The mother-cell-membrane adenosine triphosphatase of sporulating Clostridium pasteurianum.

ABSTRACT: 1. Sporulation of Clostridium pasteurianum effects several changes in its proton-translocating cell-membrane H(+)-ATPase. Notable among these are the acquisition of susceptibility to activation by trypsin and a changed protein subunit composition. 2. A protein was isolated from the mother-cell membrane that inhibited the ATP phosphohydrolase activity of purified vegetative-cell-membrane H(+)-ATPase [BF(0)F(1) complex, which consists of soluble ATPase (BF(1)) and the proton-channel component (BF(0))] and rendered it susceptible to trypsin activation. 3. This trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein had a molecular weight of 10000 and on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis was indistinguishable from the novel protein subunit e of the mother-cell-membrane ATPase 4. In bacteriorhodopsin-containing everted membrane vesicles, the specific ATP synthetase activity of the mother-cell-membrane ATPase was significantly greater than that of the vegetative-cell-membrane ATPase. 5. Treatment with trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein of artificial proteoliposomes containing bacteriorhodopsin and vegetative-cell-membrane H(+)-ATPase (BF(0)F(1)) significantly increased the specific ATP synthetase activity of this enzyme. 6. The ATP synthetase activity of crude cell-membrane preparations from cultures of Clostridium pasteurianum increased during that period in the course of sporulation when the membrane ATP phosphohydrolase was both most rapidly decreasing in specific activity and acquiring its susceptibility to activation by trypsin.

Changes in membrane plasmalogens of Clostridium pasteurianum during butanol fermentation as determined by lipidomic analysis.

Project description:Changes in membrane lipid composition of Clostridium pasteurianum NRRL B-598 were studied during butanol fermentation by lipidomic analysis, performed by high resolution electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The highest content of plasmalogen phospholipids correlated with the highest butanol productivity, which indicated a probable role of these compounds in the complex responses of cells toward butanol stress. A difference in the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids was found between the effect of butanol produced by the cells and butanol added to the medium. A decrease in the proportion of saturated fatty acids during conventional butanol production was observed while a rise in the content of these acids appeared when butanol was added to the culture. The largest change in total plasmalogen content was observed one hour after butanol addition i.e. at the 7th hour of cultivation. When butanol is produced by bacterial cells, then the cells are not subjected to severe stress and responded to it by relatively slowly changing the content of fatty acids and plasmalogens, while after a pulse addition of external butanol (to a final non-lethal concentration of 0.5 % v/v) the cells reacted relatively quickly (within a time span of tens of minutes) by increasing the total plasmalogen content.

Mechanism of proton transfer in [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum.

Project description:[FeFe]-Hydrogenases are complex metalloproteins that catalyze the reversible reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen utilizing a unique diiron subcluster bridged to a [4Fe4S] subcluster. Extensive studies have concentrated on the nature and catalytic activity of the active site, yet relatively little information is available concerning the mechanism of proton transport that is required for this activity. Previously, structural characterization of [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Clostridium pasteurianum indicated a potential proton transport pathway involving four residues (Cys-299, Glu-279, Ser-319, and Glu-282) that connect the active site to the enzyme surface. Here, we demonstrate that substitution of any of these residues resulted in a drastic reduction in hydrogenase activity relative to the native enzyme, supporting the importance of these residues in catalysis. Inhibition studies of native and amino acid-substituted enzymes revealed that Zn(2+) specifically blocked proton transfer by binding to Glu-282, confirming the role of this residue in the identified pathway. In addition, all four of these residues are strictly conserved, suggesting that they may form a proton transport pathway that is common to all [FeFe]-hydrogenases.

Clostridium pasteurianum F1Fo ATP synthase: operon, composition, and some properties.

Project description:The atp operon encoding F1Fo ATP synthase in the fermentative obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum was sequenced. It consisted of nine genes arranged in the order atpI(i), atpB(a), atpE(c), atpF(b), atpH(delta), atpA(alpha), atpG(gamma), atpD(beta), and atpC(epsilon), which was identical to that found in many bacteria. Reverse transcription-PCR confirmed the presence of the transcripts of all nine genes. The amount of ATPase activity in the membranes of C. pasteurianum was low compared to what has been found in many other bacteria. The F1Fo complexes solubilized from membranes of C. pasteurianum and Escherichia coli had similar masses, suggesting similar compositions for the F1Fo complexes from the two bacteria. Western blotting experiments with antibodies raised against the purified subunits of F1Fo detected the presence of eight subunits, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, a, b, and c, in the F1Fo complex from C. pasteurianum. The F1Fo complex from C. pasteurianum was activated by thiocyanate, cyanate, or sulfhydryl compounds; inhibited by sulfite, bisulfite, or bicarbonate; and had tolerance to inhibition by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The target of thiol activation of the F1Fo complex from C. pasteurianum was F1. Thiocyanate and sulfite were noncompetitive with respect to substrate Mg ATP but competitive with respect to each other. The F1 and Fo parts of the F1Fo complexes from C. pasteurianum and E. coli bound to each other, but the hybrid F1Fo complexes were not functionally active.

The mode of inhibition by calcium of cell-membrane adenosine-triphosphatase activity.

Project description:1. The mechanism of the inhibition of Na(+)-plus-K(+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase by calcium was investigated with an enzyme preparation from rabbit kidney cortex and with membranes of human erythrocytes. 2. CaATP, rather than ionic Ca(2+), acts as a competitive inhibitor, competing with MgATP in the Na(+)-plus-K(+)-activated adenosine-triphosphatase reaction. 3. There appears to be no competition between calcium and Na(+) for the activation of adenosine triphosphatase. 4. The inhibition of Na(+)-plus-K(+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of cell membranes by low concentrations of CaATP and the consequent need of intact cells to keep the cytoplasmic concentration of calcium low relative to that of magnesium suggests a raison d'être for the mitochondrial calcium pump.

Towards improved butanol production through targeted genetic modification of Clostridium pasteurianum.

Project description:Declining fossil fuel reserves, coupled with environmental concerns over their continued extraction and exploitation have led to strenuous efforts to identify renewable routes to energy and fuels. One attractive option is to convert glycerol, a by-product of the biodiesel industry, into n-butanol, an industrially important chemical and potential liquid transportation fuel, using Clostridium pasteurianum. Under certain growth conditions this Clostridium species has been shown to predominantly produce n-butanol, together with ethanol and 1,3-propanediol, when grown on glycerol. Further increases in the yields of n-butanol produced by C. pasteurianum could be accomplished through rational metabolic engineering of the strain. Accordingly, in the current report we have developed and exemplified a robust tool kit for the metabolic engineering of C. pasteurianum and used the system to make the first reported in-frame deletion mutants of pivotal genes involved in solvent production, namely hydA (hydrogenase), rex (Redox response regulator) and dhaBCE (glycerol dehydratase). We were, for the first time in C. pasteurianum, able to eliminate 1,3-propanediol synthesis and demonstrate its production was essential for growth on glycerol as a carbon source. Inactivation of both rex and hydA resulted in increased n-butanol titres, representing the first steps towards improving the utilisation of C. pasteurianum as a chassis for the industrial production of this important chemical.
