promiscuous defluorinating enoyl coa Hydratases hydrolases allow for complete anaerobic degradation of 2 fluorobenzoate
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017Co-Authors: Oliver Tiedt, Wolfgang Eisenreich, Mario Mergelsberg, Matthias BollAbstract:Biodegradation of the environmentally hazardous fluoroaromatics has mainly been associated with oxygenase-dependent defluorination reactions. Only very recently a novel mode of oxygen-independent defluorination was identified for the complete degradation of para-substituted fluoroaromatics in the denitrifying Thauera aromatica: a promiscuous class I benzoyl-coenzyme A (BzCoA) reductase (BCR) catalyzed the ATP-dependent defluorination of 4-F-BzCoA to BzCoA. Here, we studied the unknown enzymatic defluorination during the complete degradation of 2-F-benzoate to CO2 and HF. We demonstrate that after activation of 2-F-benzoate by a promiscuous AMP-forming benzoate-CoA ligase, the 2-F-BzCoA formed is subsequently dearomatized by BCR to a mixture of 2-F- and 6-F-cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carboxyl-CoA (2-F-/6-F-1,5-dienoyl-CoA). This finding indicates that BCR is not involved in C–F-bond cleavage during growth with 2-F-benzoate. Instead, we identified defluorination of the two isomers by two enoyl-CoA Hydratases involved in down-stream reactions of the BzCoA degradation pathway. (i) The 1,5-dienoyl-CoA hydratase hydrated the F-1,5-dienoyl-CoA isomers to a mixture of the stable 2-F-6-OH-1-enoyl-CoA and the unstable α-fluorohydrin 6-F-6-OH-1-enoyl-CoA; the latter spontaneously decomposed to HF and 6-oxo-cyclohex-1-enoyl-CoA (6-oxo-1-enoyl-CoA), a common intermediate of the BzCoA degradation pathway. (ii) 6-Oxo-1-enoyl-CoA hydrolase/hydratase catalyzed the defluorination of 2-F-6-OH-1-enoyl-CoA to 2-oxo-6-OH-1-enoyl-CoA and HF again via water addition to an F-enoyl-CoA functionality. Based on these in vitro results, we demonstrate a previously overseen capability of 2-F-benzoate degradation for many but not all tested facultatively and obligately anaerobic bacteria that degrade aromatic compounds via the BzCoA degradation pathway. In conclusion, the newly identified enzymatic defluorination by enoyl-CoA Hydratases via alpha-fluorohydrin formation represents an abundant, physiologically relevant principle of enzymatic defluorination.

Cyclohexa-1,5-Diene-1-Carbonyl-Coenzyme A (CoA) Hydratases of Geobacter metallireducens and Syntrophus aciditrophicus: Evidence for a Common Benzoyl-CoA Degradation Pathway in Facultative and Strict Anaerobes
Journal of Bacteriology, 2006Co-Authors: Franziska Peters, Yoshifumi Shinoda, Michael J. Mcinerney, Matthias BollAbstract:In the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica, the central intermediate of anaerobic aromatic metabolism, benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA), is dearomatized by the ATP-dependent benzoyl-CoA reductase to cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA (dienoyl-CoA). The dienoyl-CoA is further metabolized by a series of β-oxidation-like reactions of the so-called benzoyl-CoA degradation pathway resulting in ring cleavage. Recently, evidence was obtained that obligately anaerobic bacteria that use aromatic growth substrates do not contain an ATP-dependent benzoyl-CoA reductase. In these bacteria, the reactions involved in dearomatization and cleavage of the aromatic ring have not been shown, so far. In this work, a characteristic enzymatic step of the benzoyl-CoA pathway in obligate anaerobes was demonstrated and characterized. Dienoyl-CoA hydratase activities were determined in extracts of Geobacter metallireducens (iron reducing), Syntrophus aciditrophicus (fermenting), and Desulfococcus multivorans (sulfate reducing) cells grown with benzoate. The benzoate-induced genes putatively coding for the dienoyl-CoA Hydratases in the benzoate degraders G. metallireducens and S. aciditrophicus were heterologously expressed and characterized. Both gene products specifically catalyzed the reversible hydration of dienoyl-CoA to 6-hydroxycyclohexenoyl-CoA (Km, 80 and 35 μM; Vmax, 350 and 550 μmol min−1 mg−1, respectively). Neither enzyme had significant activity with cyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA or crotonyl-CoA. The results suggest that benzoyl-CoA degradation proceeds via dienoyl-CoA and 6-hydroxycyclohexanoyl-CoA in strictly anaerobic bacteria. The steps involved in dienoyl-CoA metabolism appear identical in all nonphotosynthetic anaerobic bacteria, although totally different benzene ring-dearomatizing enzymes are present in facultative and obligate anaerobes.

