p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.2) from Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes in vivo the hydroxylation of p-hydroxybenzoate by molecular oxygen to form 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate. p-Mercaptobenzoate is also a substrate of the enzyme, but instead of being converted to the expected product, 3-hydroxy-4-mercaptobenzoate, the disulfide, 4,4'-dithiobisbenzoate, is formed. To find what mechanistic information this unusual reaction provided, steady state kinetic analyses, combined with rapid reaction studies of the changes in the enzyme-bound FAD, were carried out with the separate half-reactions involved in catalysis. Most of the kinetic measurements were made with a stopped-flow spectrophotometer designed for working anaerobically and connected on line to a minicomputer. Initial rate studies, upon varying systematically the concentrations of p-mercaptobenzoate, NADPH, and oxygen showed that the enzyme interacted with the substrates in the same manner as it does with p-hydroxybenzoate in place of the mercaptan. That is, a ternary complex is formed between enzyme, mercaptobenzoate, and NDAPH, followed by reaction and release of NADP+. Then a second ternary complex is formed between enzyme, mercaptobenzoate, and oxygen followed by reaction, liberation of product, and return to the resting state of the enzyme. Rapid reaction studies showed that the first half-reaction was analagous to that with the natural substrate. The enzyme-flavin is reduced to the 1,5-dihydroflavin by NADPH, and the rate of reaction is dramatically enhanced in the presence of mercaptobenzoate. The rate enhancement with this enzyme correlates well with the presence of a dianion form of the substrate on the enzyme. Examination of the second half-reaction showed that the reduced flavin on the enzyme formed transient intermediates upon reaction with oxygen, which were analogous to the intermediates in reactions where the enzyme forms an hydroxylated product. The oxidation of p-mercaptobenzoate by H2O2 in free solution resulted in the same disulfide as formed in the enzymatic reaction, only orders of magnitude slower. A sulfenic acid was probably the initial oxidation product from p-mercaptobenzoate, and this reacted very fast, and nonenzymatically, with mercaptobenzoate to form the disulfide and H20. The significance of the enzyme reaction with oxygen when complexed with p-mercaptobenzoate is discussed in relation to the mechanism of hydroxylation.

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas fluorescens and salicylate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida have been reconstituted with 13C- and 15N-enriched FAD. The protein preparations were studied by 13C-NMR, 15N-NMR and 31P-NMR techniques in the oxidized and in the two-electron-reduced states. The chemical shift values are compared with those of free flavin in water or chloroform. It is shown that the pi electron distribution in oxidized free p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is comparable to free flavin in water, and it is therefore suggested that the flavin ring is solvent accessible. Addition of substrate has a strong effect on several resonances, e.g. C2 and N5, which indicates that the flavin ring becomes shielded from solvent and also that a conformational change occurs involving the positive pole of an alpha-helix microdipole. In the reduced state, the flavin in p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is bound in the anionic form, i.e. carrying a negative charge at N1. The flavin is bound in a more planar configuration than when free in solution. Upon binding of substrate the resonances of N1, C10a and N10 shift upfield. It is suggested that these upfield shifts are the result of a conformational change similar, but not identical, to the one observed in the oxidized state. The 13C chemical shifts of FAD bound to apo(salicylate hydroxylase) indicate that in the oxidized state the flavin ring is also fairly solvent accessible in the free enzyme. Addition of substrate has a strong effect on the hydrogen bond formed with O4 alpha. It is suggested that this is due to the exclusion of water from the active site by the binding of substrate. In the reduced state, the flavin is anionic. Addition of substrate forces the flavin ring to adopt a more planar configuration, i.e. a sp2-hybridized N5 atom and a slightly sp3-hybridized N10 atom. The NMR results are discussed in relation to the reaction catalyzed by the enzymes.

