Abstract
Calcium ions play important roles in nearly every biological process, yet whole-proteome analysis of calcium effectors has been hindered by lack of high-throughput, unbiased, and quantitative methods to identify proteins-calcium engagement. To address this, we adapted protein thermostability assays in the budding yeast, human cells, and mouse mitochondria. Based on calcium-dependent thermostability, we identified 2884 putative calcium-regulated proteins across human, mouse, and yeast proteomes. These data revealed calcium engagement of novel signaling hubs and cellular processes, including metabolic enzymes and the spliceosome. Cross-species comparison of calcium-protein engagement and mutagenesis experiments identified residue-specific cation engagement, even within well-known EF-hand domains. Additionally, we found that the dienoyl-CoA reductase DECR1 binds calcium at physiologically-relevant concentrations with substrate-specific affinity, suggesting direct calcium regulation of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. These unbiased, proteomic analyses of calcium effectors establish a key resource to dissect cation engagement and its mechanistic effects across multiple species and diverse biological processes.

Liu L, Gao X, Dong C, Wang H, Chen X, Ma X, Liu S, Chen Q, Lin D, Jiao N, Tang K. Enantioselective transformation of phytoplankton-derived dihydroxypropanesulfonate by marine bacteria. THE ISME JOURNAL 2024; 18:wrae084. [PMID: 38709871 PMCID: PMC11131964 DOI: 10.1093/ismejo/wrae084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Chirality, a fundamental property of matter, is often overlooked in the studies of marine organic matter cycles. Dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS), a globally abundant organosulfur compound, serves as an ecologically important currency for nutrient and energy transfer from phytoplankton to bacteria in the ocean. However, the chirality of DHPS in nature and its transformation remain unclear. Here, we developed a novel approach using chiral phosphorus-reagent labeling to separate DHPS enantiomers. Our findings demonstrated that at least one enantiomer of DHPS is present in marine diatoms and coccolithophores, and that both enantiomers are widespread in marine environments. A novel chiral-selective DHPS catabolic pathway was identified in marine Roseobacteraceae strains, where HpsO and HpsP dehydrogenases at the gateway to DHPS catabolism act specifically on R-DHPS and S-DHPS, respectively. R-DHPS is also a substrate for the dehydrogenase HpsN. All three dehydrogenases generate stable hydrogen bonds between the chirality-center hydroxyls of DHPS and highly conserved residues, and HpsP also form coordinate-covalent bonds between the chirality-center hydroxyls and Zn2+, which determines the mechanistic basis of strict stereoselectivity. We further illustrated the role of enzymatic promiscuity in the evolution of DHPS metabolism in Roseobacteraceae and SAR11. This study provides the first evidence of chirality's involvement in phytoplankton-bacteria metabolic currencies, opening a new avenue for understanding the ocean organosulfur cycle.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 414:125564. [PMID: 33684819 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Gluconate is known to mediate metal leaching. However, during bioleaching by e.g., Gluconobacter oxydans, gluconate can be oxidized to 2-ketogluconate and 5-ketogluconate. The impact of bio-oxidation of gluconate on metal leaching has not been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate leaching of rare earth elements (REEs) and base metals from spent nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries using gluconate, 2-ketogluconate and 5-ketogluconate. Batch leaching assays were conducted under controlled and uncontrolled pH conditions for 14 days using 60 mM of either the individual leaching agents or their various combinations. At target pH of 6.0 ± 0.1 and 9.0 ± 0.1 and without pH control, complexolysis was the dominating leaching mechanism and higher REE leaching efficiency was obtained with gluconate, while 5-ketogluconate enabled more efficient base metal leaching. At target pH of 3.0 ± 0.1, acidolysis dominated, and the base metal and REE leaching yields with all the tested leaching agents were higher than under the other studied pH conditions. The highest base metal and REE leaching yields (%) were obtained using gluconate at target pH of 3.0 ± 0.1 being 100.0 Mn, 90.3 Fe, 89.5 Co, 58.5 Ni, 24.0 Cu, 29.3 Zn and 56.1 total REEs. The obtained results are useful in optimization of heterotrophic bioleaching.

