The actinomycete Rhodococcus opacus MR11 harbors a bidirectional NAD-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenase (SH). This cytoplasmic enzyme is composed of two heterodimeric modules which catalyze distinct enzymatic activities. The hydrogenase moiety mediates H(2):benzyl viologen oxidoreductase activity and the FMN-containing diaphorase module displays NADH:benzyl viologen oxidoreductase activity. The SH of Rh. opacus resembles [NiFe] hydrogenases present in strains of the proteobacterium Ralstonia eutropha and in species of cyanobacteria. Heterologous expression of active [NiFe] hydrogenases failed in most cases due to protein-assisted maturation processes implicated in the assembly of the NiFe bimetallic site. This study reports on the construction of a recombinant plasmid harboring the four SH subunit genes hoxFUYH and the associated endopeptidase gene hoxW from Rh. opacus under the regime of the SH promoter from R. eutropha H16. The resulting recombinant plasmid restored lithoautotrophic growth in a R. eutropha mutant impaired in H(2)-oxidizing ability. The SH of Rh. opacus was functionally active in R. eutropha and displayed the typical features described for its natural host. It readily dissociated in vitro into two active subforms. Dissociation was accompanied by the loss of the H(2)-dependent NAD-reducing activity, which was partially reconstituted by addition of 5 mM MgSO(4) and 0.5 mM NiCl(2). Activity and stability of the SH from Rh. opacus were enhanced almost three-fold by co-overexpression of the SH-associated metal insertion genes hypA2B2F2 of R. eutropha. Under optimal conditions the heterologously expressed Rh. opacus SH catalyzed NAD-reduction at a specific activity of 1.7 units per mg protein, which is approximately 30% of the yield obtained for the R. eutropha SH. The results indicate that, despite an enormous phylogenetic distance of the two bacterial species, their SH proteins are highly related.

Acryloyl-CoA reductase from Clostridium propionicum catalyses the irreversible NADH-dependent formation of propionyl-CoA from acryloyl-CoA. Purification yielded a heterohexadecameric yellow-greenish enzyme complex [(alpha2betagamma)4; molecular mass 600 +/- 50 kDa] composed of a propionyl-CoA dehydrogenase (alpha2, 2 x 40 kDa) and an electron-transferring flavoprotein (ETF; beta, 38 kDa; gamma, 29 kDa). A flavin content (90% FAD and 10% FMN) of 2.4 mol per alpha2betagamma subcomplex (149 kDa) was determined. A substrate alternative to acryloyl-CoA (Km = 2 +/- 1 microm; kcat = 4.5 s-1 at 100 microm NADH) is 3-buten-2-one (methyl vinyl ketone; Km = 1800 microm; kcat = 29 s-1 at 300 microm NADH). The enzyme complex exhibits acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity with propionyl-CoA (Km = 50 microm; kcat = 2.0 s-1) or butyryl-CoA (Km = 100 microm; kcat = 3.5 s-1) as electron donor and 200 microm ferricenium hexafluorophosphate as acceptor. The enzyme also catalysed the oxidation of NADH by iodonitrosotetrazolium chloride (diaphorase activity) or by air, which led to the formation of H2O2 (NADH oxidase activity). The N-terminus of the dimeric propionyl-CoA dehydrogenase subunit is similar to those of butyryl-CoA dehydrogenases from several clostridia and related anaerobes (up to 55% sequence identity). The N-termini of the beta and gamma subunits share 40% and 35% sequence identities with those of the A and B subunits of the ETF from Megasphaera elsdenii, respectively, and up to 60% with those of putative ETFs from other anaerobes. Acryloyl-CoA reductase from C. propionicum has been characterized as a soluble enzyme, with kinetic properties perfectly adapted to the requirements of the organism. The enzyme appears not to be involved in anaerobic respiration with NADH or reduced ferredoxin as electron donors. There is no relationship to the trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductases from various organisms or the recently described acryloyl-CoA reductase activity of propionyl-CoA synthase from Chloroflexus aurantiacus.

