Muconolactone delta-isomerase (EC 5.3.3.4) and beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.24) mediate consecutive reactions in the beta-ketoadipate pathway of bacteria. An earlier investigation (Yeh, W.K., Davis, G., Fletcher, P., and Ornston, L.N. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 4920-4923) revealed that the respective NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of Pseudomonas putida muconolactone isomerase and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase II are evolutionarily homologous. In this report, we describe the purification of Pseudomonas beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase and present evidence indicating that the protein is a trimer composed of identical 11,000-dalton subunits. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of Pseudomonas muconolactone isomerase and Pseudomonas enol-lactone hydrolase have diverged widely from each other, yet the two sequences contain different fragments of an ancestral sequence which is represented in Acinetobacter enol-lactone hydrolase II. The widely divergent Pseudomonas muconolactone isomerase and Pseudomonas enol-lactone hydrolase sequences each contain unique sets of repeated peptides. In principle, the repetitive sequences might have been introduced by elongation mutations which occurred early in the evolution of the proteins. However, the divergence of Pseudomonas muconolactone isomerase and Pseudomonas enol-lactone hydrolase is so extreme that the observed sequence repetitions cannot have been conserved from ancestral duplication mutations. Rather, the data favor the interpretation that copies of DNA were substituted into structural genes for the enzymes as they diverged.

Muconolactone isomerase (EC 5.3.3.4) and beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.24) mediate consecutive catabolic steps in bacteria. Separately inducible beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolases I and II are formed in representatives of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. When subjected to DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Acinetobacter enol-lactone hydrolase I displays heterogeneous behavior which, in whole or in part, appears to be due to modifications of sulfhydryl groups in the protein; the enzyme is unusual in that its NH2-terminal amino acid is cysteine. Comparison of the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of Acinetobacter enollactone hydrolase I, reported here, with the corresponding amino acid sequences of Acinetobacter enollactone hydrolase II and Pseudomonas enol-lactone hydrolase indicates that all three proteins have diverged widely from a common evolutionary origin. Sequence comparisons suggest that divergence of the Acinetobacter enol-lactone hydrolase structural genes was achieved by substitution with DNA derived from an ancestral muconolactone isomerase structural gene.

gamma-Carboxymuconolactone decarobxylase (EC 4.1.1.44) and muconolactone isomerase (EC 5.3.3.4) mediate chemically analogous reactions in bacteria. The enzymes are inducible, and different metabolites trigger the respective syntheses of the decarboxylases in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Pseudomonas putida. The decarobxylases share similar oligomeric structures in which identical subunits of about 13,300 daltons appear to be self-associated into hexamers. Identical residues are found in 18 of the first 36 positions of the enzymes' NH2-terminal amino acid sequences. Thus, genetic rearrangements appear to have placed homologous structural genes for the decarboxylases under different transcriptional control in the two bacterial species. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of the decarboxylases and muconolactone isomerases are similar, suggesting that a common ancestral protein gave rise to the enzymes with different (albeit analogous) activities. In addition, the NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of the decarboxylases appear to have been conserved at a second region within the primary structure of the muconolactone isomerases. As has been observed with the two enol-lactone hydrolases (EC 3.1.3.24) of Acinetobacter, the structural genes for the decarboxylases and the isomerases appear to have diverged widely as they were co-selected within a single cell line, In part the divergence appears to have been achieved by mutations in which fragments of DNA within structural genes are replaced with fragments of DNA derived from a co-evolving sequence.

An enzyme of Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP 134 which catalyzes dechlorination of (4R, 5R)- and (4R,5S)-5-chloro-3-methyl- and (4R, 5S)-5-chloromuconolactone of principally 3-methyl-trans-, 3-methyl-cis-dienelactone and cis-dienelactone, respectively, was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme was identified as muconolactone isomerase on the basis of its high activity with muconolactone and on its high degree of sequence similarity with previously described muconolactone isomerases. Molecular mass determinations of the highly hydrophobic and heat-resistant enzyme indicated a decameric structure involving a single 10.100-kDa subunit similar to that of muconolactone isomerase of Pseudomonas putida. Kinetic analysis showed cooperative effects between the subunits during conversion of (4R, 5S)-5-chloro-3 -methylmuconolactone. (4R, 5S)-5-chloromuconolactone was the preferred substrate, over the natural substrate (4S)-muconolactone. The (4S, 5S)-structure was found to be an inhibitor of (4R, 5R)-5-chloro-3-methylmuconolactone transformation. Methylsubstitution of the substrate results in a higher affinity for the enzyme, but a drastically lower velocity, resulting in a lower specificity constant.