Abstract
The structure of a Pseudomonas borneol dehydrogenase was determined at 1.84 Å resolution. Major differences from its homologues in the C-terminal helices and the associated loops may suggest determinants for substrate recognition. During the microbial degradation of borneol, a bicyclic plant monoterpene, it is first converted into camphor by borneol dehydrogenase (BDH) and then enters a known camphor-degradation pathway. Previously, a recombinant Pseudomonas BDH was found in inclusion bodies when expressed in Escherichia coli. After refolding, it was still unstable and was difficult to concentrate. Here, the protein-expression conditions were improved by changing the medium from lysogeny broth to Terrific Broth, yielding a soluble form of the enzyme with higher activity. The protein was crystallized and its 3D structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. Like other known homologues such as quinuclidinone reductase, the protein forms a tetramer with subunits containing Rossmann folds. Structural comparison revealed major differences in the C-terminal helices and the associated loops. It is likely that these regions contain the determinants for substrate recognition.

Abstract
Gluconate 5-dehydrogenase (Ga5DH; EC 1.1.1.69) from Lentibacter algarum (LaGa5DH) was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The protein was crystallized and the crystal structure was solved at 2.1 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to the monoclinic system, with space group P1 and unit-cell parameters a = 55.42, b = 55.48, c = 79.16 Å, α = 100.51, β = 105.66, γ = 97.99°. The structure revealed LaGaDH to be a tetramer, with each subunit consisting of six α-helices and three antiparallel β-hairpins. LaGa5DH has high structural similarity to other Ga5DH proteins, demonstrating that this enzyme is highly conserved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is a major pathogen of Nile tilapia, a global commodity of the aquaculture sector. The aims of this study were to evaluate protein expression in the main genotypes of GBS isolated from diseased fishes in Brazil using a label-free shotgun nano-liquid chromatography-ultra definition mass spectrometry (nanoLC-UDMSE) approach and to compare the differential abundance of proteins identified in strains isolated from GBS-infected fishes and humans. RESULTS A total of 1070 protein clusters were identified by nanoLC-UDMSE in 5 fish-adapted GBS strains belonging to sequence types ST-260 and ST-927 and the non-typeable (NT) lineage and 1 human GBS strain (ST-23). A total of 1065 protein clusters corresponded to the pan-proteome of fish-adapted GBS strains; 989 of these were identified in all fish-adapted GBS strains (core proteome), and 62 were shared by at least two strains (accessory proteome). Proteins involved in the stress response and in the regulation of gene expression, metabolism and virulence were detected, reflecting the adaptive ability of fish-adapted GBS strains in response to stressor factors that affect bacterial survival in the aquatic environment and bacterial survival and multiplication inside the host cell. Measurement of protein abundance among different hosts showed that 5 and 26 proteins were exclusively found in the human- and fish-adapted GBS strains, respectively; the proteins exclusively identified in fish isolates were mainly related to virulence factors. Furthermore, 215 and 269 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in the fish-adapted GBS strains in comparison to the human isolate. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that the core proteome of fish-adapted GBS strains is conserved and demonstrated high similarity of the proteins expressed by fish-adapted strains to the proteome of the human GBS strain. This high degree of proteome conservation of different STs suggests that, a monovalent vaccine may be effective against these variants.

Abstract
Rare sugars and sugar derivatives that can be obtained from abundant sugars are of great interest to biochemical and pharmaceutical research. Here, we describe the substrate scope of a short‐chain dehydrogenase/reductase from Sphingomonas species A1 (SpsADH) in the oxidation of aldonates and polyols. The resulting products are rare uronic acids and rare sugars respectively. We provide insight into the substrate recognition of SpsADH using kinetic analyses, which show that the configuration of the hydroxyl groups adjacent to the oxidized carbon is crucial for substrate recognition. Furthermore, the specificity is demonstrated by the oxidation of d‐sorbitol leading to l‐gulose as sole product instead of a mixture of d‐glucose and l‐gulose. Finally, we applied the enzyme to the synthesis of l‐gulose from d‐sorbitol in an in vitro system using a NADH oxidase for cofactor recycling. This study shows the usefulness of exploring the substrate scope of enzymes to find new enzymatic reaction pathways from renewable resources to value‐added compounds.