The reactions of several active site mutant forms of bacterial morphinone reductase (MR) with NADH and 2-cyclohexen-1-one as substrates have been studied by stopped-flow and steady-state kinetic methods and redox potentiometry. The enzymes were designed to (i) probe a role for potential proton donors (Tyr-72 and Tyr-356) in the oxidative half-reaction of MR; (ii) assess the function of a highly conserved tryptophan residue (Trp-106) in catalysis; (iii) investigate the role of Thr-32 in modulating the FMN reduction potential and catalysis. The Y72F and Y356F enzymes retained activity in both steady-state and stopped-flow kinetic studies, indicating they do not serve as key proton donors in the oxidative reaction of MR. Taken together with our recently published data (Messiha, H. L., Munro, A. W., Bruce, N. C., Barsukov, I., and Scrutton, N. S. (2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 4627-4631) that rule out roles for Cys-191 (corresponding with the proton donor, Tyr-196, in the structurally related OYE1 enzyme) and His-186 as proton donors, we infer solvent is the source of the proton in the oxidative half-reaction of MR. We demonstrate a key role for Thr-32 in modulating the reduction potential of the FMN, which is decreased approximately 50 mV in the T32A mutant MR. This effects a change in rate-limiting step in the catalytic cycle of the T32A enzyme with the oxidizing substrate 2-cyclohexenone. Despite the conservation of Trp-106 throughout the OYE family, we show this residue does not play a major role in catalysis, although affects on substrate and coenzyme binding are observed in a W106F enzyme. Our studies show some similarities, but also major differences, in the catalytic mechanism of MR and OYE1, and emphasize the need for caution in inferring mechanism by structural comparison of highly related enzymes in the absence of solution studies.

Inclusion of an oligomeric enzyme, NAD+-dependent hydrogenase from the hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Ralstonia eutropha, into a system of reverse micelles of different sizes resulted in its dissociation into catalytically active heterodimers and subunits, which were characterized in reactions with various substrates. It was found that: 1) the native tetrameric form of this enzyme catalyzes all types of studied reactions; 2) hydrogenase dimer, HoxHY, is a minimal structural unit catalyzing hydrogenase reaction with an artificial electron donor, reduced methyl viologen; 3) all structural fragments containing FMN and NAD+/NADH-binding sites exhibit catalytic activity in diaphorase reactions with one- and two-electron acceptors; 4) small subunits, HoxY and HoxU also exhibit activity in diaphorase reactions with artificial acceptors. These results can be considered as indirect evidence that the second FMN molecule may be associated with one of the small subunits (HoxY or HoxU) of the hydrogenase from R. eutropha.

We have recently reported that Shewanella oneidensis, a Gram-negative gamma-proteobacterium with a rich arsenal of redox proteins, possesses four old yellow enzyme (OYE) homologues. Here, we report a series of high resolution crystal structures for one of these OYEs, Shewanella yellow enzyme 1 (SYE1), in its oxidized form at 1.4A resolution, which binds a molecule of PEG 400 in the active site, and in its NADH-reduced and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde- and p-hydroxyacetophenone-bound forms at 1.7A resolution. Although the overall structure of SYE1 reveals a monomeric enzyme based on the alpha(8)beta(8) barrel scaffold observed for other OYEs, the active site exhibits a unique combination of features: a strongly butterfly-bent FMN cofactor both in the oxidized and NADH-reduced forms, a collapsed and narrow active site tunnel, and a novel combination of conserved residues involved in the binding of phenolic ligands. Furthermore, we identify a second p-hydroxybenzaldehyde-binding site in a hydrophobic cleft next to the entry of the active site tunnel in the capping subdomain, formed by a restructuring of Loop 3 to an "open" conformation. This constitutes the first evidence to date for the entire family of OYEs that Loop 3 may indeed play a dynamic role in ligand binding and thus provides insights into the elusive NADH complex and into substrate binding in general. Structure-based sequence alignments indicate that the novelties we observe in SYE1 are supported by conserved residues in a number of structurally uncharacterized OYEs from the beta- and gamma-proteobacteria, suggesting that SYE1 represents a new subfamily of bacterial OYEs.

