and benzoate metabolic pathways. The HPD metabolic pathway genes, the HPD hydratase (bphE1), 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase (bphF1), and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating) (bphG) genes, were cloned from RHA1. The deduced amino acid sequences of bphGF1E1 have 30 to 58% identity with those of the HPD metabolic pathway genes of gram-negative bacteria. The order of these genes, bphG-bphF1-bphE1, differs from that of the HPD metabolic pathway genes, bphE-bphG-bphF, in gram-negative degraders of PCB, phenol, and toluene. Reverse transcription-PCR experiments indicated that the bphGF1E1 genes are inducibly cotranscribed in cells grown on biphenyl and ethylbenzene. Primer extension analysis revealed that the transcriptional initiation site exists within the bphR gene located adjacent to and upstream of bphG, which is deduced to code a transcriptional regulator. The respective enzyme activities of bphGF1E1 gene products were detected in Rhodococcus erythropolis IAM1399 carrying a bphGF1E1 plasmid. The insertional inactivation of the bphE1, bphF1, and bphG genes resulted in the loss of the corresponding enzyme activities and diminished growth on both biphenyl and ethylbenzene. Severe growth interference was observed during growth on biphenyl. The growth defects were partially restored by the introduction of plasmids containing the respective intact genes. These results indicated that the cloned bphGF1E1 genes are not only responsible for the primary metabolism of HPD during growth on both biphenyl and ethylbenzene but are also involved in preventing the accumulation of unexpected toxic metabolites, which interfere with the growth of RHA1.
