Quinohaemoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase apoenzyme from Pseudomonas testosteroni.

ABSTRACT: Cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas testosteroni, grown on alcohols, contain quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase apoenzyme, as was demonstrated by the detection of dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activity after the addition of PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone). The apoenzyme was purified to homogeneity, and the holoenzyme was characterized. Primary alcohols (except methanol), secondary alcohols and aldehydes were substrates, and a broad range of dyes functioned as artificial electron acceptor. Optimal activity was observed at pH 7.7, and the presence of Ca2+ in the assay appeared to be essential for activity. The apoenzyme was found to be a monomer (Mr 67,000 +/- 5000), with an absorption spectrum similar to that of oxidized cytochrome c. After reconstitution to the holoenzyme by the addition of PQQ, addition of substrate changed the absorption spectrum to that of reduced cytochrome c, indicating that the haem c group participated in the enzymic mechanism. The enzyme contained one haem c group, and full reconstitution was achieved with 1 mol of PQQ/mol. In view of the aberrant properties, it is proposed to distinguish the enzyme from the common quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases by using the name 'quinohaemoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase'. Incorporation of PQQ into the growth medium resulted in a significant shortening of lag time and increase in growth rate. Therefore PQQ appears to be a vitamin for this organism during growth on alcohols, reconstituting the apoenzyme to a functional holoenzyme.

Quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase from ethanol-grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, grown on ethanol, showed dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activities. The enzyme responsible for this activity was purified to homogeneity. It appeared to contain two molecules of pyrroloquinoline quinone per enzyme molecule. In many respects, it resembled other quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases (EC 1.1.99.8), having a substrate specificity intermediate between that of methanol dehydrogenases and ethanol dehydrogenases in this group. On the other hand, it also showed dissimilarities: the enzyme was found to be a monomer (Mr 101 000), to need only one molecule of the suicide substrate cyclopropanol to become fully inactivated, and to have a different aromatic amino acid composition.

Cloning, sequencing, and expression of the Pseudomonas testosteroni gene encoding 3-oxosteroid delta 1-dehydrogenase.

Project description:Pseudomonas testosteroni ATCC 17410 is able to grow on testosterone. This strain was mutagenized by Tn5, and 41 mutants defective in the utilization of testosterone were isolated. One of them, called mutant 06, expressed 3-oxosteroid delta 1- and 3-oxosteroid delta 4-5 alpha-dehydrogenases only at low levels. The DNA region around the Tn5 insertion in mutant 06 was cloned into pUC19, and the 1-kbp EcoRI-BamHI segment neighbor to the Tn5 insertion was used to probe DNA from the wild-type strain. The probe hybridized to a 7.8-kbp SalI fragment. Plasmid pTES5, which is a pUC19 derivative containing this 7.8-kbp SalI fragment, was isolated after the screening by the 1-kbp EcoRI-BamHI probe. This plasmid expressed delta 1-dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli cells. The 2.2-kbp KpnI-KpnI segment of pTES5 was subcloned into pUC18, and pTEK21 was constructed. In E. coli containing the lacIq plasmid pRG1 and pTEK21, the expression of delta 1-dehydrogenase was induced by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The induced level was about 40 times higher than the induced level in P. testosteroni. Delta 1-Dehydrogenase synthesized in E. coli was localized in the inner membrane fraction. The minicell experiments showed that a 59-kDa polypeptide was synthesized from pTEK21, and this polypeptide was located in the inner membrane fraction. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 2.2-kbp KpnI-KpnI segment of pTEK21 was determined. An open reading frame which encodes a 62.4-kDa polypeptide and which is preceded by a Shine-Dalgarno-like sequence was identified. The first 44 amino acids of the putative product exhibited significant sequence similarity to the N-terminal sequences of lipoamide dehydrogenases.

Michael hydratase alcohol dehydrogenase or just alcohol dehydrogenase?

Project description:The Michael hydratase - alcohol dehydrogenase (MhyADH) from Alicycliphilus denitrificans was previously identified as a bi-functional enzyme performing a hydration of ?,?-unsaturated ketones and subsequent oxidation of the formed alcohols. The investigations of the bi-functionality were based on a spectrophotometric assay and an activity staining in a native gel of the dehydrogenase. New insights in the recently discovered organocatalytic Michael addition of water led to the conclusion that the previously performed experiments to identify MhyADH as a bi-functional enzyme and their results need to be reconsidered and the reliability of the methodology used needs to be critically evaluated.

The characterization of a short chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDRx) in Comamonas testosteroni.

Project description:C. testosteroni is a research topic that can degrade steroid hormones into water and carbon dioxide through a series of enzymes in the body. Short-chain dehydrogenase (SDR) are a class of NAD (P) H-dependent oxidoreductases in C. testosteroni. Its main function is catalyzing the redox of the hydroxyl/ketone group of the hormone. In this paper, a SDR gene(SDRx) is cloned from C. testosteroni ATCC11996 and expressed. The polyclonal antibody was prepared and the SDRx gene knocked out by homologous recombination. Wild type and mutant C. testosteroni induced by testosterone, estradiol, estrone and estriol. The growth curves of the bacteria were measured by spectrophotometer. ELISA established the expression of SDRx protein, and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) detected the contents of various hormones. The results show that the growth of wild type was faster than mutant type induced by testosterone. The concentration of SDRx is 0.318?mg/ml under testosterone induction. It has a great change in steroid hormones residue in culture medium measured by HPLC: Testosterone residue in the mutant type group was 42.4 % more than the wild type in culture medium. The same thing happens with induced by estrone. In summary, this SDRx gene involved in the degradation of testosterone and estradiol, and effects the growth of C. testosteroni.

