Properties, Physiological Functions and Involvement of Basidiomycetous Alcohol Oxidase in Wood Degradation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232213808. [PMID: 36430286 PMCID: PMC9699415 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232213808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Extensive research efforts have been devoted to describing yeast alcohol oxidase (AO) and its promoter region, which is vastly applied in studies of heterologous gene expression. However, little is known about basidiomycetous AO and its physiological role in wood degradation. This review describes several alcohol oxidases from both white and brown rot fungi, highlighting their physicochemical and kinetic properties. Moreover, the review presents a detailed analysis of available AO-encoding gene promoter regions in basidiomycetous fungi with a discussion of the manipulations of culture conditions in relation to the modification of alcohol oxidase gene expression and changes in enzyme production. The analysis of reactions catalyzed by lignin-modifying enzymes (LME) and certain lignin auxiliary enzymes (LDA) elucidated the possible involvement of alcohol oxidase in the degradation of derivatives of this polymer. Combined data on lignin degradation pathways suggest that basidiomycetous AO is important in secondary reactions during lignin decomposition by wood degrading fungi. With numerous alcoholic substrates, the enzyme is probably engaged in a variety of catalytic reactions leading to the detoxification of compounds produced in lignin degradation processes and their utilization as a carbon source by fungal mycelium.

Abstract
Background The filamentous fungi Paecilomyces variotii and Penicillium roqueforti are prevalent food spoilers and are of interest as potential future cell factories. A functional CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system would be beneficial for biotechnological advances as well as future (genetic) research in P. variotii and P. roqueforti. Results Here we describe the successful implementation of an efficient AMA1-based CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system developed for Aspergillus niger in P. variotii and P. roqueforti in order to create melanin deficient strains. Additionally, kusA− mutant strains with a disrupted non-homologous end-joining repair mechanism were created to further optimize and facilitate efficient genome editing in these species. The effect of melanin on the resistance of conidia against the food preservation stressors heat and UV-C radiation was assessed by comparing wild-type and melanin deficient mutant conidia. Conclusions Our findings show the successful use of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and its high efficiency in P. variotii and P. roqueforti in both wild-type strains as well as kusA− mutant background strains. Additionally, we observed that melanin deficient conidia of three food spoiling fungi were not altered in their heat resistance. However, melanin deficient conidia had increased sensitivity towards UV-C radiation.

Abstract
Eccrine sweat is a rich and largely unexplored biofluid that contains a range of important biomarkers, from electrolytes, metabolites, micronutrients and hormones to exogenous agents, each of which can change in concentration with diet, stress level, hydration status and physiologic or metabolic state. Traditionally, clinicians and researchers have used absorbent pads and benchtop analyzers to collect and analyze the biochemical constituents of sweat in controlled, laboratory settings. Recently reported wearable microfluidic and electrochemical sensing devices represent significant advances in this context, with capabilities for rapid, in situ evaluations, in many cases with improved repeatability and accuracy. A limitation is that assays performed in these platforms offer limited control of reaction kinetics and mixing of different reagents and samples. Here, we present a multi-layered microfluidic device platform with designs that eliminate these constraints, to enable integrated enzymatic assays with demonstrations of in situ analysis of the concentrations of ammonia and ethanol in microliter volumes of sweat. Careful characterization of the reaction kinetics and their optimization using statistical techniques yield robust analysis protocols. Human subject studies with sweat initiated by warm-water bathing highlight the operational features of these systems.

A rapid method to detect and estimate the activity of the enzyme, alcohol oxidase by the use of two chemical complexes - acetylacetone (3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine) and acetylacetanilide (3,5-di-N-phenylacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine). J Microbiol Methods 2019; 158:71-79. [PMID: 30716345 DOI: 10.1016/j.mimet.2019.01.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2018] [Revised: 01/10/2019] [Accepted: 01/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method has been devised in order to detect and estimate the synthesis of the enzyme alcohol oxidase (AOX) by fungi, by way of the use of two chemical complexes, namely, acetylacetone (3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine) and acetylacetanilide (3,5-di-N-phenylacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine). This method involves the use of the AOX enzyme that could specifically oxidize methanol, giving rise to equimolar equivalents each of formaldehyde (HCHO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the end products. Further, the formaldehyde, thus produced was allowed to interact with the neutral solutions of acetylacetone and the ammonium salt, gradually developing a yellow color, owing to the synthesis and release of 3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine (yellow product; λ = 420 nm; λex/em = 390/470 nm) and the product, so generated was quantified spectrophotometrically by measureing its absorbance at 412 nm. In another set up, the amount of formaldehyde produced as a sequel to the oxidation of methanol by the AOX enzyme was determined by allowing it to react with the acetylacetanilide reagent, after which the volume of the fluorescent product - 3,5-di-N-phenylacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine (colorless product; λex/em = 390/470 nm) that was generated was estimated by measuring its emission at 460 nm (excitation wavelength at 360 nm) in a spectrophotometer. Of the various substrates tested, a commercial source of the AOX enzyme appreciably oxidizes methanol, thereby generating formaldehyde, and further reacts with acetylacetone, to give rise to a bright yellow complex, displaying a maximum activity of 1402 U/mL. Determination of the AOX activity by the use of acetylacetone and acetylacetanilide could serve as a viable alternative to the conventional alcohol oxidase-peroxidase-2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (AOX-POD-ABTS) based method. In view of this, this method appears to be invaluable for application at the various food, pharmaceutical, fuel, biosensor, biorefinery, biopolymer, biomaterial, platform chemical, and biodiesel industries.

