Purification and properties of the P2 primary alkylsulphohydrolase of the detergent-degrading bacterium pseudomonas C12B.

ABSTRACT: The P2 primary alkylsulphohydrolase of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas C12B was purified to homogeneity (200-250-fold) by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-100 and butyl-agarose. The intact protein is a dimer with a mol. wt. of 160 000. Activity towards primary alkyl sulphate esters was maximal at pH 8.3, varied little in the range pH 7.8-8.7, but decreased sharply at higher pH. For a homologous series of primary alkyl sulphate substrates (C6-C12), logKm decreased linearly with increasing chain length, corresponding to a contribution to the free energy of association between enzyme and substrate of -2.5kJ/mol for each additional CH2 group in the alkyl chain. logKi for the competitive inhibition by secondary alkyl 2-sulphate esters followed a similar pattern (-2.4kJ/mol for each additional CH2 group) except that only n-1 carbon atoms effectively participate in hydrophobic bonding, implying that the C-1 methyl group is not involved. logKi values for inhibition primary alkanesulphonates also depended linearly on chain length but with a diminished gradient, indicating a free-energy increment of -1.2kJ/mol per additional CH2 group. The collective results showed the presence of a hydrophobic site on the enzyme capable of accomodating an alkyl chain of considerable length. Cationic structures (in the form of arginine, lysine or histidine), whose presence might be expected for binding the anionic sulphate group, were not detectable at the active site.

Specificity of P2 primary alkylsulphohydrolase induction in the detergent-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas C12B. Effects of alkanesulphonates, alkyl sulphates and other related compounds.

Project description:Primary alkanesulphonates were shown to serve as non-metabolizable (gratuitous) inducers of the P2 primary alkylsulphohydrolase enzyme in resting cell suspensions of Pseudomonas C12B. The effects of increasing concentrations of inducer on the production of enzyme were complex and suggestive of a multiphasic phenomenon. However, it was possible to determine Kinducer constants (analogous to Km or Ki) for alkanesulphonates of chain length from C7 to c12. these decreased with increasing chain length in a manner characteristic of an homologous series. Primary alkyl sulphates also served as good inducers of alkylsulphohydrolase, but valid kinetic values could not be obtained because these esters are good substrates for the enzyme and are therefore appreciably hydrolysed during the induction period. Small amounts of enzyme were also produced when cyprinol sulphate, dodecyltriethoxy sulphate C12H23-[O-CH2-CH2]3-O-SO3-Na+), Crag herbicide and some secondary alkyl sulphates were tested as inducers.

Purification and properties of the S1 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase of the detergent-degrading micro-organism, Pseudomonas C12B.

Project description:The S1 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase of the detergent-degrading micro-organism, Pseudomonas C12B, was separated from other alkylsulphohydrolases and purified to homogeneity. Under the experimental conditions used the enzyme completely hydrolysed d-octan-2-yl sulphate (d-1-methylheptyl sulphate), but showed no activity towards the corresponding l-isomer. Additional evidence has been obtained to indicate that it is probably optically stereospecific for d-secondary alkyl sulphate esters with the ester sulphate group at C-2 and with a chain length of at least seven carbon atoms. Enzyme activity towards racemic samples of heptan-2-yl sulphate (1-methylhexyl sulphate), octan-2-yl sulphate and decan-2-yl sulphate (1-methylnonyl sulphate) increased with increasing chain length. l-Octan-2-yl sulphate is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, as are certain primary alkyl sulphates and primary alkanesulphonates. Inhibition by each of the last two types of compounds is characteristic of the behaviour of an homologous series. Inhibition increases with increasing chain length and plots of log K(i) values against the number of carbon atoms in each alkyl chain show the expected linear relationship. A crude preparation of the S2 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase was used to show that this particular enzyme hydrolyses l-octan-2-yl sulphate, but is probably inactive towards the corresponding d-isomer. The similarity of the S1 and S2 enzymes to the CS2 and CS1 enzymes respectively of Comamonas terrigena was established, and some comments have been made on the possible roles of these and other alkylsulphohydrolases in the biodegradation of detergents.

Primary alkylsulphatase activities of the detergent-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas C12B. Purification and properties of the P1 enzyme.

