Relationship Between Main Channel Structure of Catalases and the Evolutionary Direction in Cold-Adapted Hydrogen Peroxide-Tolerant Exiguobacteium and Psychrobacter.

ABSTRACT: Catalase has crucial role in adaptive response to H₂O₂. Main channel structure responsible for substrate selectivity was estimated to understand the relationship between the evolutionary direction of catalases from Exiguobacterium oxidotolerans and Psychrobacter piscatorii which survive in cold and high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, and their catalytic property. E. oxidotolerans catalase (EKTA) exhibited a higher ratio of compound I formation rate using peracetic acid (a substrate lager than H₂O₂)/catalase activity using H₂O₂ as the substrate than P. piscatori catalase (PKTA). It was considered that the ratio was attributed to the size of the amino acid residues locating at the bottle neck structure in the main channel. The differences in the ratio of the compound I formation rate with peracetic acid to catalase activity with H₂O₂ between the deeper branches in the phylogenetic tree in both EKTA and PKTA were large. This indicates that catalases from the hydrogen peroxide-tolerant bacteria have evolved in different directions, exhibiting effective catalytic activity and allowing broader substrates size or H₂O₂-specific substrate acceptability in EKTA and PKTA, respectively. It is considered that the main channel structure reflected the difference in the evolutionary direction of clade 1 and clade 3 catalases.

A Novel Cold-Adapted and Salt-Tolerant RNase R from Antarctic Sea-Ice Bacterium Psychrobacter sp. ANT206.

Project description:A novel RNase R, psrnr, was cloned from the Antarctic bacterium Psychrobacter sp. ANT206 and expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli). A bioinformatics analysis of the psrnr gene revealed that it contained an open reading frame of 2313 bp and encoded a protein (PsRNR) of 770 amino acids. Homology modeling indicated that PsRNR had reduced hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, which might be the main reason for the catalytic efficiency at low temperatures. A site directed mutation exhibited that His 667 in the active site was absolutely crucial for the enzyme catalysis. The recombinant PsRNR (rPsRNR) showed maximum activity at 30 °C and had thermal instability, suggesting that rPsRNR was a cold-adapted enzyme. Interestingly, rPsRNR displayed remarkable salt tolerance, remaining stable at 0.5-3.0 M NaCl. Furthermore, rPsRNR had a higher kcat value, contributing to its efficient catalytic activity at a low temperature. Overall, cold-adapted RNase R in this study was an excellent candidate for antimicrobial treatment.

A New Cold-Adapted and Salt-Tolerant Glutathione Reductase from Antarctic Psychrophilic Bacterium Psychrobacter sp. and Its Resistance to Oxidation.

Project description:A new glutathione reductase gene (psgr) coding for glutathione reductase (GR) from an Antarctic bacterium was cloned and overexpressed into Escherichia coli (E. coli). A sequence analysis revealed that PsGR is a protein consisting of 451 amino acids, and homology modeling demonstrated that PsGR has fewer hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, which might lead to improved conformational flexibility at low temperatures. PsGR possesses the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) binding motifs. Recombinant PsGR (rPsGR) was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and was found to have a molecular mass of approximately 53.5 kDa. rPsGR was found to be optimally active at 25 °C and a pH of 7.5. It was found to be a cold-adapted enzyme, with approximately 42% of its optimal activity remaining at 0 °C. Moreover, rPsGR was most active in 1.0 M NaCl and 62.5% of its full activity remained in 3.0 M NaCl, demonstrating its high salt tolerance. Furthermore, rPsGR was found to have a higher substrate affinity for NADPH than for GSSG (oxidized glutathione). rPsGR provided protection against peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress in recombinant cells, and displayed potential application as an antioxidant protein. The results of the present study provide a sound basis for the study of the structural characteristics and catalytic characterization of cold-adapted GR.

Crystal structure of the cold-adapted haloalkane dehalogenase DpcA from Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5.