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (PHBH) is an NADPH-dependent enzyme. To locate the NADPH binding site, the enzyme was crystallized under anaerobic conditions in the presence of the substrate p-hydroxybenzoate, the coenzyme analogue adenosine 5-diphosphoribose (ADPR), and sodium dithionite. This yielded colorless crystals that were suitable for X-ray analysis. Diffraction data were collected up to 2.7-A resolution. A difference Fourier between data from these colorless crystals and data from yellow crystals of the enzyme-substrate complex showed that in the colorless crystals the flavin ring was absent. The adenosine 5'-diphosphate moiety, which is the common part between FAD and ADPR, was still present. After restrained least-squares refinement of the enzyme-substrate complex with the riboflavin omitted from the model, additional electron density appeared near the pyrophosphate, which indicated the presence of an ADPR molecule in the FAD binding site of PHBH. The complete ADPR molecule was fitted to the electron density, and subsequent least-squares refinement resulted in a final R factor of 16.8%. Replacement of bound FAD by ADPR was confirmed by equilibrium dialysis, where it was shown that ADPR can effectively remove FAD from the enzyme under mild conditions in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 8.0. The empty pocket left by the flavin ring is filled by solvent, leaving the architecture of the active site and the binding of the substrate largely unaffected.

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas fluorescens contains six methionine residues, one of which is N-terminal. After CNBr cleavage five peptides, ranging from 13 to 158 residues in length, and free homoserine were isolated and purified by repeated gel filtration. The alignment of the CNBr fragments was deduced from a 0.25-nm electron density map and sequence data. The isolated fragments account for the entire polypeptide chain. The amino acid sequence of the N-terminal quarter of the polypeptide chain was determined. The X-ray results together with the sequence data yielded details of the binding of FAD. The AMP moiety was bound to a beta alpha beta unit resembling that found in the dehydrogenases. Hydrogen bonds were present between the protein and the ribityl residue and the isoalloxazine ring. Furthermore, a homology was found between the N-terminal amino acid sequence of p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase and another enzyme containing FAD, viz. D-amino acid oxidase. This finding suggests the presence of a mononucleotide binding fold at the N terminus of the latter.

Arg44, located at the si-face side of the flavin ring in 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, was changed to lysine by site-specific mutagenesis. Crystals of [R44K]4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase complexed with 4-hydroxybenzoate diffract to 0.22-nm resolution. The structure of [R44K]4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is identical to the wild-type enzyme except for local changes in the vicinity of the mutation. The peptide unit between Ile43 and Lys44 is flipped by about 180 degrees in 50% of the molecules. The phi, psi angles in both the native and flipped conformation are outside the allowed regions and indicate a strained conformation. [R44K]4-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase has a decreased affinity for the flavin prosthetic group. This is ascribed to the lost interactions between the side chain of Arg44 and the diphosphoribose moiety of the FAD. The replacement of Arg44 by Lys does not change the position of the flavin ring which occupies the same interior position as in wild type. [R44K]4-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase fully couples flavin reduction to substrate hydroxylation. Stopped-flow kinetics showed that the effector role of 4-hydroxybenzoate is largely conserved in the mutant. Replacement of Arg44 by Lys however affects NADPH binding, resulting in a low yield of the charge-transfer species between reduced flavin and NADP+. It is inferred from these data that Arg44 is indispensable for optimal catalysis.

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas fluorescens contains five sulfhydryl groups per subunit. Cysteine-->serine replacements show that the thiols are not essential for catalysis. The increased dissociation constant for FAD in mutant Cys158Ser suggests that Cys158 is important for the solvation of the pyrophosphate moiety of the prosthetic group. Wild-type p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is rapidly inactivated by mercurial compounds. Inactivation by a spin-labeled derivative of p-chloromercuribenzoate is fully abolished in mutant Cys211Ser. Incorporation of the spin label in the other Cys-->Ser mutants strongly impairs substrate binding without affecting the catalytic properties of the FAD. The results are discussed with respect to previous tentative assignments from chemical modification studies and in light of the 3-D structure of the enzyme-substrate complex.

4-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas sp. CBS3 was purified by five consecutive steps to apparent homogeneity. The enrichment was 50-fold with a yield of about 20%. The enzyme is a homodimeric flavoprotein monooxygenase with each 44-kDa polypeptide chain containing one FAD molecule as a rather weakly bound prosthetic group. In contrast to other 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylases of known primary structure, the enzyme preferred NADH over NADPH as electron donor. The pH optimum for catalysis was pH 8.0 with a maximum turnover rate around 45 degrees C. Chloride ions were inhibitory, and competitive with respect to NADH. 4-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas sp. CBS3 has a narrow substrate specificity. In addition to the transformation of 4-hydroxybenzoate to 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, the enzyme converted 2-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoate, 2-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoate, and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate. With all aromatic substrates, no uncoupling of hydroxylation was observed. The gene encoding 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas sp. CBS3 was cloned in Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1182 bp that corresponded to a protein of 394 amino acid residues. Upstream of the pobA gene, a sequence resembling an E. coli promoter was identified, which led to constitutive expression of the cloned gene in E. coli TG1. The deduced amino acid sequence of Pseudomonas sp. CBS3 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase revealed 53% identity with that of the pobA enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens for which a three-dimensional structure is known. The active-site residues and the fingerprint sequences associated with FAD binding are strictly conserved. This and the conservation of secondary structures implies that the enzymes share a similar three-dimensional fold. Based on an isolated region of sequence divergence and site-directed mutagenesis data of 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from P. fluorescens, it is proposed that helix H2 is involved in determining the coenzyme specificity.

