Heterologous expression of Pleurotus eryngii peroxidase confirms its ability to oxidize Mn(2+) and different aromatic substrates.

ABSTRACT: A versatile ligninolytic peroxidase has been cloned from Pleurotus eryngii and its allelic variant MnPL2 expressed in Aspergillus nidulans, with properties similar to those of the mature enzyme from P. eryngii. These include the ability to oxidize Mn(2+) and aromatic substrates, confirming that this is a new peroxidase type sharing catalytic properties of lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase.

Two oxidation sites for low redox potential substrates: a directed mutagenesis, kinetic, and crystallographic study on Pleurotus eryngii versatile peroxidase.

Project description:Versatile peroxidase shares with manganese peroxidase and lignin peroxidase the ability to oxidize Mn(2+) and high redox potential aromatic compounds, respectively. Moreover, it is also able to oxidize phenols (and low redox potential dyes) at two catalytic sites, as shown by biphasic kinetics. A high efficiency site (with 2,6-dimethoxyphenol and p-hydroquinone catalytic efficiencies of ∼70 and ∼700 s(-1) mM(-1), respectively) was localized at the same exposed Trp-164 responsible for high redox potential substrate oxidation (as shown by activity loss in the W164S variant). The second site, characterized by low catalytic efficiency (∼3 and ∼50 s(-1) mM(-1) for 2,6-dimethoxyphenol and p-hydroquinone, respectively) was localized at the main heme access channel. Steady-state and transient-state kinetics for oxidation of phenols and dyes at the latter site were improved when side chains of residues forming the heme channel edge were removed in single and multiple variants. Among them, the E140G/K176G, E140G/P141G/K176G, and E140G/W164S/K176G variants attained catalytic efficiencies for oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) at the heme channel similar to those of the exposed tryptophan site. The heme channel enlargement shown by x-ray diffraction of the E140G, P141G, K176G, and E140G/K176G variants would allow a better substrate accommodation near the heme, as revealed by the up to 26-fold lower K(m) values (compared with native VP). The resulting interactions were shown by the x-ray structure of the E140G-guaiacol complex, which includes two H-bonds of the substrate with Arg-43 and Pro-139 in the distal heme pocket (at the end of the heme channel) and several hydrophobic interactions with other residues and the heme cofactor.

Regulation of peroxidase transcript levels in liquid cultures of the ligninolytic fungus Pleurotus eryngii.

Project description:A versatile peroxidase able to oxidize Mn(2+) as well as phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic compounds is produced in peptone-containing liquid cultures of Pleurotus eryngii encoded by the gene mnpl. The regulation of its transcript levels was investigated by Northern blotting of total RNA. High-peroxidase transcripts and activity were found in cultures grown in glucose-peptone medium, whereas only basal levels were detected in glucose-ammonium medium. The addition of more than 25 microM Mn(2+) to the former medium did not result in detectable peroxidase transcripts or activity. Potential regulators were also added to isolated mycelium. In this way, it was shown that high transcript levels (in peroxidase-expressing mycelium) were maintained on peptone, whereas expression was not induced in short-term incubation experiments. Similar results were obtained with Mn(2+) ions. Strong induction of mnpl expression was caused by exogenous H(2)O(2) or by continuous H(2)O(2) generation during redox cycling of menadione. By the use of the latter system in the presence of Fe(3+), which catalyzes the reduction of H(2)O(2) to hydroxyl radical, it was shown for the first time that the presence of this strong oxidant causes a rapid increase of the transcripts of a ligninolytic peroxidase. In conclusion, peptone and Mn(2+) affect the levels of transcripts of this versatile peroxidase in culture, and reduced oxygen species induce short-term expression in isolated mycelium, probably via a stress response mechanism.

Identification, heterologous expression and characterization of a dye-decolorizing peroxidase of Pleurotus sapidus.

Project description:The coding sequence of a peroxidase from the secretome of Pleurotus sapidus was cloned from a cDNA library. Bioinformatic analyses revealed an open reading frame of 1551 bp corresponding to a primary translation product of 516 amino acids. The DyP-type peroxidase was heterologously produced in Trichoderma reesei with an activity of 55,000 U L-1. The enzyme was purified from the culture supernatant, biochemically characterized and the kinetic parameters were determined. The enzyme has an N-terminal signal peptide composed of 62 amino acids. Analysis by Blue Native PAGE and activity staining with ABTS, as well as gel filtration chromatography showed the native dimeric state of the enzyme (115 kDa). Analysis of the substrate range revealed that the recombinant enzyme catalyzes, in addition to the conversion of some classic peroxidase substrates such as 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylthiazoline-6-sulfonate) and substituted phenols like 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, also the decolorization of the anthraquinonic dye Reactive Blue 5. The enzyme also catalyzes bleaching of natural colorants such as β-carotene and annatto. Surprisingly, β-carotene was transformed in the presence and absence of H2O2 by rPsaDyP, however enzyme activity was increased by the addition of H2O2. This indicates that the rPsaDyP has an oxidase function in addition to a peroxidase activity. As a consequence of the high affinity to the characteristic substrate Reactive Blue 5 the rPsaDyP belongs functionally to the dyp-type peroxidase family.