Project description:Haloalkane dehalogenases (HLDs) convert halogenated aliphatic pollutants to less toxic compounds by a hydrolytic mechanism. Owing to their broad substrate specificity and high enantioselectivity, haloalkane dehalogenases can function as biosensors to detect toxic compounds in the environment or can be used for the production of optically pure compounds. Here, the structural analysis of the haloalkane dehalogenase DpcA isolated from the psychrophilic bacterium Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5 is presented at the atomic resolution of 1.05 Å. This enzyme exhibits a low temperature optimum, making it attractive for environmental applications such as biosensing at the subsurface environment, where the temperature typically does not exceed 25°C. The structure revealed that DpcA possesses the shortest access tunnel and one of the most widely open main tunnels among structural homologs of the HLD-I subfamily. Comparative analysis revealed major differences in the region of the α4 helix of the cap domain, which is one of the key determinants of the anatomy of the tunnels. The crystal structure of DpcA will contribute to better understanding of the structure-function relationships of cold-adapted enzymes.

Catalases Induction in High Virulence Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus under Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Stress.

Project description:Considered an EPPO A2 quarantine pest, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease and the most devastating plant parasitic nematode attacking coniferous trees in the world. In the early stages of invasion, this nematode has to manage host defence mechanisms, such as strong oxidative stress. Only successful, virulent nematodes are able to tolerate the basal plant defences, and furthermore migrate and proliferate inside of the host tree. In this work, our main objective was to understand to what extent B. xylophilus catalases are involved in their tolerance to oxidative stress and virulence, using as oxidant agent the reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). After 24 hours of exposure, high virulence isolates of B. xylophilus could withstand higher H2O2 concentrations in comparison with low virulence B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus, corroborating our observation of Bxy-ctl-1 and Bxy-ctl-2 catalase up-regulation under the same experimental conditions. Both catalases are expressed throughout the nematode intestine. In addition, transgenic strains of Caenorhabditis elegans overexpressing B. xylophilus catalases were constructed and evaluated for survival under similar conditions as previously. Our results suggest that catalases of high virulence B. xylophilus were crucial for nematode survival under prolonged exposure to in vitro oxidative stress, highlighting their adaptive response, which could contribute to their success in host conditions.

The stringent response controls catalases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is required for hydrogen peroxide and antibiotic tolerance.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a human opportunistic pathogen, possesses a number of antioxidant defense enzymes under the control of multiple regulatory systems. We recently reported that inactivation of the P. aeruginosa stringent response (SR), a starvation stress response controlled by the alarmone (p)ppGpp, caused impaired antioxidant defenses and antibiotic tolerance. Since catalases are key antioxidant enzymes in P. aeruginosa, we compared the levels of H2O2 susceptibility and catalase activity in P. aeruginosa wild-type and ?relA ?spoT (?SR) mutant cells. We found that the SR was required for optimal catalase activity and mediated H2O2 tolerance during both planktonic and biofilm growth. Upon amino acid starvation, induction of the SR upregulated catalase activity. Full expression of katA and katB also required the SR, and this regulation occurred through both RpoS-independent and RpoS-dependent mechanisms. Furthermore, overexpression of katA was sufficient to restore H2O2 tolerance and to partially rescue the antibiotic tolerance of ?SR cells. All together, these results suggest that the SR regulates catalases and that this is an important mechanism in protecting nutrient-starved and biofilm bacteria from H2O2- and antibiotic-mediated killing.

The Strong Cell-based Hydrogen Peroxide Generation Triggered by Cold Atmospheric Plasma.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important signaling molecule in cancer cells. However, the significant secretion of H2O2 by cancer cells have been rarely observed. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a near room temperature ionized gas composed of neutral particles, charged particles, reactive species, and electrons. Here, we first demonstrated that breast cancer cells and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells generated micromolar level H2O2 during just 1 min of direct CAP treatment on these cells. The cell-based H2O2 generation is affected by the medium volume, the cell confluence, as well as the discharge voltage. The application of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in cancer treatment has been intensively investigated over the past decade. Several cellular responses to CAP treatment have been observed including the consumption of the CAP-originated reactive species, the rise of intracellular reactive oxygen species, the damage on DNA and mitochondria, as well as the activation of apoptotic events. This is a new previously unknown cellular response to CAP, which provides a new prospective to understand the interaction between CAP and cells in vitro and in vivo. The short-lived reactive species in CAP may activate cells in vivo to generate long-lived reactive species such as H2O2, which may trigger immune attack on tumorous tissues via the H2O2-mediated lymphocyte activation.