evolving the promiscuity of elizabethkingia meningoseptica oleate hydratase for the regio and stereoselective hydration of oleic acid derivatives
Angewandte Chemie, 2019Co-Authors: Matthias Engleder, Georg Steinkellner, Erich Leitner, Hansjorg Weber, Monika Muller, Martin Schürmann, Daniel Mink, Karl Gruber, Gernot A. Strohmeier, Harald PichlerAbstract:: The addition of water to non-activated carbon-carbon double bonds catalyzed by fatty acid Hydratases (FAHYs) allows for highly regio- and stereoselective oxyfunctionalization of renewable oil feedstock. So far, the applicability of FAHYs has been limited to free fatty acids, mainly owing to the requirement of a carboxylate function for substrate recognition and binding. Herein, we describe for the first time the hydration of oleic acid (OA) derivatives lacking this free carboxylate by the oleate hydratase from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (OhyA). Molecular docking of OA to the OhyA 3D-structure and a sequence alignment uncovered conserved amino acid residues at the entrance of the substrate channel as target positions for enzyme engineering. Exchange of selected amino acids gave rise to OhyA variants which showed up to an 18-fold improved conversion of OA derivatives, while retaining the excellent regio- and stereoselectivity in the olefin hydration reaction.

structure based mechanism of oleate hydratase from elizabethkingia meningoseptica
ChemBioChem, 2015Co-Authors: Matthias Engleder, Anita Emmerstorfer, Sabine Schrempf, Georg Steinkellner, Tamara Wriessnegger, Erich Leitner, Altijana Hromic, Tea Pavkovkeller, Gernot A. Strohmeier, Iwona KaluznaAbstract:Hydratases provide access to secondary and tertiary alcohols by regio- and/or stereospecifically adding water to carbon-carbon double bonds. Thereby, hydroxy groups are introduced without the need for costly cofactor recycling, and that makes this approach highly interesting on an industrial scale. Here we present the first crystal structure of a recombinant oleate hydratase originating from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in the presence of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). A structure-based mutagenesis study targeting active site residues identified E122 and Y241 as crucial for the activation of a water molecule and for protonation of the double bond, respectively. Moreover, we also observed that two-electron reduction of FAD results in a sevenfold increase in the substrate hydration rate. We propose the first reaction mechanism for this enzyme class that explains the requirement for the flavin cofactor and the involvement of conserved amino acid residues in this regio- and stereoselective hydration.

gene cloning of an efficiency oleate hydratase from stenotrophomonas nitritireducens for polyunsaturated fatty acids and its application in the conversion of plant oils to 10 hydroxy fatty acids
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2017Co-Authors: Woori Kang, Jinbyung Park, Kyungchul Shin, Deokkun OhAbstract:: Hydroxy fatty acids are used as precursors of lactones and dicarboxylic acids, as starting materials of polymers, and as additives in coatings and paintings. Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens efficiently converts cis-9 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to 10-hydroxy fatty acids. However, gene encoding enzyme involved in this conversion has not been identified to date. We purified a putative fatty acid double-bond hydratase from S. nitritireducens by ultrafiltration and HiPrep DEAE FF and Resource Q ion exchange chromatographies. Peptide sequences of the purified enzyme were obtained by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Sequence of the partial gene encoding this putative fatty acid double-bond hydratase was determined by degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the peptide sequences. The remaining gene sequence was identified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends using cDNA of S. nitritireducens as a template, and the full-length gene was cloned subsequently. The expressed enzyme was identified as an oleate hydratase by determining its kinetic parameters toward unsaturated fatty acids. S. nitritireducens oleate hydratase showed higher activity toward PUFAs compared with other available oleate Hydratases. This suggested that the enzyme could be used effectively to convert plant oils to 10-hydroxy fatty acids because these oils contained unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid (OA) and linoleic acid (LA) and PUFAs such as α-linolenic acid and/or γ-linolenic acid. The enzyme converted soybean oil and perilla seed oil hydrolyzates containing 10 mM total unsaturated fatty acids, including OA, LA, and ALA, to 8.87 and 8.70 mM total 10-hydroxy fatty acids, respectively, in 240 min. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the biotechnological conversion of PUFA-containing oils to hydroxy fatty acids. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2017;114: 74-82. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

unveiling of novel regio selective fatty acid double bond Hydratases from lactobacillus acidophilus involved in the selective oxyfunctionalization of mono and di hydroxy fatty acids
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2015Co-Authors: Hyejin Oh, Chulsoon Park, Seunghye Hong, Ji Young Park, Deokkun OhAbstract:The aim of this study is the first time demonstration of cis-12 regio-selective linoleate double-bond hydratase. Hydroxylation of fatty acids, abundant feedstock in nature, is an emerging alternative route for many petroleum replaceable products thorough hydroxy fatty acids, carboxylic acids, and lactones. However, chemical route for selective hydroxylation is still quite challenging owing to low selectivity and many environmental concerns. Hydroxylation of fatty acids by hydroxy fatty acid forming enzymes is an important route for selective biocatalytic oxyfunctionalization of fatty acids. Therefore, novel fatty acid hydroxylation enzymes should be discovered. The two hydratase genes of Lactobacillus acidophilus were identified by genomic analysis, and the expressed two recombinant Hydratases were identified as cis-9 and cis-12 double-bond selective linoleate Hydratases by in vitro functional validation, including the identification of products and the determination of regio-selectivity, substrate specificity, and kinetic parameters. The two different linoleate Hydratases were the involved enzymes in the 10,13-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid biosynthesis. Linoleate 13-hydratase (LHT-13) selectively converted 10 mM linoleic acid to 13S-hydroxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid with high titer (8.1 mM) and yield (81%). Our study will expand knowledge for microbial fatty acid-hydroxylation enzymes and facilitate the designed production of the regio-selective hydroxy fatty acids for useful chemicals from polyunsaturated fatty acid feedstocks.