Abstract
UNLABELLED β-Ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase (FabG) catalyzes the key reductive reaction in the elongation cycle of fatty acid synthesis (FAS), which is a vital metabolic pathway in bacteria and a promising target for new antibiotic development. The activation of the enzyme is usually linked to the formation of a catalytic triad and cofactor binding, and crystal structures of FabG from different organisms have been captured in either the active or inactive conformation. However, the structural elements which enable activation of FabG require further exploration. Here we report the findings of structural, enzymatic, and binding studies of the FabG protein found in the causative agent of cholera, Vibrio cholerae (vcFabG). vcFabG exists predominantly as a dimer in solution and is able to self-associate to form tetramers, which is the state seen in the crystal structure. The formation of the tetramer may be promoted by the presence of the cofactor NADP(H). The transition between the dimeric and tetrameric states of vcFabG is related to changes in the conformations of the α4/α5 helices on the dimer-dimer interface. Two glycine residues adjacent to the dimer interface (G92 and G141) are identified to be the hinge for the conformational changes, while the catalytic tyrosine (Y155) and a glutamine residue that forms hydrogen bonds to both loop β4-α4 and loop β5-α5 (Q152) stabilize the active conformation. The functions of the aforementioned residues were confirmed by binding and enzymatic assays for the corresponding mutants. IMPORTANCE This paper describes the results of structural, enzymatic, and binding studies of FabG from Vibrio cholerae (vcFabG). In this work, we dissected the structural elements responsible for the activation of vcFabG. The structural information provided here is essential for the development of antibiotics specifically targeting bacterial FabG, especially for the multidrug-resistant strains of V. cholerae.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans in mammalian extracellular matrices are degraded to their constituents, unsaturated uronic (glucuronic/iduronic) acids and amino sugars, through successive reactions of bacterial polysaccharide lyase and unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase. Genes coding for glycosaminoglycan-acting lyase, unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase, and the phosphotransferase system are assembled into a cluster in the genome of pathogenic bacteria, such as streptococci and clostridia. Here, we studied the streptococcal metabolic pathway of unsaturated uronic acids and the structure/function relationship of its relevant isomerase and dehydrogenase. Two proteins (gbs1892 and gbs1891) of Streptococcus agalactiae strain NEM316 were overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized. 4-Deoxy-l-threo-5-hexosulose-uronate (Dhu) nonenzymatically generated from unsaturated uronic acids was converted to 2-keto-3-deoxy-d-gluconate via 3-deoxy-d-glycero-2,5-hexodiulosonate through successive reactions of gbs1892 isomerase (DhuI) and gbs1891 NADH-dependent reductase/dehydrogenase (DhuD). DhuI and DhuD enzymatically corresponded to 4-deoxy-l-threo-5-hexosulose-uronate ketol-isomerase (KduI) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-d-gluconate dehydrogenase (KduD), respectively, involved in pectin metabolism, although no or low sequence identity was observed between DhuI and KduI or between DhuD and KduD, respectively. Genes for DhuI and DhuD were found to be included in the streptococcal genetic cluster, whereas KduI and KduD are encoded in clostridia. Tertiary and quaternary structures of DhuI and DhuD were determined by x-ray crystallography. Distinct from KduI β-barrels, DhuI adopts an α/β/α-barrel structure as a basic scaffold similar to that of ribose 5-phosphate isomerase. The structure of DhuD is unable to accommodate the substrate/cofactor, suggesting that conformational changes are essential to trigger enzyme catalysis. This is the first report on the bacterial metabolism of glycosaminoglycan-derived unsaturated uronic acids by isomerase and dehydrogenase.

Abstract
Bacterial cell division is strictly regulated in the formation of equal daughter cells. This process is governed by a series of spatial and temporal regulators, and several new factors of interest to the field have recently been identified. Here, we report the requirement of gluconate 5-dehydrogenase (Ga5DH) in cell division of the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis. Ga5DH catalyzes the reversible reduction of 5-ketogluconate to D-gluconate and was localized to the site of cell division. The deletion of Ga5DH in S. suis resulted in a plump morphology with aberrant septa joining the progeny. A significant increase was also observed in cell length. These defects were determined to be the consequence of Ga5DH deprivation in S. suis causing FtsZ delocalization. In addition, the interaction of FtsZ with Ga5DH in vitro was confirmed by protein interaction assays. These results indicate that Ga5DH may function to prevent the formation of ectopic Z rings during S. suis cell division.