Genomic Architecture of the Two Cold-Adapted Genera Exiguobacterium and Psychrobacter: Evidence of Functional Reduction in the Exiguobacterium antarcticum B7 Genome.

Project description:Exiguobacterium and Psychrobacter are bacterial genera with several cold-adapted species. These extremophiles are commonly isolated from the same habitats in Earth's cryosphere and have great ecological and biotechnological relevance. Thus, through comparative genomic analyses, it was possible to understand the functional diversity of these psychrotrophic and psychrophilic species and present new insights into the microbial adaptation to cold. The nucleotide identity between Exiguobacterium genomes was >90%. Three genomic islands were identified in the E. antarcticum B7 genome. These islands contained genes involved in flagella biosynthesis and chemotaxis, as well as enzymes for carotenoid biosynthesis. Clustering of cold shock proteins by Ka/Ks ratio suggests the occurrence of a positive selection over these genes. Neighbor-joining clustering of complete genomes showed that the E. sibiricum was the most closely related to E. antarcticum. A total of 92 genes were shared between Exiguobacterium and Psychrobacter. A reduction in the genomic content of E. antarcticum B7 was observed. It presented the smallest genome size of its genus and a lower number of genes because of the loss of many gene families compared with the other genomes. In our study, eight genomes of Exiguobacterium and Psychrobacter were compared and analysed. Psychrobacter showed higher genomic plasticity and E. antarcticum B7 presented a large decrease in genomic content without changing its ability to grow in cold environments.

Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide

Project description:Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is profiled with expression arrays. Adaptation describes the process in which a mild dose of toxin (in this case, hydrogen peroxide) is able to protect against a later acute dose. Here, we study two adaptive protocols (0.1 mM H2O2 and 0.1 + 0.4 mM H2O2) and one acute protocol (0.4 mM H2O2) to identify processes uniquely involved in adaptation. Predictions from these studies are validated in expression profiling of deletion mutants of the transcription factors Yap1, Mga2, and Rox1.

Environmental systems biology of cold-tolerant phenotype in Saccharomyces species adapted to grow at different temperatures.

Project description:Temperature is one of the leading factors that drive adaptation of organisms and ecosystems. Remarkably, many closely related species share the same habitat because of their different temporal or micro-spatial thermal adaptation. In this study, we seek to find the underlying molecular mechanisms of the cold-tolerant phenotype of closely related yeast species adapted to grow at different temperatures, namely S. kudriavzevii CA111 (cryo-tolerant) and S. cerevisiae 96.2 (thermo-tolerant). Using two different systems approaches, i. thermodynamic-based analysis of a genome-scale metabolic model of S. cerevisiae and ii. large-scale competition experiment of the yeast heterozygote mutant collection, genes and pathways important for the growth at low temperature were identified. In particular, defects in lipid metabolism, oxidoreductase and vitamin pathways affected yeast fitness at cold. Combining the data from both studies, a list of candidate genes was generated and mutants for two predicted cold-favouring genes, GUT2 and ADH3, were created in two natural isolates. Compared with the parental strains, these mutants showed lower fitness at cold temperatures, with S. kudriavzevii displaying the strongest defect. Strikingly, in S. kudriavzevii, these mutations also significantly improve the growth at warm temperatures. In addition, overexpression of ADH3 in S. cerevisiae increased its fitness at cold. These results suggest that temperature-induced redox imbalances could be compensated by increased glycerol accumulation or production of cytosolic acetaldehyde through the deletion of GUT2 or ADH3, respectively.