Anaerobic metabolism of 3-hydroxybenzoate by the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica.
Journal of Bacteriology, 2001Co-Authors: Diana Laempe, Klaus Breese, Martina Jahn, Hermann SchäggerAbstract:The anaerobic metabolism of 3-hydroxybenzoate was studied in the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica. Cells grown with this substrate were adapted to grow with benzoate but not with 4-hydroxybenzoate. Vice versa, 4-hydroxybenzoate-grown cells did not utilize 3-hydroxybenzoate. The first step in 3-hydroxybenzoate metabolism is a coenzyme A (CoA) thioester formation, which is catalyzed by an inducible 3-hydroxybenzoate–CoA ligase. The enzyme was purified and characterized. Further metabolism of 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA by cell extract required MgATP and was coupled to the oxidation of 2 mol of reduced viologen dyes per mol of substrate added. Purification of the 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reducing enzyme revealed that this activity was due to benzoyl-CoA reductase, which reduced the 3-hydroxy analogue almost as efficiently as benzoyl-CoA. The further metabolism of the alicyclic dienoyl-CoA product containing the hydroxyl substitution obviously required additional specific enzymes. Comparison of the protein pattern of 3-hydroxybenzoate-grown cells with benzoate-grown cells revealed several 3-hydroxybenzoate-induced proteins; the N-terminal amino acid sequences of four induced proteins were determined and the corresponding genes were identified and sequenced. A cluster of six adjacent genes contained the genes for substrate-induced proteins 1 to 3; this cluster may not yet be complete. Protein 1 is a short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase. Protein 2 is a member of enoyl-CoA hydratase enzymes. Protein 3 was identified as 3-hydroxybenzoate–CoA ligase. Protein 4 is another member of the enoyl-CoA Hydratases. In addition, three genes coding for enzymes of β-oxidation were present. The anaerobic 3-hydroxybenzoate metabolism here obviously combines an enzyme (benzoyl-CoA reductase) and electron carrier (ferredoxin) of the general benzoyl-CoA pathway with enzymes specific for the 3-hydroxybenzoate pathway. This raises some questions concerning the regulation of both pathways.

cyclohexa 1 5 diene 1 carboxyl coa hydratase an enzyme involved in anaerobic metabolism of benzoyl coa in the denitrifying bacterium thauera aromatica
FEBS Journal, 1998Co-Authors: Diana Laempe, Wolfgang Eisenreich, Adelbert BacherAbstract:Many aromatic compounds can be metabolized by bacteria under anoxic conditions via benzoyl-CoA as the common intermediate. The central pathway of benzoyl-CoA metabolism is initiated by an ATP-driven reduction of the aromatic ring producing cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carboxyl-CoA. The 1,5-dienoyl-CoA intermediate is thought to be transformed to 6-hydroxycyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxyl-CoA by a specific dienoyl-CoA hydratase catalyzing the formal addition of water to one of the double bonds. This dienoyl-CoA hydratase was detected in the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica after anaerobic growth with benzoate. Substrate and product were confirmed and a convenient spectrophotometric assay was developed. The equilibrium concentrations of substrate and product were almost equal. Enzyme activity was induced after anoxic growth with benzoate, in contrast to acetate. The enzyme of 28 kDa was purified from T. aromatica and was found to be highly specific for the cyclic 1,5-dienoyl-CoA. A second 29-kDa enoyl-CoA hydratase acted on crotonyl-CoA; this highly active enoyl-CoA hydratase also acted slowly on cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxyl-CoA. The regulation of expression of dienoyl-CoA hydratase activity, the kinetic constants, the substrate specificity, and the specific activity of the enzyme in cell extract provide evidence that dienoyl-CoA hydratase is the second enzyme of the central benzoyl-CoA pathway of anaerobic aromatic metabolism in T. aromatica. Extracts of Rhodopseudomonas palustris contained high activity of cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxyl-CoA hydratase, but no 1,5-dienoyl-CoA hydratase activity. It appears that a variant of the benzoyl-CoA pathway is operating in R. palustris in which hydration of the 1,5-dienoyl-CoA does not take place. Rather, cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxyl-CoA is hydrated to 2-hydroxycyclohexane-1-carboxyl-CoA.