The biochemical characterization of the muconate and the chloromuconate cycloisomerases of the chlorophenol-utilizing Rhodococcus erythropolis strain 1CP previously indicated that efficient chloromuconate conversion among the gram-positive bacteria might have evolved independently of that among gram-negative bacteria. Based on sequences of the N terminus and of tryptic peptides of the muconate cycloisomerase, a fragment of the corresponding gene has now been amplified and used as a probe for the cloning of catechol catabolic genes from R. erythropolis. The clone thus obtained expressed catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, muconate cycloisomerase, and muconolactone isomerase activities. Sequencing of the insert on the recombinant plasmid pRER1 revealed that the genes are transcribed in the order catA catB catC. Open reading frames downstream of catC may have a function in carbohydrate metabolism. The predicted protein sequence of the catechol 1,2-dioxygenase was identical to the one from Arthrobacter sp. strain mA3 in 59% of the positions. The chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenases and the chloromuconate cycloisomerases of gram-negative bacteria appear to be more closely related to the catechol 1,2-dioxygenases and muconate cycloisomerases of the gram-positive strains than to the corresponding enzymes of gram-negative bacteria.

An enzyme specifically induced during 4-methylmuconolactone metabolism by Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP 134 and that exhibited muconolactone isomerizing activity was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme, involved in the isomerization of 3-methylmuconolactone had a high degree of sequence similarity with muconolactone isomerase of Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP 134 and other previously described muconolactone isomerases of the 3-oxoadipate pathway. Kinetic analysis showed that the enzyme has a substrate spectrum and a reaction mechanism similar to those of the muconolactone isomerase, but that it has distinct kinetic properties.

A 2,585 bp chromosomal DNA segment of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 (formerly: Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134) which contains a gene cluster encoding part of the modified ortho-cleavage pathway encodes a putative transport protein for 4-methylmuconolactone, a novel 4-methylmuconolactone methylisomerase and methylmuconolactone isomerase. The putative 4-methylmuconolactone transporter, a protein with a calculated molecular mass of 45.8 kDa, exhibits sequence homology to other members of the major superfamily of transmembrane facilitators and shows the common structural motif of 12 transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments and the hallmark amino acid motif characteristic of the superfamily. Consistent with the novelty of the reaction catalyzed by 4-methylmuconolactone methylisomerase, no primary sequence homologies were found between this enzyme or its gene and other proteins or genes in the data banks, suggesting that this enzyme represents a new type of isomerase. The molecular mass of the native 4-methylmuconolactone methylisomerase was determined by gel filtration analysis to be 25 +/- 2 kDa. From the polynucleotide sequence of the gene, a molecular mass of 12.9 kDa was calculated and hence we predict a homodimeric quaternary structure. The high sensitivity of 4-methylmuconolactone methylisomerase to heavy metals and thiol-modifying reagents implicates the involvement of sulfhydryl groups in the catalytic reaction. The methylmuconolactone isomerase - calculated molecular mass 10.3 kDa - has a primary structure related to the classical muconolactone isomerases (EC 5.3.3.4) of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, of two Pseudomonas putida strains and of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134, suggesting that these are all isoenzymes. Consistent with this proposal is the finding that the purified protein exhibits muconolactone-isomerizing activity.