The ternary complex of Pseudomonas aeruginosa alcohol dehydrogenase with NADH and ethylene glycol.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa alcohol dehydrogenase (PaADH; ADH, EC 1.1.1.1) catalyzes the reversible oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones, using NAD as coenzyme. We crystallized the ternary complex of PaADH with its coenzyme and a substrate molecule and determined its structure at a resolution of 2.3 A, using the molecular replacement method. The PaADH tetramer comprises four identical chains of 342 amino acid residues each and obeys ~222-point symmetry. The PaADH monomer is structurally similar to alcohol dehydrogenase monomers from vertebrates, archaea, and bacteria. The stabilization of the ternary complex of PaADH, the coenzyme, and the poor substrate ethylene glycol (k(cat) = 4.5 sec(-1); Km > 200 mM) was due to the blocked exit of the coenzyme in the crystalline state, combined with a high (2.5 M) concentration of the substrate. The structure of the ternary complex presents the precise geometry of the Zn coordination complex, the proton-shuttling system, and the hydride transfer path. The ternary complex structure also suggests that the low efficiency of ethylene glycol as a substrate results from the presence of a second hydroxyl group in this molecule.

The metabolism of protocatechuate by Pseudomonas testosteroni.

Project description:1. Protocatechuate 4,5-oxygenase, purified 21-fold from extracts of Pseudomonas testosteroni, was examined in the ultracentrifuge and assigned a mol.wt. of about 140000. 2. When diluted, the enzyme rapidly lost activity during catalysis. Inactivation was partially prevented by l-cysteine. 3. With a saturating concentration of protocatechuate (1.36mm), K(m) for oxygen was 0.303mm. This value is greater than the concentration of oxygen in water saturated with air at 20 degrees . 4. Cell extracts converted protocatechuate into gamma-carboxy-gamma-hydroxy-alpha-oxovalerate, which was isolated as its lactone. 5. gamma-Carboxy-gamma-hydroxy-alpha-oxovalerate pyruvate-lyase activity was stimulated by Mg(2+) ions and mercaptoethanol. Cells grown with p-hydroxybenzoate as carbon source contained higher concentrations of this enzyme than those grown with succinate.

The purification and properties of urocanase from Pseudomonas testosteroni.

Project description:Urocanase (urocanate hydratase, EC 4.2.1.49) purified from Pseudomonas testosteroni has a mol.wt. of 118000 determined by sedimentation-equilibrium analysis. Ultracentrifugation in 6M-guanidine hydrochloride and polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate show that the enzyme consists of two identical or very similar subunits. It is, like urocanase isolated from other sources, inhibited by reagents that react with carbonyl groups. Although urocanase from Ps. testosteroni is strongly inhibited by NaBH4, no evidence could be obtained for the presence of covalently bound 2-oxobutyrate as a prosthetic group; this is in contrast with findings elsewhere for urocanase from Pseudomonas putida. Urocanase from Ps. testosteroni does not contain pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a coenzyme and in this respect is similar to all urocanases studied in purified form.

The microbial oxidation of methanol. The alcohol dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas sp. M27.

Project description:1. No primary hydrogen acceptor other than phenazine methosulphate has been found for the alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. M27. 2. None of a wide range of vitamins or cofactors has any effect on the activity of the enzyme. 3. The enzyme is far less sensitive to metal-chelating agents and thiol reagents than are other alcohol dehydrogenases. 4. Methanol is oxidized at least as fast as other alcohols by this enzyme and its well-defined substrate specificity is different from that of other alcohol dehydrogenases. Only primary alcohols are oxidized; the general formula for an oxidizable substrate is R.CH(2).OH, where R may be H or [Formula: see text] 5. Whole organisms oxidize only those alcohols that are oxidized by the isolated enzyme.

The genetics of alcohol metabolism: role of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase variants.

Project description:The primary enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism are alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Both enzymes occur in several forms that are encoded by different genes; moreover, there are variants (i.e., alleles) of some of these genes that encode enzymes with different characteristics and which have different ethnic distributions. Which ADH or ALDH alleles a person carries influence his or her level of alcohol consumption and risk of alcoholism. Researchers to date primarily have studied coding variants in the ADH1 B, ADH1C, and ALDH2 genes that are associated with altered kinetic properties of the resulting enzymes. For example, certain ADH1B and ADH1C alleles encode particularly active ADH enzymes, resulting in more rapid conversion of alcohol (i.e., ethanol) to acetaldehyde; these alleles have a protective effect on the risk of alcoholism. A variant of the ALDH2 gene encodes an essentially inactive ALDH enzyme, resulting in acetaldehyde accumulation and a protective effect. It is becoming clear that noncoding variants in both ADH and ALDH genes also may influence alcohol metabolism and, consequently, alcoholism risk; the specific nature and effects of these variants still need further study.