Abstract
Species in the genus Paecilomyces, a member of the fungal order Eurotiales, are ubiquitous in nature and impact a variety of human endeavors. Here, the biology of one common species, Paecilomyces variotii, was explored using genomics and functional genetics. Sequencing the genome of two isolates revealed key genome and gene features in this species. A striking feature of the genome was the two-part nature, featuring large stretches of DNA with normal GC content separated by AT-rich regions, a hallmark of many plant-pathogenic fungal genomes. These AT-rich regions appeared to have been mutated by repeat-induced point (RIP) mutations. We developed methods for genetic transformation of P. variotii, including forward and reverse genetics as well as crossing techniques. Using transformation and crossing, RIP activity was identified, demonstrating for the first time that RIP is an active process within the order Eurotiales. A consequence of RIP is likely reflected by a reduction in numbers of genes within gene families, such as in cell wall degradation, and reflected by growth limitations on P. variotii on diverse carbon sources. Furthermore, using these transformation tools we characterized a conserved protein containing a domain of unknown function (DUF1212) and discovered it is involved in pigmentation.

Abstract
Alcohol oxidase (AOX) functions in oxidation of primary alcohols into the corresponding aldehydes with potential on catalyzing synthesis reactions in chemical industry. In this study, AOX from a thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast, Ogataea thermomethanolica (OthAOX) was purified to high homogeneity using a single step chromatographic separation on a DEAE-Sepharose column. The purified OthAOX had a specific activity of 15.34 U/mg with 77.5% recovery yield. The enzyme worked optimally at 50 °C in an alkaline range (pH 9.0). According to kinetic analysis, OthAOX showed a higher affinity toward short-chain aliphatic primary alcohol with the Vmax, Km, and kcat of 0.24 nmol/min, 0.27 mM, and 3628.8 min-1, respectively against methanol. Addition of alginic acid (0.35%) showed a protective effect on enhancing thermal stability of the enzyme, resulting in 72% increase in its half-life at 40 °C under the operational conditions. This enzyme represents a promising candidate for conversion of bioethanol to acetaldehyde as secondary chemical in biorefinery.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen that may cause nasopharyngeal cancer and probably leukemia. The effects of environmental and nutritional factors on fungal growth and the biodegradation of formaldehyde were investigated. Fungal strains SGFA1 and SGFA3 isolated from untreated sewage sediment samples collected from heavily formaldehyde-contaminated areas were identified using morphological characteristics and molecular techniques and named as Aspergillus nomius SGFA1 and Penicillium chrysogenum SGFA3. Results indicate that SGFA1 and SGFA3 completely consumed 3,000 and 900 mg l(-1) of formaldehyde, respectively, within 7 days under optimized conditions. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses and enzyme activity analyses demonstrated that glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (GDFADH) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH) pathway may play a functional role in enhancing formaldehyde-degrading capability in SGFA1. Both fungi have potential use for remediation of formaldehyde pollution.

Abstract
S-hydroxymethylglutathione dehydrogenase from Paecilomyces variotii No. 5 strain (NBRC 109023), isolated as a formaldehyde-degrading fungus, was purified by a procedure that included ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose and hydroxyapatite chromatography and isoelectrofocusing. Approximately 122-fold purification was achieved with a yield of 10.5%. The enzyme preparation was homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 49 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, suggesting that it is a monomer. Enzyme activity was optimal at pH 8.0 and was stable in the range of pH 7.0-10. The optimum temperature for activity was 40°C and the enzyme was stable up to 40°C. The isoelectric point was pH 5.8. Substrate specificity was very high for formaldehyde. Besides formaldehyde, the only aldehyde or alcohol tested that served as a substrate was pyruvaldehyde. Enzyme activity was enhanced by several divalent cations such as Mn2+ (179%), Ba2+ (132%), and Ca2+ (112%) but was completely inhibited by Ni2+, Fe3+, Hg2+, p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) and cuprizone. Inactivation of the enzyme by sulfhydryl reagents (Hg2+ and PCMB) indicated that the sulfhydryl group of the enzyme is essential for catalytic activity.