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, D-amino acid oxidase, cholesterol oxidase and glucose oxidase form a family of structurally related flavoenzymes. Comparison of their three-dimensional structures reveal how the same FAD-binding scaffold has been employed to implement diverse active-site architectures, suited for different types of catalytic reactions. The substrate binding mode differs in each of these enzymes, with the catalytically relevant residues not located on homologous positions. A common feature is provided by the ability of these enzyme to bury their substrates beneath the protein surface. In D-amino acid oxidase and cholesterol oxidase, a loop forms a 'lid' controlling the active site accessibility, whereas in p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase is the flavin itself, which swings out to allow substrate binding. The crystallographic analysis has revealed that the GTP-dissociation inhibitor of RAB GTPases has a folding topology remarkably similar to p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase. This finding highlights the versatile nature of this folding topology, which in addition to flavin-dependent catalysis, is suited for diverse functions, such as the regulation of GTPases.

p-Hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (PHBH) is the archetype of the family of NAD(P)H-dependent flavoprotein aromatic hydroxylases. These enzymes share a conserved FAD-binding domain but lack a recognizable fold for binding the pyridine nucleotide. We have switched the coenzyme specificity of strictly NADPH-dependent PHBH from Pseudomonas fluorescens by site-directed mutagenesis. To that end, we altered the solvent exposed helix H2 region (residues 33-40) of the FAD-binding domain. Non-conservative selective replacements of Arg33 and Tyr38 weakened the binding of NADPH without disturbing the protein architecture. Introduction of a basic residue at position 34 increased the NADPH binding strength. Double (M2) and quadruple (M4) substitutions in the N-terminal part of helix H2 did not change the coenzyme specificity. By extending the replacements towards residues 38 and 40, M5 and M6 mutants were generated which were catalytically more efficient with NADH than with NADPH. It is concluded that specificity in P. fluorescens PHBH is conferred by interactions of Arg33, Tyr38 and Arg42 with the 2'-phosphate moiety of bound NADPH, and that introduction of an acidic group at position 38 potentially enables the recognition of the 2'-hydroxy group of NADH. This is the first report on the coenzyme reversion of a flavoprotein aromatic hydroxylase.

Although Rhodococcus spp. strains are able to degrade methoxyphenols by enzymatic means, the contact with veratric acid (3, 4-dimethoxybenzoic acid, hereafter called veratrate) is very stressful for the cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM 1069 (Rh). Within 5 min of contact veratrate in phosphate buffer, the emergence of many vacuoles was observed in the cell body and respiratory bursts, with violent endogenous oxygen uptake, took place several times during the 24 h incubation. During these peaks (where the cells were in their MAX states), increased activity of NADH oxidase was noted, accompanied by maximal accumulation of vanillic and isovanillic acids (3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid respectively, hereafter called vanillates) in the incubation medium, which appeared to be products of veratrate demethylation. At the troughs (cell in their MIN state), the vacuoles disappeared from the cell body, oxygen uptake was normal, and the pool of vanillates decreased while the veratrate level in the medium increased. The cells from MAX and MIN states reacted in opposite ways in the presence of either formaldehyde and GSH, or paraquate and cAMP. The NADH oxidase activity, measured as oxygen uptake against NADH in the membrane pellets of MAX and MIN stage cells, differed in their response to the exogenous presence of FAD, ATP, cAMP, catalase, GSH, H(2)O(2)and methoxyphenolic substrates. The periodic character of these events is described here. Co-operation between two multiprotein membrane complexes (NAD(P)H oxidase and 3-O/4-O-demethylases) in Rhodococcus erythropolis cells and their competition for two common substrates-NAD(P)H and O(2)-is proposed as an explanation for rhythmical nature of these reactions.
