Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is widely distributed in nature and its characteristics have been examined. ALDH plays an important role in aldehyde detoxification. Sources of aldehydes include incomplete combustion and emissions from paints, linoleum and varnishes in the living environment. Acetaldehyde is also considered to be carcinogenic and toxic. Thermostable ALDH from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii exhibits high activity towards acetaldehyde and has potential applications as a biosensor for acetaldehyde. Thermostable ALDH displays a unique and wide adaptability. Therefore, its crystal structure can provide new insights into the catalytic mechanism and potential applications of ALDHs. However, a crystal structure of a thermostable ALDH exhibiting high activity towards acetaldehyde has not been reported to date. In this study, crystals of recombinant thermostable ALDH from S. tokodaii were prepared and the crystal structure of its holo form was determined. A crystal of the enzyme was prepared and its structure in complex with NADP was determined at a resolution of 2.2 Å. This structural analysis may facilitate further studies on catalytic mechanisms and applications.

Lin X, Zhang S, Yang S, Zhang R, Shi X, Song L. A landfill serves as a critical source of microplastic pollution and harbors diverse plastic biodegradation microbial species and enzymes: Study in large-scale landfills, China. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 457:131676. [PMID: 37263024 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants. Landfills store up to 42% of worldwide plastic waste and serve as an important source of MPs. However, the study of MPs distribution and the plastic biodegradation potential in landfills is limited. In this study, the distribution of abundance, size, morphology and polymer type of MPs and plastics biodegradation species in refuse samples along landfill depths were extensively investigated within a large-scale landfill in Shenzhen, China. In addition, plastics biodegradation enzymes were evaluated in seven Chinese large-scale landfills leachate. MPs distribution pattern was investigated in all refuse samples. The abundance of MPs in refuse samples varied between 81 and 133 items/g. The size of MPs in all samples varied between 0.03 and 5 mm, and the average sizes were 1.2 mm ± 0.1 mm. The main morphology and polymer type were fragments and cellophane, respectively. Landfill depth was significantly negatively correlated with the relative abundance of MPs size 1-5 mm (p < 0.05) and was positively correlated with the relative abundance of MPs size < 0.2 mm (p < 0.05), suggesting that plastics were broken down during municipal solid waste decomposition. The multiple regression on matrices analysis further showed the landfill depths and plastic morphology significantly impact the MPs distribution. The strains, Lysinibacillus massiliensis (with relative abundance of 1.8%) for low-density polyethylene and polystyrene biodegradation, and Pseudomonas stutzeri (0.1%) for low density polythene and polypropylene biodegradation, were detected on the plastic surface with high relative abundance. Furthermore, 75 plastic degradation species and their associated 31 enzymes (breakdown 24 plastics) were discovered in seven landfills leachate samples.

Antarctic aldehyde dehydrogenase from Flavobacterium PL002 as a potent catalyst for acetaldehyde determination in wine. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17301. [PMID: 36243887 PMCID: PMC9569350 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-22289-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Latest solutions in biotechnologies and biosensing targeted cold-active extremozymes. Analysis of acetaldehyde as a relevant quality indicator of wine is one example of application that could benefit from using low-temperatures operating catalysts. In search of novel aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) with high stability and activity at low temperatures, the recombinant S2-ALDH from the Antarctic Flavobacterium PL002 was obtained by cloning and expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Structural and phylogenetic analyses revealed strong protein similarities (95%) with psychrophilic homologs, conserved active residues and structural elements conferring enzyme flexibility. Arrhenius plot revealed a conformational shift at 30 °C, favoring catalysis (low activation energy) at lower temperatures. In addition to a broad substrate specificity with preference for acetaldehyde (Km = 1.88 mM), this enzyme showed a high tolerance for ethanol (15%) and several salts and chelators (an advantage for wine analysis), while being sensitive to mercury (I50 = 1.21 µM). The neutral optimal pH (7.5) and the stability up to 40 °C and after lyophilization represent major assets for developing S2-ALDH-based sensors. An enzymatic electrochemical assay was developed for acetaldehyde detection in wines with proven accuracy in comparison with the reference spectrophotometric method, thus evidencing the potential of S2-ALDH as effective biocatalyst for industry and biosensing.

