Versatile Oxidase and Dehydrogenase Activities of Bacterial Pyranose 2-Oxidase Facilitate Redox Cycling with Manganese Peroxidase In Vitro.

ABSTRACT: Pyranose 2-oxidase (POx) has long been accredited a physiological role in lignin degradation, but evidence to provide insights into the biochemical mechanisms and interactions is insufficient. There are ample data in the literature on the oxidase and dehydrogenase activities of POx, yet the biological relevance of this duality could not be established conclusively. Here we present a comprehensive biochemical and phylogenetic characterization of a novel pyranose 2-oxidase from the actinomycetous bacterium Kitasatospora aureofaciens (KaPOx) as well as a possible biomolecular synergism of this enzyme with peroxidases using phenolic model substrates in vitro A phylogenetic analysis of both fungal and bacterial putative POx-encoding sequences revealed their close evolutionary relationship and supports a late horizontal gene transfer of ancestral POx sequences. We successfully expressed and characterized a novel bacterial POx gene from K. aureofaciens, one of the putative POx genes closely related to well-known fungal POx genes. Its biochemical characteristics comply with most of the classical hallmarks of known fungal pyranose 2-oxidases, i.e., reactivity with a range of different monosaccharides as electron donors as well as activity with oxygen, various quinones, and complexed metal ions as electron acceptors. Thus, KaPOx shows the pronounced duality of oxidase and dehydrogenase similar to that of fungal POx. We further performed efficient redox cycling of aromatic lignin model compounds between KaPOx and manganese peroxidase (MnP). In addition, we found a Mn(III) reduction activity in KaPOx, which, in combination with its ability to provide H2O2, implies this and potentially other POx as complementary enzymatic tools for oxidative lignin degradation by specialized peroxidases.IMPORTANCE Establishment of a mechanistic synergism between pyranose oxidase and (manganese) peroxidases represents a vital step in the course of elucidating microbial lignin degradation. Here, the comprehensive characterization of a bacterial pyranose 2-oxidase from Kitasatospora aureofaciens is of particular interest for several reasons. First, the phylogenetic analysis of putative pyranose oxidase genes reveals a widespread occurrence of highly similar enzymes in bacteria. Still, there is only a single report on a bacterial pyranose oxidase, stressing the need of closing this gap in the scientific literature. In addition, the relatively small K. aureofaciens proteome supposedly supplies a limited set of enzymatic functions to realize lignocellulosic biomass degradation. Both enzyme and organism therefore present a viable model to study the mechanisms of bacterial lignin decomposition, elucidate physiologically relevant interactions with specialized peroxidases, and potentially realize biotechnological applications.

Project description:Pyranose dehydrogenases (PDHs; EC 1.1.99.29; AA3_2) demonstrate ability to oxidize diverse carbohydrates. Previous studies of these enzymes have also uncovered substrate-dependent regioselectivity, along with potential to introduce more than one carbonyl into carbohydrate substrates. Enzymatic oxidation of carbohydrates facilitates their further derivatization or polymerization into bio-based chemicals and materials with higher value; accordingly, PDHs that show activity on xylooligosaccharides could offer a viable approach to extract higher value from hemicelluloses that are typically fragmented during biomass processing. In this study, AbPDH1 from Agaricus bisporus and AmPDH1 from Leucoagaricus meleagris were tested using linear xylooligosaccharides, along with xylooligosaccharides substituted with either arabinofuranosyl or 4-O-(methyl)glucopyranosyluronic acid residues with degree of polymerization of two to five. Reaction products were characterized by HPAEC-PAD to follow substrate depletion, UPLC-MS-ELSD to quantify the multiple oxidation products, and ESI-MSn to reveal oxidized positions. A versatile method based on product reduction using sodium borodeuteride, and applicable to carbohydrate oxidoreductases in general, was established to facilitate the identification and quantification of oxidized products. AbPDH1 activity toward the tested xylooligosaccharides was generally higher than that measured for AmPDH1. In both cases, activity values decreased with increasing length of the xylooligosaccharide and when using acidic rather than neutral substrates; however, AbPDH1 fully oxidized all linear xylooligosaccharides, and 60-100% of all substituted xylooligosaccharides, after 24 h under the tested reaction conditions. Oxidation of linear xylooligosaccharides mostly led to double oxidized products, whereas single oxidized products dominated in reactions containing substituted xylooligosaccharides. Notably, oxidation of specific secondary hydroxyls vs. the reducing end C-1 depended on both the enzyme and the substrate. For all substrates, however, oxidation by both AbPDH1 and AmPDH1 was clearly restricted to the reducing and non-reducing xylopyranosyl residues, where increasing the length of the xylooligosaccharide did not lead to detectable oxidation of internal xylopyranosyl substituents. This detailed analysis of AbPDH1 and AmPDH1 action on diverse xylooligosaccharides reveals an opportunity to synthesize bifunctional molecules directly from hemicellulose fragments, and to enrich for specific products through appropriate PDH selection.
