Purification, properties and cellular localization of the stereospecific CS2 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase of Comamonas terrigena.

ABSTRACT: The availability of homogeneous samples of the potassium salts of L- and D-octan-2-yl sulphate has enabled the separation of the optically stereospecific CS1 and CS2 secondary alkysulphohydrolases from extracts of cells of Comamonas terrigena. The CS2 enzyme was purified to homogeneity, and an initial study was made of its general properties, specificity, cellular localization and relationship to the CS1 enzyme. The CS2 enzyme has a molecular weight of approx. 250000 and a subunit size of approx. 58000, indicating that the molecule is a tetramer. Under the experimental conditions used the enzyme appears to be specific for (+)-secondary alkyl sulphate esters with the sulphate group at C-2 and with a chain length of at least six carbons. Enzyme activity towards racemic C-2 sulphates increases with increasing chain length up to C10, and there is some indirect evidence to suggest that activity declines when that chain length is exceeded. Other indirect evidence confirms that the CS1 enzyme exhibits similar specificity, except that only (-)-isomers can serve as substrates. Both enzymes are present in broth-grown stationary-phase cells of C. terrigena in approximately equal amounts.

Further studies on the substrate specificity and inhibition of the stereospecific CS2 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase of Comamonas terrigena.

Project description:A series of d-alkan-2-yl sulphate esters (C(7)-C(14)) were prepared by sulphation of the resolved parent alcohols by a method that entails complete retention of configuration. These sulphate esters were tested as substrates for the stereospecific CS2 secondary alkylsulphohydrolase of Comamonas terrigena. V(max.) reached a maximum with the C(9) compound, whereas logK(m) decreased linearly as the alkyl-chain length was increased from C(7) to C(14). A parallel series of l-alkan-2-yl sulphates was also prepared, and these esters, together with homologous series of primary alkyl sulphates and primary alkanesulphonates, were shown to be competitive inhibitors of the CS2 enzyme. For each series of compounds, logK(i) values decreased linearly with increasing alkyl-chain length. Plots of chain length against the standard free energy of binding (DeltaG(0)) of substrate and inhibitors to the CS2 enzyme showed that the standard free energy of association of a -CH(2)- group with the enzyme was 2.0-2.4kJ/mol for all classes of compound studied, indicating an important contribution from hydrophobic interactions to the overall binding. Plots for d-alkan-2-yl sulphate substrates and primary alkyl sulphate inhibitors were nearly coincident, suggesting that the overall interaction between a primary ester and the enzyme is the same as that between the isomeric secondary substrate and the enzyme. Plots for l-alkan-2-yl sulphate and alkanesulphonate inhibitors were very similar to each other, but were displaced by 1.5-3.0kJ/mol from that for substrate binding. This indicates that the binding of any one of these particular inhibitors involves one carbon atom fewer than the number involved in binding a substrate of the same chain length. These observations are discussed in terms of a three-point attachment of substrate to the enzyme involving the alkyl chain, sulphate group and the C-1 methyl group.

Secondary alkylsulphatases in a strain of Comamonas terrigena.

Project description:The occurrence in a strain of Comamonas terrigena of secondary alkylsulphatase activity towards potassium decan-5-yl sulphate is reported. A number of cell-washing and osmotic-shock procedures for releasing bacterial exocytoplasmic enzymes were ineffective in releasing this activity. Primary alkylsulphatases are not present in the organism, nor can their formation be induced under a wide variety of experimental conditions tested.

Preliminary observations on alcohol dehydrogenases in Comamonas terrigena that exhibit stereospecificity towards secondary alcohols.

Project description:Extracts of the cells of Comamonas terrigena, grown under a variety of different conditions, contain two distinct, constitutive, NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes that can be separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. One of the enzymes exhibits activity towards D-alkan-2-ols and primary alcohols and the other is active towards L-alkan-2-ols, symmetrical secondary alcohols and probably other positional isomers of secondary alcohols of the L-configuration. Methods for the individual assay of the two enzymes have been developed and have been used to define some of their general properties. Most of the substrates for these enzymes would not support growth of C. terrigena under the experimental conditions used and were relatively poorly oxidized by resting cell suspensions.

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.

Stereospecific cross-coupling of secondary alkyl ?-trifluoroboratoamides.

Project description:The stereospecific cross-coupling of enantioenriched nonbenzylic secondary alkyl boron compounds has been achieved. The high selectivity toward product formation over an undesired ?-H elimination pathway is achieved via an intramolecular coordination of an ancillary carbonyl to the metal center in the diorganopalladium intermediate.

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

Project description: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.

Insights into the Cellular Localization and Functional Properties of TSPYL5 Protein.

Project description:In recent years, the role of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in cellular molecular processes has received increasing attention from researchers. One such intrinsically disordered protein is TSPYL5, considered both as a marker and a potential therapeutic target for various oncological diseases. However, the role of TSPYL5 in intracellular processes remains unknown, and there is no clarity even in its intracellular localization. In this study, we characterized the intracellular localization and exchange dynamics with intracellular contents of TSPYL5 and its parts, utilizing TSPYL5 fusion proteins with EGFP. Our findings reveal that TSPYL5 can be localized in both the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, including the nucleolus. The nuclear (nucleolar) localization of TSPYL5 is mediated by the nuclear/nucleolar localization sequences (NLS/NoLS) identified in the N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (4-27 aa), while its cytoplasmic localization is regulated by the ordered NAP-like domain (198-382 aa). Furthermore, our results underscore the significant role of the TSPYL5 N-terminal disordered region (1-198 aa) in the exchange dynamics with the nucleoplasm and its potential ability for phase separation. Bioinformatics analysis of the TSPYL5 interactome indicates its potential function as a histone and ribosomal protein chaperone. Taken together, these findings suggest a significant contribution of liquid-liquid phase separation to the processes involving TSPYL5, providing new insights into the role of this protein in the cell's molecular life.