Abstract
The improved stability and substrate specificity of cell surface displayed glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) mutants by replacing four amino acids from Bacillus subtilis by using site-directed mutagenesis was systematically investigated. A series of mutated GDHs including E170R/Q252L, V149K/E170R/Q252L, E170R/Q252L/G259A and V149K/E170R/Q252L/G259A, were fused to the ice nucleation protein for displaying on cell surface of Eschericia coli. Q252L/E170R/V149K, Q252L/E170R/G259A and Q252L/E170R/V149K/G259A variants were found stable at a wide pH range and shown excellent thermostability. Especially, the Q252L/E170R/V149K/G259A mutant showed half-life of ~3.8days at 70 °C. Q252L/E170R/V149K/G259A variant exhibited the narrowest substrate specificity for d-glucose. The whole cell displayed GDH mutant could be cultured in a large scale with excellent enzyme activity and productivity. In addition, a sensitive and stable electrochemical glucose biosensor can be prepared using the GDH-mutant bacteria modified electrode. Thus, the whole cell biocatalysts are promising candidates for exploitation in a wide range of industrial applications.

Abstract
The crystal structure of a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase from Bacillus anthracis strain `Ames Ancestor' complexed with NADP has been determined and refined to 1.87 Å resolution. The structure of the enzyme consists of a Rossmann fold composed of seven parallel β-strands sandwiched by three α-helices on each side. An NADP molecule from an endogenous source is bound in the conserved binding pocket in the syn conformation. The loop region responsible for binding another substrate forms two perpendicular short helices connected by a sharp turn.

Abstract
In vivo protein structures and protein-protein interactions are critical to the function of proteins in biological systems. As a complementary approach to traditional protein interaction identification methods, cross-linking strategies are beginning to provide additional data on protein and protein complex topological features. Previously, photocleavable protein interaction reporter (pcPIR) technology was demonstrated by cross-linking pure proteins and protein complexes and the use of ultraviolet light to cleave or release cross-linked peptides to enable identification. In the present report, the pcPIR strategy is applied to Escherichia coli cells, and in vivo protein interactions and topologies are measured. More than 1600 labeled peptides from E. coli were identified, indicating that many protein sites react with pcPIR in vivo. From those labeled sites, 53 in vivo intercross-linked peptide pairs were identified and manually validated. Approximately half of the interactions have been reported using other techniques, although detailed structures exist for very few. Three proteins or protein complexes with detailed crystallography structures are compared to the cross-linking results obtained from in vivo application of pcPIR technology.

Abstract
l-Sorbose reductase from Gluconobacter frateurii (SR) is an NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase. SR preferentially catalyzes the reversible reaction between d-sorbitol and l-sorbose with high substrate specificity. To elucidate the structural basis of the catalytic mechanism and the substrate specificity of SR, we have determined the structures of apo-SR, SR in complex with NADPH, and the inactive mutant (His116Leu) of SR in complex with NADPH and l-sorbose at 2.83 Å, 1.90 Å, and 1.80 Å resolutions, respectively. Our results show that SR belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family and forms a tetrameric structure. Although His116 is not conserved among SDR family enzymes, the structures of SR have revealed that His116 is important for the stabilization of the proton relay system and for active-site conformation as a fourth catalytic residue. In the ternary complex structure, l-sorbose is recognized by 11 hydrogen bonds. Site-directed mutagenesis of residues around the l-sorbose-binding site has shown that the loss of almost full enzymatic activity was caused by not only the substitution of putative catalytic residues but also the substitution of the residue used for the recognition of the C4 hydroxyl groups of l-sorbose (Glu154) and of the residues used for the construction of the substrate-binding pocket (Cys146 and Gly188). The recognition of the C4 hydroxyl group of l-sorbose would be indispensable for the substrate specificity of SR, which recognizes only l-sorbose and d-sorbitol but not other sugars. Our results indicated that these residues were crucial for the substrate recognition and specificity of SR.

Abstract
Galactitol 2-dehydrogenase (GatDH) belongs to the protein superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenases. As an enzyme capable of the stereo- and regioselective modification of carbohydrates, it exhibits a high potential for application in biotechnology as a biocatalyst. We have determined the crystal structure of the binary form of GatDH in complex with its cofactor NAD(H) and of the ternary form in complex with NAD(H) and three different substrates. The active form of GatDH constitutes a homo-tetramer with two magnesium-ion binding sites each formed by two opposing C termini. The catalytic tetrad is formed by Asn(116), Ser(144), Tyr(159), and Lys(163). GatDH structurally aligns well with related members of the short-chain dehydrogenase family. The substrate binding pocket can be divided into two parts of different size and polarity. In the smaller part, the side chains of amino acids Ser(144), Ser(146), and Asn(151) are important determinants for the binding specificity and the orientation of (pro-) chiral compounds. The larger part of the pocket is elongated and flanked by polar and non-polar residues, enabling a rather broad substrate spectrum. The presented structures provide valuable information for a rational design of this enzyme to improve its stability against pH, temperature, or solvent concentration and to optimize product yield in bioreactors.