The aniline-assimilating bacterium Frateuria species ANA-18 produced two catechol 1,2-dioxygenases, CD I and CD II, and two muconate cycloisomerases, MC I and MC II. The catA genes catA1 and catA2 encoding CD I and CD II, respectively, were cloned from a gene library of this bacterium. The catA1 gene was clustered with catB1 encoding MC I, catC1 encoding muconolactone isomerase (MI), catD encoding beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase (ELH), and ORFR1 encoding a putative LysR-type regulator. The organization of these genes was ORFR1catB1C1D. The catA2 gene also constructed a gene cluster involving catB2 encoding MC II, catC2 encoding MI, and ORFR2 encoding a putative LysR-type regulator with the alignment of ORFR2catB2A2C2. The intergenic regions of ORFR1-catB1 and ORFR2-catB2 contained homologous sequences with the catR-catB intergenic region containing a repression binding site and activation binding site of CatR in Pseudomonas putida. These findings suggest that the two cat clusters were regulated independently in their expression. When a product of cloned catD was added to a reaction mixture containing beta-ketoadipate enol-lactone, beta-ketoadipate was produced. This observation showed that the cloned catD encoded ELH and was expressed in Escherichia coli. We found that Frateuria sp. ANA-18 had a large plasmid with a molecular size more than 100kb. Polymerase chain reaction amplifying partial catA genes and Southern hybridization analyses with probes containing catA genes were conducted, to examine the localization of the two catA genes. We concluded that the catA1 and catA2 genes were located on the chromosomal and large plasmid DNAs, respectively, in Frateuria sp. ANA-18.

The 4-chloro- and 2,4-dichlorophenol-degrading strain Rhodococcus opacus 1CP has previously been shown to acquire, during prolonged adaptation, the ability to mineralize 2-chlorophenol. In addition, homogeneous chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase from 2-chlorophenol-grown biomass has shown relatively high activity towards 3-chlorocatechol. Based on sequences of the N terminus and tryptic peptides of this enzyme, degenerate PCR primers were now designed and used for cloning of the respective gene from genomic DNA of strain 1CP. A 9.5-kb fragment containing nine open reading frames was obtained on pROP1. Besides other genes, a gene cluster consisting of four chlorocatechol catabolic genes was identified. As judged by sequence similarity and correspondence of predicted N termini with those of purified enzymes, the open reading frames correspond to genes for a second chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase (ClcA2), a second chloromuconate cycloisomerase (ClcB2), a second dienelactone hydrolase (ClcD2), and a muconolactone isomerase-related enzyme (ClcF). All enzymes of this new cluster are only distantly related to the known chlorocatechol enzymes and appear to represent new evolutionary lines of these activities. UV overlay spectra as well as high-pressure liquid chromatography analyses confirmed that 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate is transformed by ClcB2 to 5-chloromuconolactone, which during turnover by ClcF gives cis-dienelactone as the sole product. cis-Dienelactone was further hydrolyzed by ClcD2 to maleylacetate. ClcF, despite its sequence similarity to muconolactone isomerases, no longer showed muconolactone-isomerizing activity and thus represents an enzyme dedicated to its new function as a 5-chloromuconolactone dehalogenase. Thus, during 3-chlorocatechol degradation by R. opacus 1CP, dechlorination is catalyzed by a muconolactone isomerase-related enzyme rather than by a specialized chloromuconate cycloisomerase.

Muconate cycloisomerases are known to catalyze the reversible conversion of 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate by 1,4- and 3,6-cycloisomerization into (4S)-(+)-2-chloro- and (4R/5S)-(+)-5-chloromuconolactone. 2-Chloromuconolactone is transformed by muconolactone isomerase with concomitant dechlorination and decarboxylation into the antibiotic protoanemonin. The low k(cat) for this compound compared to that for 5-chloromuconolactone suggests that protoanemonin formation is of minor importance. However, since 2-chloromuconolactone is the initially predominant product of 2-chloromuconate cycloisomerization, significant amounts of protoanemonin were formed in reaction mixtures containing large amounts of muconolactone isomerase and small amounts of muconate cycloisomerase. Such enzyme ratios resemble those observed in cell extracts of benzoate-grown cells of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134. In contrast, cis-dienelactone was the predominant product formed by enzyme preparations, in which muconolactone isomerase was in vitro rate limiting. In reaction mixtures containing chloromuconate cycloisomerase and muconolactone isomerase, only minute amounts of protoanemonin were detected, indicating that only small amounts of 2-chloromuconolactone were formed by cycloisomerization and that chloromuconate cycloisomerase actually preferentially catalyzes a 3,6-cycloisomerization.