Two genes that encode proteins which share 30-35% sequence identity with yeast OYE (Old Yellow Enzyme, an NAD(P)H FMN-oxidoreductase), the well-studied archetype of the OYE protein family, have been identified in Gluconobacter oxydans M5. The two genes are localized in the chromosome and plasmid, respectively. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the enzymes with database entries revealed 75.1% similarity and 64.9% identity to that of the Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea NAD(P)H-dependent 2-cyclohexen-1-one reductase. The two proteins were expressed as His-tag fusion proteins in Escherichia coli and purified. The ability of the purified proteins to hydrogenate citral was identified. The results showed that the alpha,beta-double bond of citral cis-isomer 'neral' could be stereoselectively reduced to produce citronellal by the purified OYE homologues.

A novel NADH dehydrogenase (NADH-dh) involving FAD as coenzyme, distinct from NADPH dehydrogenase (NADPH-dh, old yellow enzyme, EC 1.6.99.1), was found in the same cytoplasmic fraction of Gluconobacter strains. Conventional artificial electron acceptors were more effective than molecular oxygen in the NADH-dh reaction. NADH-dh did not appear to be identical with any previously described flavoproteins, although the N-terminal amino acid sequence showed 100% similarity with a non-heme chloroperoxidase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of NADPH-dh matched 100% a putative oxidoreductase containing the old yellow enzyme-like FMN-binding domain. NADH-dh might function to regenerate NAD coupling with NAD-dependent dehydrogenases in the cytoplasm of Gluconobacter strains.

Two high-molecular-weight rubredoxin genes (hrb) from Clostridium thermocellum and Moorella thermoacetica were expressed in Escherichia coli and their translated products (Hrb) were characterized. M. thermoacetica Hrb showed strong diaphorase activity. In contrast, C. thermocellum Hrb, containing neither FMN nor FAD in the molecule, showed flavin reductase activity with moderate diaphorase activity. Both enzymes were optimally active at about 50 degrees C.

A small enzyme showing diaphorase activity was purified from culture supernatant of Clostridium kluyveri and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined. This sequence identified a gene (diaA) encoding a protein (DiaA) of 229 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 24,981 in the genomic DNA sequence database of C. kluyveri constructed by the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth. The predicted protein was composed of a flavin reductase-like domain and a rubredoxin-like domain from its N-terminus. The diaA gene was cloned into an expression vector and expressed in an Escherichia coli recombinant. Recombinant enzyme rDiaA showed NADH/NADPH diaphorase activity with 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and nitro blue tetrazolium. The enzyme was most active at pH 8.0 at 40 degrees C. The UV-visible absorption spectrum and thin layer chromatography (TLC) analyses indicated that one rDiaA molecule contained a tightly bound FMN molecule as a prosthetic group. An iron molecule was also detected in an enzyme molecule.

Aflatoxins, the most toxic and carcinogenic family of fungal secondary metabolites, are frequent contaminants of foods intended for human consumption. Previous studies showed that formation of G-group aflatoxins (AFs) from O-methylsterigmatocystin (OMST) by certain Aspergillus species involves oxidation by the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, OrdA (AflQ) and CypA (AflU). However, some of the steps in the conversion have not yet been fully defined. Extracts of Aspergillus parasiticus disruption mutants of the OYE-FMN binding domain reductase-encoding gene nadA (aflY) contained a 386 Da AFG(1) precursor. A compound with this mass was predicted as the product of sequential OrdA and CypA oxidation of OMST. Increased amounts of a 362 Da alcohol, the presumptive product of NadA reduction, accumulate in extracts of fungi with disrupted aryl alcohol dehydrogenase-encoding gene norB. These results show that biosynthesis of AFG(1) involves NadA reduction and NorB oxidation.