Abstract
In nature, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is widely distributed and mainly involved in the oxidation of aldehydes. Thermostability is one of the key features for industrial enzymes. The ability of enzymes to withstand a high operating temperature offers many advantages, including enhancing productivity in industries. This study was conducted to understand the structural and biochemical features of ALDH from thermophilic bacterium, Anoxybacillus geothermalis strain D9. The 3D structure of A. geothermalis ALDH was predicted by YASARA software and composed of 24.3% β-sheet located at the center core region. The gene, which encodes 504 amino acids with a molecular weight of ~56 kDa, was cloned into pET51b(+) and expressed in E.coli Transetta (DE3). The purified A. geothermalis ALDH showed remarkable thermostability with optimum temperature at 60 °C and stable at 70 °C for 1 h. The melting point of the A. geothermalis ALDH is at 65.9 °C. Metal ions such as Fe3+ ions inhibited the enzyme activity, while Li+ and Mg2+ enhanced by 38.83% and 105.83%, respectively. Additionally, this enzyme showed tolerance to most non-polar organic solvents tested (xylene, n-dedocane, n-tetradecane, n-hexadecane) in a concentration of 25% v/v. These findings have generally improved the understanding of thermostable A. geothermalis ALDH so it can be widely used in the industry.

Abstract
Stable aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) from extremophilic microorganisms constitute efficient catalysts in biotechnologies. In search of active ALDHs at low temperatures and of these enzymes from cold-adapted microorganisms, we cloned and characterized a novel recombinant ALDH from the psychrotrophic Flavobacterium PL002 isolated from Antarctic seawater. The recombinant enzyme (F-ALDH) from this cold-adapted strain was obtained by cloning and expressing of the PL002 aldH gene (1506 bp) in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Phylogeny and structural analyses showed a high amino acid sequence identity (89%) with Flavobacterium frigidimaris ALDH and conservation of all active site residues. The purified F-ALDH by affinity chromatography was homotetrameric, preserving 80% activity at 4 °C for 18 days. F-ALDH used both NAD+ and NADP+ and a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic substrates, showing cofactor-dependent compensatory KM and kcat values and the highest catalytic efficiency (0.50 µM−1 s−1) for isovaleraldehyde. The enzyme was active in the 4–60 °C-temperature interval, with an optimal pH of 9.5, and a preference for NAD+-dependent reactions. Arrhenius plots of both NAD(P)+-dependent reactions indicated conformational changes occurring at 30 °C, with four(five)-fold lower activation energy at high temperatures. The high thermal stability and substrate-specific catalytic efficiency of this novel cold-active ALDH favoring aliphatic catalysis provided a promising catalyst for biotechnological and biosensing applications.

Study of ALDH from Thermus thermophilus-Expression, Purification and Characterisation of the Non-Substrate Specific, Thermophilic Enzyme Displaying Both Dehydrogenase and Esterase Activity. Cells 2021; 10:cells10123535.

Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH), found in all kingdoms of life, form a superfamily of enzymes that primarily catalyse the oxidation of aldehydes to form carboxylic acid products, while utilising the cofactor NAD(P)+. Some superfamily members can also act as esterases using p-nitrophenyl esters as substrates. The ALDHTt from Thermus thermophilus was recombinantly expressed in E. coli and purified to obtain high yields (approximately 15–20 mg/L) and purity utilising an efficient heat treatment step coupled with IMAC and gel filtration chromatography. The use of the heat treatment step proved critical, in its absence decreased yield of 40% was observed. Characterisation of the thermophilic ALDHTt led to optimum enzymatic working conditions of 50 °C, and a pH of 8. ALDHTt possesses dual enzymatic activity, with the ability to act as a dehydrogenase and an esterase. ALDHTt possesses broad substrate specificity, displaying activity for a range of aldehydes, most notably hexanal and the synthetic dialdehyde, terephthalaldehyde. Interestingly, para-substituted benzaldehydes could be processed efficiently, but ortho-substitution resulted in no catalytic activity. Similarly, ALDHTt displayed activity for two different esterase substrates, p-nitrophenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl butyrate, but with activities of 22.9% and 8.9%, respectively, compared to the activity towards hexanal.

Construction of an alternative glycerol-utilization pathway for improved β-carotene production in Escherichia coli. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2018; 45:697-705.

