Characterization of the genome of the Rhodococcus rhodochrous bacteriophage NJL.

ABSTRACT: Temperate bacteriophage NJL of Rhodococcus rhodochrous has a 49-kb linear double-stranded DNA with cohesive ends (cos). NJL DNA has unique target sites for HindIII and SspI, two target sites each for NheI and ScaI, and no cleavage site for AxyI, DraI, EcoRI, SacI, and SphI. The single-stranded regions of cos ends were ligated to each other with T4 DNA ligase, removed with mung bean nuclease, or blunted with the Klenow large fragment of DNA polymerase I; then the sequences of the cos ends were determined. Comparison of these sequences revealed that the single-stranded regions are complementary and 18 bases long and protrude at the 3' ends; they have the following sequences: 5'-TTGGCACCGTGGGAGGAG-3' and 3'-AACCGTGGCAC CCTCCTC-5'. A physical map of NJL was constructed by a cos mapping method based on information about the structure of the cohesive ends and multiple digestions with restriction endonucleases.

Draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain ATCC 17895.

Project description:Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC 17895 possesses an array of mono- and dioxygenases, as well as hydratases, which makes it an interesting organism for biocatalysis. R. rhodochrous is a Gram-positive aerobic bacterium with a rod-like morphology. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 6,869,887 bp long genome contains 6,609 protein-coding genes and 53 RNA genes. Based on small subunit rRNA analysis, the strain is more likely to be a strain of Rhodococcus erythropolis rather than Rhodococcus rhodochrous.

Overexpression and characterization of two types of nitrile hydratases from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1.

Project description:Nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 is widely used for industrial production of acrylamide and nicotinamide. However, the two types of NHases (L-NHase and H-NHase) from R. rhodochrous J1 were only slightly expressed in E. coli by routine methods, which limits the comprehensive and systematic characterization of the enzyme properties. We successfully expressed the two types of recombinant NHases in E. coli by codon-optimization, engineering of Ribosome Binding Site (RBS) and spacer sequences. The specific activity of the purified L-NHase and H-NHase were 400 U/mg and 234 U/mg, respectively. The molecular mass of L-NHase and H-NHase was identified to be 94 kDa and 504 kDa, respectively, indicating that the quaternary structure of the two types of NHases was the same as those in R. rhodochrous J1. H-NHase exhibited higher substrate and product tolerance than L-NHase. Moreover, higher activity and shorter culture time were achieved in recombinant E. coli, and the whole cell catalyst of recombinant E. coli harboring H-NHase has equivalent efficiency in tolerance to the high-concentration product relative to that in R. rhodochrous J1. These results indicate that biotransformation of nitrile by R. rhodochrous J1 represents a potential alternative to NHase-producing E. coli.

A 2-Hydroxypyridine Catabolism Pathway in Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain PY11.

Project description:Rhodococcus rhodochrous PY11 (DSM 101666) is able to use 2-hydroxypyridine as a sole source of carbon and energy. By investigating a gene cluster (hpo) from this bacterium, we were able to reconstruct the catabolic pathway of 2-hydroxypyridine degradation. Here, we report that in Rhodococcus rhodochrous PY11, the initial hydroxylation of 2-hydroxypyridine is catalyzed by a four-component dioxygenase (HpoBCDF). A product of the dioxygenase reaction (3,6-dihydroxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-2-one) is further oxidized by HpoE to 2,3,6-trihydroxypyridine, which spontaneously forms a blue pigment. In addition, we show that the subsequent 2,3,6-trihydroxypyridine ring opening is catalyzed by the hypothetical cyclase HpoH. The final products of 2-hydroxypyridine degradation in Rhodococcus rhodochrous PY11 are ammonium ion and α-ketoglutarate.

Cloning, sequencing, and characterization of the hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-triazine degradation gene cluster from Rhodococcus rhodochrous.

Project description:Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a high explosive which presents an environmental hazard as a major land and groundwater contaminant. Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain 11Y was isolated from explosive contaminated land and is capable of degrading RDX when provided as the sole source of nitrogen for growth. Products of RDX degradation in resting-cell incubations were analyzed and found to include nitrite, formaldehyde, and formate. No ammonium was excreted into the medium, and no dead-end metabolites were observed. The gene responsible for the degradation of RDX in strain 11Y is a constitutively expressed cytochrome P450-like gene, xplA, which is found in a gene cluster with an adrenodoxin reductase homologue, xplB. The cytochrome P450 also has a flavodoxin domain at the N terminus. This study is the first to present a gene which has been identified as being responsible for RDX biodegradation. The mechanism of action of XplA on RDX is thought to involve initial denitration followed by spontaneous ring cleavage and mineralization.

Data on genome sequencing, assembly, annotation and genomic analysis of Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain SPC17 isolated from Lonar Lake.

Project description:The bacterial isolates of genus Rhodococcus are best known for their significant biodegradation abilities. Here, we report the data related to draft genome sequencing of Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain SPC17 isolated from sediments of Lonar Lake. The de novo assembly of 1598096 Illumina's paired-end sequencing reads resulted in 51 contigs for an overall genome assembly size of 4.98Mb. A total of 4546 genes were predicted using the National Center for Biotechnology Information- Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (NCBI-PGAP). RAST server-based annotation of the Rhodococcus strain SPC17 genome resulted in a total of 295 subsystems with 25% subsystem coverage. The data on the draft genome shotgun project are accessible at NCBI-GenBank under the accession number WUUR00000000. Our data resource will facilitate further molecular and genomic studies of diverse hydrocarbon catabolizing genes present in Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain SPC17.

Regio- and stereoselective oxidation of unactivated C-H bonds with Rhodococcus rhodochrous.

Project description:The ability of Rhodococcus rhodochrous (NCIMB 9703) to catalyse the regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation of a range of benzyloxy-substituted heterocycles has been investigated. Incubation of 2-benzyloxytetrahydropyrans with resting cell suspensions of the organism yielded predominantly a mixture of 5-hydroxylated isomers in combined yields of up to 40%. Exposure of the corresponding 2-benzyloxytetrahydrofuran derivatives to the cell suspensions gave predominantly the 4-hydroxylated isomers in yields of up to 26%. Most interestingly, 2-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)tetrahydrofuran and 2-(4-nitrobenzyloxy)tetrahydropyran were transformed in high yields to the 4-hydroxylated and 5-hydroxylated products, respectively.
