Alternative sources of molybdenum for Methanococcus maripaludis and their implication for the evolution of molybdoenzymes

ABSTRACT: Molybdoenzymes are essential in global nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur cycling. To date, the only known bioavailable source of molybdenum (Mo) is molybdate. However, in the sulfidic and anoxic (euxinic) habitats that predominate in modern subsurface environments and that were pervasive prior to Earth's widespread oxygenation, Mo occurs as soluble tetrathiomolybdate ion and molybdenite mineral that is not known to be bioavailable. This presents a paradox for how organisms obtain Mo to support molybdoenzymes in these environments. Here, we show that tetrathiomolybdate and molybdenite sustain the high Mo demand of a model anaerobic methanogen, Methanococcus maripaludis, grown via Mo-dependent formate dehydrogenase, formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase, and nitrogenase. Cells grown with tetrathiomolybdate and molybdenite have similar growth kinetics, Mo content, and transcript levels of proteins involved in Mo transport and cofactor biosynthesis when compared to those grown with molybdate, implying similar mechanisms of transport and cofactor biosynthesis. These results help to reconcile the paradox of how Mo is acquired in modern and ancient anaerobes and provide new insight into how molybdoenzymes could have evolved prior to Earth's oxygenation.

Identification and characterization of Formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) from Bacillus subtilis

Project description:The Mo/W-bisPGD Formate Dehydrogenases (FDHs) family interplays in several metabolic pathways ranging from carbon fixation to energy harvesting owing to their reaction with a wide variety of redox partners. Here, we have unveiled two non-canonical FDHs in Bacillus subtilis which are organized into two-subunit complexes, as shown by mass spectrometry, with unique features, ForCE1 and ForCE2. The ForC catalytic subunit interacts with an unprecedented partner subunit ForE and its amino acid sequence within the active site deviates from the consensus residues typically associated to FDH activity, with an histidine residue naturally substituted by a glutamine. The ForE essential subunit mediates the utilization of menaquinone as electron acceptor as shown by the formate:menadione oxidoreductase activity of both enzymes, their copurification with menaquinone and the distinctive detection of a protein-bound neutral menasemiquinone radical by multifrequency EPR experiments on the purified enzymes. Moreover, EPR characterization of both FDHs reveals the presence of several [Fe-S] clusters with distinct relaxation properties and a weakly anisotropic Mo(V) EPR signature consistent with the characteristic Mo-bisPGD cofactor of this enzyme family. Altogether, this work enlarges our representation of the FDH family by deciphering a non-canonical FDH, which differs both in terms of architecture, amino acid conservation around the Mo cofactor and reactivity.

Differential Gene Expression in G. uraniireducens during Growth on Iron or Manganese Oxide as Electron Acceptor

Project description:G. uraniireducens was isolated from a subsurface site in Rifle, CO undergoing in situ uranium bioremediation. Sediments from the Rifle site were heat-sterilized, amended with acetate to simulate in situ bioremediation conditions, and inoculated with G. uraniireducens. Gene transcript abundance in these cells using sediment Fe(III) and Mn(IV) oxides as the electron acceptor were compared with transcript levels in cells grown with fumarate as the electron acceptor. Additional comparisons were made between cells grown on synthetic Fe(III) or Mn(IV) oxides and cells grown on fumarate.

Influence of sulfide on diazotrophic growth of the methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis and its implications for the origin of nitrogenase

Project description:Methanogens inhabit euxinic (sulfide-rich) or ferruginous (iron-rich) environments that promote the precipitation of transition metals as metal sulfides, such as pyrite, reducing metal or sulfur availability. Such environments have been common throughout Earth’s history raising the question as to how anaerobes obtain(ed) these elements for the synthesis of enzyme cofactors. Here, we show a methanogen can synthesize molybdenum nitrogenase metallocofactors from pyrite as the source of iron and sulfur, enabling nitrogen fixation. Pyrite-grown, nitrogen-fixing cells grow faster and require 25-fold less molybdenum than cells grown under euxinic conditions. Growth yields are 3 to 8 times higher in cultures grown under ferruginous relative to euxinic conditions. Physiological, transcriptomic, and geochemical data indicate these observations are due to sulfide-promoted metal limitation, in particular molybdenum. These findings suggest that molybdenum nitrogenase may have originated in a ferruginous environment that titrated sulfide to form pyrite, facilitating the availability of sufficient iron, sulfur, and molybdenum for cofactor biosynthesis.

GeneChip expression profiling of Glud1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1) transgenic mice across age

Project description:Glud1 (Glutamate dehydrogenase 1) transgenic mice release more excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate to synaptic cleft throughout lifespan. Here we compared transcriptomic profiles of these animals to their wild-type counterparts across 5 ages. The hippocampus was used for the analysis. Longitudinal studies of Glud1 transgenic and wide-type mice across 5 age points: 10 days post birth, 4.5 mo, 9 mo, 14.5 mo, and 20 mo.

Metaprotemic analysis of groundwaters from a coal tar-contaminated aquifer in South Glens Falls, NY: MW37, Gel Slice

Project description:Deciphering the in situ activities of microorganisms is essential for understanding the biogeochemical processes occurring in complex environments. Here we used environmental metaproteomics to obtain information about the identity and activity of subsurface microbial populations in coal-tar-contaminated groundwater. The present study reports metaproteomic data showing high representation of Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera in our study site’s subsurface microbial community. In addition, eight of the nine proteins of the n-damo pathway were identified—indicating that n-damo is an active process occurring in situ in this habitat.

Comparative analysis of transcriptome profiles between wild-type Arabidopsis and two ABA deficit mutants aba3-1 and aba2-2 in osmotic stress conditions

Project description:Arabidopsis ABA3 is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of the sulfurated form of the molybdenum (Mo) cofactor (MoCo), which is required for the enzymatic activity of so-called Mo enzymes such as aldehyde oxidase (AO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH). It has been reported that AO and XDH are essential for the biosynthesis of the bioactive compounds, ABA and allantoin, respectively. However, aba3 mutants often exhibit pleiotropic phenotypes that are not explained by defects in ABA and/or allantoin biosynthesis, leading us to hypothesize that ABA3 regulates additional metabolic pathways. To reveal the currently unidentified functions of ABA3 we compared transcriptome and metabolome of the Arabidopsis aba3 mutant with those of wild type and a typical ABA-deficient mutant aba2. We found that endogenous levels of anthocyanins, members of the flavonoid group, were significantly lower in the aba3 mutant than in the wild type or the aba2 mutant under oxidative stress. In contrast, mutants defective in the AO and XDH holoenzymes accumulated significantly higher levels of anthocyanins when compared with aba3 mutant under the same conditions. Our findings shed light on a key role of ABA3 in the ABA- and allantoin-independent accumulation of anthocyanins during stress responses.