Abstract
Abstract
Glycerol, which is an inevitable by-product of biodiesel production, is an ideal carbon source for the production of carotenoids due to its low price, good availability and chemically reduced status, which results in a low requirement for additional reducing equivalents. In this study, an alternative carbon-utilization pathway was constructed in Escherichia coli to enable more efficient β-carotene production from glycerol. An aldehyde reductase gene (alrd) and an aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (aldH) from Ralstonia eutropha H16 were integrated into the E. coli chromosome to form a novel glycerol-utilization pathway. The β-carotene specific production value was increased by 50% after the introduction of alrd and aldH. It was found that the glycerol kinase gene (garK), alrd and aldH were the bottleneck of the alternative glycerol metabolic pathway, and modulation of garK gene with an mRS library further increased the β-carotene specific production value by 13%. Finally, co-modulation of genes in the introduced aldH–alrd operon led to 86% more of β-carotene specific production value than that of the strain without the alternative glycerol-utilization pathway and the glycerol-utilization rate was also increased. In this work, β-carotene production of E. coli was significantly improved by constructing and optimizing an alternative glycerol-utilization pathway. This strategy can potentially be used to improve the production of other isoprenoids using glycerol as a cheap and abundant substrate, and therefore has industrial relevance.

Abstract
Vanillin dehydrogenase (VDH) is a crucial enzyme involved in the degradation of lignin-derived aromatic compounds. Herein, the VDH from Corynebacterium glutamicum was characterized. The relative molecular mass (Mr) determined by SDS-PAGE was ~51 kDa, whereas the apparent native Mr values revealed by gel filtration chromatography were 49.5, 92.3, 159.0 and 199.2 kDa, indicating the presence of dimeric, trimeric and tetrameric forms. Moreover, the enzyme showed its highest level of activity toward vanillin at pH 7.0 and 30°C, and interestingly, it could utilize NAD(+) and NADP(+) as coenzymes with similar efficiency and showed no obvious difference toward NAD(+) and NADP(+). In addition to vanillin, this enzyme exhibited catalytic activity toward a broad range of substrates, including p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, o-phthaldialdehyde, cinnamaldehyde, syringaldehyde and benzaldehyde. Conserved catalytic residues or putative cofactor interactive sites were identified based on sequence alignment and comparison with previous studies, and the function of selected residues were verified by site-directed mutagenesis analysis. Finally, the vdh deletion mutant partially lost its ability to grow on vanillin, indicating the presence of alternative VDH(s) in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Taken together, this study contributes to understanding the VDH diversity from bacteria and the aromatic metabolism pathways in C. glutamicum.

Abstract
To find out the residues that influence the coenzyme preference of aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs), we reviewed, analyzed and correlated data from their known crystal structures and amino-acid sequences with their published kinetic parameters for NAD(P)(+). We found that the conformation of the Rossmann-fold loops participating in binding the adenosine ribose is very conserved among ALDHs, so that coenzyme specificity is mainly determined by the nature of the residue at position 195 (human ALDH2 numbering). Enzymes with glutamate or proline at 195 prefer NAD(+) because the side-chains of these residues electrostatically and/or sterically repel the 2'-phosphate group of NADP(+). But contrary to the conformational rigidity of proline, the conformational flexibility of glutamate may allow NADP(+)-binding in some enzymes by moving the carboxyl group away from the 2'-phosphate group, which is possible if a small neutral residue is located at position 224, and favored if the residue at position 53 interacts with Glu195 in a NADP(+)-compatible conformation. Of the residues found at position 195, only glutamate interacts with the NAD(+)-adenosine ribose; glutamine and histidine cannot since their side-chain points are opposite to the ribose, probably because the absence of the electrostatic attraction by the conserved nearby Lys192, or its electrostatic repulsion, respectively. The shorter side-chains of other residues-aspartate, serine, threonine, alanine, valine, leucine, or isoleucine-are distant from the ribose but leave room for binding the 2'-phosphate group. Generally, enzymes having a residue different from Glu bind NAD(+) with less affinity, but they can also bind NADP(+) even sometimes with higher affinity than NAD(+), as do enzymes containing Thr/Ser/Gln195. Coenzyme preference is a variable feature within many ALDH families, consistent with being mainly dependent on a single residue that apparently has no other structural or functional roles, and therefore can easily be changed through evolution and selected in response to physiological needs.

Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase ST0064, the closest paralog of previously characterized allosteric non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) dehydrogenase (GAPN, ST2477) from a thermoacidophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus tokodaii, was expressed heterologously and characterized in detail. ST0064 showed remarkable activity toward succinate semialdehyde (SSA) (Km of 0.0029 mM and kcat of 30.0 s(-1)) with no allosteric regulation. Activity toward GAP was lower (Km of 4.6 mM and kcat of 4.77 s(-1)), and previously predicted succinyl-CoA reductase activity was not detected, suggesting that the enzyme functions practically as succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that archaeal SSADHs and GAPNs are closely related within the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily, suggesting that they are of the same origin.
