Insights into the molecular mechanism of dehalogenation catalyzed by D-2-haloacid dehalogenase from crystal structures.

ABSTRACT: D-2-haloacid dehalogenases (D-DEXs) catalyse the hydrolytic dehalogenation of D-2-haloacids, releasing halide ions and producing the corresponding 2-hydroxyacids. A structure-guided elucidation of the catalytic mechanism of this dehalogenation reaction has not been reported yet. Here, we report the catalytic mechanism of a D-DEX, HadD AJ1 from Pseudomonas putida AJ1/23, which was elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis and the H218O incorporation experiment. HadD AJ1 is an ?-helical hydrolase that forms a homotetramer with its monomer including two structurally axisymmetric repeats. The product-bound complex structure was trapped with L-lactic acid in the active site, which is framed by the structurally related helices between two repeats. Site-directed mutagenesis confirmed the importance of the residues lining the binding pocket in stabilizing the enzyme-substrate complex. Asp205 acts as a key catalytic residue and is responsible for activating a water molecule along with Asn131. Then, the hydroxyl group of the water molecule directly attacks the C2 atom of the substrate to release the halogen ion instead of forming an enzyme-substrate ester intermediate as observed in L-2-haloacid dehalogenases. The newly revealed structural and mechanistic information on D-DEX may inspire structure-based mutagenesis to engineer highly efficient haloacid dehalogenases.

Project description:Organohalogens, including monochloroacetic acid (MCA), are abundantly synthesized compounds for various industrial purposes. MCA is widely used as a raw material or as an intermediate compound for the production of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, plastics, surfactants, shampoos, liquid soaps, and emulsion agents. Nonetheless, widespread and large-scale utilization of organohalogens might negatively impact life quality as these compounds are toxic to organisms and persistently present in the environment. An effort to decrease the effect of MCA pollutant is by performing bioremediation, taking advantage of microorganisms that produce haloacid dehalogenases, a class of enzymes that catalyze the breakage of carbon halogen bonds. In this sense, we have isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae ITB1 that could degrade MCA. The haloacid dehalogenase gene from this bacterium has been successfully cloned into pGEM-T vector and subcloned into pET-30a(+) expression vector to yield pET-hakp1 recombinant clone in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE) host cell. This research aimed to find an optimum condition for producing haloacid dehalogenase from this recombinant clone using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Among the independent variables studied were the concentration of inducer, incubation temperature after the induction, and incubation period after the induction. We obtained the crude extract of the enzyme as cells' lysate after sonicating the bacterial cells. Haloacid dehalogenase activity against MCA substrate was determined by measuring the amount of chloride ions released into the medium of the enzymatic reaction using the colorimetry method, according to Bergmann and Sanik. The result indicated that the optimum condition for haloacid dehalogenase production by E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pET-hakp1 was observed when using 1.8 mM IPTG (isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) as the inducer, followed by 4 h incubation with shaking at 37 °C, which was predicted to result in a maximum of 0.48 mM chloride ions from 0.50 mM of MCA substrate. This report provides an insight into applying RSM for optimization of enzyme production from E. coli recombinant clones.