Abstract
Streptococcus suis is recognized as a major swine pathogen and an emerging zoonotic agent. Two large-scale outbreaks of severe S. suis epidemics occurred in China in 1998 and 2005 that posed serious concerns to public health and challenged the conventional conception that opportunistic infections of S. suis serotype 2 (SS2) in humans were only sporadic cases. An extensive, collaborative study on Chinese SS2 variants, which exhibit strong invasiveness and high pathogenicity, has resulted in the description of a new disease form of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) and a putative pathogenicity island (termed 89K). The abbreviation of STSS is used for the severe disease caused by both Staphylococci and Streptococci. The main virulence factors involved in STSS caused by either Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes consist of so-called superantigens or molecules that trigger a nonspecific, uncontrolled activation of T cells and massive cytokine release. However, although a collection of new virulence factors have been described, no superantigen candidates have been found for SS2 strains, implying that a different mechanism could be involved in the STSS form caused by SS2 variants.

Abstract
Human 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase types 1 and 2 (17betaHSD1 and 17betaHSD2) regulate estrogen potency by catalyzing the interconversion of estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2) using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) cofactors NAD(P)(H). In intact cells, 17betaHSD1 and 17betaHSD2 establish pseudo-equilibria favoring E1 reduction or E2 oxidation, respectively. The vulnerability of these equilibrium steroid distributions to mutations and to altered intracellular cofactor abundance and redox state, however, is not known. We demonstrate that the equilibrium E2/E1 ratio achieved by 17betaHSD1 in intact HEK-293 cell lines is progressively reduced from 94:6 to 10:90 after mutagenesis of R38, which interacts with the 2'-phosphate of NADP(H), and by glucose deprivation, which lowers the NADPH/NADP(+) ratio. The shift to E2 oxidation parallels changes in apparent K(m) values for purified 17betaHSD1 proteins to favor NAD(H) over NADP(H). In contrast, mutagenesis of E116 (corresponding to R38 in 17betaHSD1) and changes in intracellular cofactor ratios do not alter the greater than 90:10 E1/E2 ratio catalyzed by 17betaHSD2, and these mutations lower the apparent K(m) of recombinant 17betaHSD2 for NADP(H) only less than 3-fold. We conclude that the equilibrium E1/E2 ratio maintained by human 17betaHSD1 in intact cells is governed by NADPH saturation, which is strongly dependent on both R38 and high intracellular NADPH/NADP(+) ratios. In contrast, the preference of 17betaHSD2 for E2 oxidation strongly resists alteration by genetic and metabolic manipulations. These findings suggest that additional structural features, beyond the lack of a specific arginine residue, disfavor NADPH binding and thus support E2 oxidation by 17betaHSD2 in intact cells.

Crystal structures of Streptococcus suis mannonate dehydratase (ManD) and its complex with substrate: genetic and biochemical evidence for a catalytic mechanism. J Bacteriol 2009; 191:5832-7.

Abstract
Mannonate dehydratase (ManD) is found only in certain bacterial species, where it participates in the dissimilation of glucuronate. ManD catalyzes the dehydration of d-mannonate to yield 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (2-KDG), the carbon and energy source for growth. Selective inactivation of ManD by drug targeting is of therapeutic interest in the treatment of human Streptococcus suis infections. Here, we report the overexpression, purification, functional characterization, and crystallographic structure of ManD from S. suis. Importantly, by Fourier transform mass spectrometry, we show that 2-KDG is formed when the chemically synthesized substrate (d-mannonate) is incubated with ManD. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry revealed the presence of Mn(2+) in the purified protein, and in the solution state catalytically active ManD exists as a homodimer of two 41-kDa subunits. The crystal structures of S. suis ManD in native form and in complex with its substrate and Mn(2+) ion have been solved at a resolution of 2.9 A. The core structure of S. suis ManD is a TIM barrel similar to that of other members of the xylose isomerase-like superfamily. Structural analyses and comparative amino acid sequence alignments provide evidence for the importance of His311 and Tyr325 in ManD activity. The results of site-directed mutagenesis confirmed the functional role(s) of these residues in the dehydration reaction and a plausible mechanism for the ManD-catalyzed reaction is proposed.