Project description:The P1 primary alkylsulphatase of Pseudomonas C12B was purified 1500-fold to homogeneity by a combination of streptomycin sulphate precipitation of nucleic acids, (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and chromatography on columns of DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-300 and butyl-agarose. The protein was tetrameric with an Mr of 181000-193000, and exhibited maximum activity at pH 6.1. Primary alkyl sulphates of carbon-chain length C1-C5 or above C14 were not substrates, but the intermediate homologues were shown to be substrates, either by direct assay (C6-C9 and C12) or by gel zymography (C10, C11, C13 and C14). Increasing the chain length from C6 to C12 led to diminishing Km. Values of delta G0' for binding substrates to enzyme were dependent linearly on chain length, indicating high dependence on hydrophobic interactions. Vmax./Km values increased with increasing chain length. Inhibition by alk-2-yl sulphates and alkane-sulphonates was competitive and showed a similar dependence on hydrophobic binding. The P1 enzyme was active towards several aryl sulphates, including o-, m- and p-chlorophenyl sulphates, 2,4-dichlorophenyl sulphate, o-, m- and p-methoxyphenyl sulphates, m- and p-hydroxyphenyl sulphates and p-nitrophenyl sulphate, but excluding bis-(p-nitrophenyl) sulphate and the O-sulphate esters of tyrosine, nitrocatechol and phenol. The arylsulphatase activity was weak compared with alkylsulphatase activity, and it was distinguishable from the de-repressible arylsulphatase activity of Pseudomonas C12B reported previously. Comparison of the P1 enzyme with the inducible P2 alkylsulphatase of this organism, and with the Crag herbicide sulphatase of Pseudomonas putida, showed that, although there are certain similarities between any two of the three enzymes, very few properties are common to all three.

Substrate specificity and other properties of the inducible S3 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase purified from the detergent-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas C12B.

Project description:The inducible S3 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas C12B was purified to homogeneity (683-fold from cell-free extracts by a combination of column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Sephadex G-100 and Blue Sepharose CL-6B. The enzyme has a molecular weight in the region of 40000--46000, and is active over a broad range of pH from 5 to 9, with maximum activity at pH 8.2. The preferred substrates of the enzyme are the symmetrical secondary alkylsulphate esters such as heptan-4-yl sulphate and nonan-5-yl sulphate and the asymmetric secondary octyl and nonyl sulphate esters with the sulphate group attached to C-3 or C-4. However, for each asymmetric ester, the L-isomer is much more readily hydrolysed than the D-isomer. This specificity is interpreted in terms of a three-point attachment of the substrate to the enzyme's active site. The alkyl chains on either side of the esterified carbon atom are bound in two separate sites, one of which can only accommodate alkyl chains of limited size. The third site binds the sulphate group. Enzymic hydrolysis of this group is accompanied by complete inversion of configuration at the asymmetric carbon atom. The implied cleavage of the C--O bond of the C--O--S ester linkage was confirmed by 18O-incorporation studies.

The mechanism of action of primary alkylsulphohydrolase and arylsulphohydrolase from a detergent-degrading micro-organism.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that secondary alkylsulphohydrolases from certain detergent-degrading micro-organisms are unusual esterases in that they catalyse fission of the C-O bond of the alkyl sulphate ester linkage. The position of bond fission catalysed by a primary alkylsulphatase and an arylsulphohydrolase present in Pseudomonas C12B has now been investigated. The primary alkylsulphatase behaved like the secondary alkylsulphohydrolases in cleaving the C-O bond of potassium heptan-1-yl sulphate. In contrast, the arylsulphohydrolase, in common with other similar enzymes previously studied, catalysed the fission of the O-S bond of potassium p-nitrophenyl sulphate.

Identification, purification, and characterization of iminodiacetate oxidase from the EDTA-degrading bacterium BNC1.

Project description:Microbial degradation of synthetic chelating agents, such as EDTA and nitrilotriacetate (NTA), may help immobilizing radionuclides and heavy metals in the environment. The EDTA- and NTA-degrading bacterium BNC1 uses EDTA monooxygenase to oxidize NTA to iminodiacetate (IDA) and EDTA to ethylenediaminediacetate (EDDA). IDA- and EDDA-degrading enzymes have not been purified and characterized to date. In this report, an IDA oxidase was purified to apparent homogeneity from strain BNC1 by using a combination of eight purification steps. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single protein band of 40 kDa, and by using size exclusion chromatography, we estimated the native enzyme to be a homodimer. Flavin adenine dinucleotide was determined as its prosthetic group. The purified enzyme oxidized IDA to glycine and glyoxylate with the consumption of O2. The temperature and pH optima for IDA oxidation were 35 degrees C and 8, respectively. The apparent Km for IDA was 4.0 mM with a kcat of 5.3 s(-1). When the N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined, it matched exactly with that encoded by a previously sequenced hypothetical oxidase gene of BNC1. The gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the gene product as a C-terminal fusion with a His tag was purified by a one-step nickel affinity chromatography. The purified fusion protein had essentially the same enzymatic activity and properties as the native IDA oxidase. IDA oxidase also oxidized EDDA to ethylenediamine and glyoxylate. Thus, IDA oxidase is likely the second enzyme in both NTA and EDTA degradation pathways in strain BNC1.