A potentiometric formaldehyde biosensor based on immobilization of alcohol oxidase on acryloxysuccinimide-modified acrylic microspheres. SENSORS 2010; 10:9963-81. [PMID: 22163450 PMCID: PMC3231011 DOI: 10.3390/s101109963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2010] [Revised: 09/19/2010] [Accepted: 09/25/2010] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
A new alcohol oxidase (AOX) enzyme-based formaldehyde biosensor based on acrylic microspheres has been developed. Hydrophobic poly(n-butyl acrylate-N-acryloxy-succinimide) [poly(nBA-NAS)] microspheres, an enzyme immobilization matrix, was synthesized using photopolymerization in an emulsion form. AOX-poly(nBA-NAS) microspheres were deposited on a pH transducer made from a layer of photocured and self-plasticized polyacrylate membrane with an entrapped pH ionophore coated on a Ag/AgCl screen printed electrode (SPE). Oxidation of formaldehyde by the immobilized AOX resulted in the production of protons, which can be determined via the pH transducer. Effects of buffer concentrations, pH and different amount of immobilization matrix towards the biosensor’s analytical performance were investigated. The formaldehyde biosensor exhibited a dynamic linear response range to formaldehyde from 0.3–316.2 mM and a sensitivity of 59.41 ± 0.66 mV/decade (R2 = 0.9776, n = 3). The lower detection limit of the biosensor was 0.3 mM, while reproducibility and repeatability were 3.16% RSD (relative standard deviation) and 1.11% RSD, respectively (n = 3). The use of acrylic microspheres in the potentiometric formaldehyde biosensor improved the biosensor’s performance in terms of response time, linear response range and long term stability when compared with thick film immobilization methods.

Abstract
Previous results suggest that methylotrophic yeasts may contain factors that modulate prion stability. Alcohol oxidase (AOX), a key enzyme in methanol metabolism, is an abundant protein that is specific to methylotrophic yeasts. We examined the effect of Pichia pastoris AOX1 on prion phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The S. cerevisiae prion states [PSI(+)] and [URE3] arise from aggregation of the proteins Sup35p and Ure2p respectively, and correlate with the ability of Sup35p and Ure2p to form amyloid-like fibrils in vitro. We found that expression of P. pastoris AOX1 in S. cerevisiae had no effect on propagation of the [PSI(+)] prion, but inhibited propagation of [URE3]. Addition of AOX1 early in the time-course of fibril formation inhibits Ure2p fibril formation in vitro. AOX1 has not previously been identified as an ATPase. However, we discovered that in addition to its flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent AOX activity, AOX1 possesses ATPase activity. This study identifies AOX1 as a novel prion inhibitory factor and a potential ATPase.

Abstract
An alcohol oxidase was isolated from the microsome of n-hexadecane grown Aspergillus terreus and purified by ion exchange chromatography. The oxidase was found to act on short chain-, long chain-, secondary-, and aromatic-alcohol substrates with highest affinity for n-heptanol (K(M)=0.498 mM, K(cat)=2.7x10(2) s(-1)). The native protein molecular mass was 269+/-5 kDa and the subunit molecular masses were 85-, 63-, 43-, 27-, and 13-kDa. The isoelectric point of the proteins was within 8.3-8.5. High aggregating property of the protein was demonstrated by AFM, DLS and TEM analyses. Chemical analysis showed the presence of oleic acid and palmitic acid at a ratio of 2:1 in the purified protein. This lipoidic nature of the protein particles was correlated to the high aggregating property. In this flavoenzyme, flavin was non-covalently but avidly associated. Peptide mass fingerprinting studies showed the presence of two FAD binding domains in 63 kDa protein. Among these two FAD binding domain sequences only the YPVIDHEYDAVVVGAGGAGLR peptide shows 45-50% sequence homology with the reported N-terminal sequences of other known alcohol oxidases. Non-redundant database search of 63- and 43-kDa subunits peptide sequences showed no sequence similarity with the other alcohol oxidase protein reported till now.
