Abstract
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a promising chassis of industrial biotechnology due to its metabolic versatility. Butane-2,3-diol (2,3-BDO) is a precursor of numerous value-added chemicals. It is also a microbial metabolite which widely exists in various habiting environments of P. putida KT2440. It was reported that P. putida KT2440 is able to use 2,3-BDO as a sole carbon source for growth. There are three stereoisomeric forms of 2,3-BDO: (2R,3R)-2,3-BDO, meso-2,3-BDO and (2S,3S)-2,3-BDO. However, whether P. putida KT2440 can utilize three stereoisomeric forms of 2,3-BDO has not been elucidated. Here, we revealed the genomic and enzymic basis of P. putida KT2440 for dehydrogenation of different stereoisomers of 2,3-BDO into acetoin, which will be channeled to central mechanism via acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system. (2R,3R)-2,3-BDO dehydrogenase (PP0552) was detailedly characterized and identified to participate in (2R,3R)-2,3-BDO and meso-2,3-BDO dehydrogenation. Two quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases, PedE (PP2674) and PedH (PP2679), were confirmed to be responsible for (2S,3S)-2,3-BDO dehydrogenation. The function redundancy and inverse regulation of PedH and PedE by lanthanide availability provides a mechanism for the adaption of P. putida KT2440 to variable environmental conditions. Elucidation of the mechanism of 2,3-BDO catabolism in P. putida KT2440 would provide new insights for bioproduction of 2,3-BDO-derived chemicals based on this robust chassis.

Abstract
The asymmetric amination of secondary racemic allylic alcohols bears several challenges like the reactivity of the bi-functional substrate/product as well as of the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate in an oxidation-reductive amination sequence. Heading for a biocatalytic amination cascade with a minimal number of enzymes, an oxidation step was implemented relying on a single PQQ-dependent dehydrogenase with low enantioselectivity. This enzyme allowed the oxidation of both enantiomers at the expense of iron(III) as oxidant. The stereoselective amination of the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate was achieved with transaminases using 1-phenylethylamine as formal reducing agent as well as nitrogen source. Choosing an appropriate transaminase, either the (R)- or (S)-enantiomer was obtained in optically pure form (>98 % ee). The enantio-convergent amination of the racemic allylic alcohols to one single allylic amine enantiomer was achieved in one pot in a sequential cascade.

Abstract
Quantitative routine detection of fucose, which is a cancer marker, in urine is effective for the preliminary screening of cancer. Amperometric biosensing methods have the advantage of being simple, rapid, and precise for urinalysis. However, coexisting electroactive interferences such as ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) prevent accurate measurements. In this work, an amperometric l-fucose biosensor unaffected by interferences was developed and utilizes direct electron transfer type bioelectrocatalysis of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent pyranose dehydrogenase from Coprinopsis cinerea (CcPDH). The isolated PQQ domain from CcPDH was immobilized on gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-modified electrodes, which obtained a catalytic current at a lower potential than the oxidation potential of the interfering compounds. Applying an operating potential of -0.1 V vs. Ag|AgCl (3 M NaCl) enabled the detection of l-fucose while completely eliminating the oxidation of AA, DA, and UA on the electrodes. The increase in the specific area of the electrodes by increasing the AuNP drop-casting time resulted in an improvement in the sensor performance. The biosensor exhibited a linear range for l-fucose detection between 0.1 mM and 1 mM (R2 = 0.9996), including a cut-off value, the sensitivity was 3.12 ± 0.05 μA mM-1 cm-2, and the detection limit was 13.6 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of three. The biosensor can be used to quantify the concentration of l-fucose at physiological levels and does not require urine preprocessing, making it applicable to practical use for point-of-care testing with urine.

Abstract
Ever since the discovery of the first rare earth element (REE)-dependent enzyme, the physiological role of lanthanides has become an emerging field of research due to the environmental implications and biotechnological opportunities. In Pseudomonas putida KT2440, the two pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (PQQ-ADHs) PedE and PedH are inversely regulated in response to REE availability. This transcriptional switch is orchestrated by a complex regulatory network that includes the PedR2/PedS2 two-component system and is important for efficient growth on several alcoholic volatiles. To study whether cellular responses beyond the REE switch exist, the differential proteomic responses that occur during growth on various model carbon sources were analyzed. Apart from the Ca2+-dependent enzyme PedE, the differential abundances of most identified proteins were conditional. During growth on glycerol-and concomitant with the proteomic changes-lanthanum (La3+) availability affected different growth parameters, including the onset of logarithmic growth and final optical densities. Studies with mutant strains revealed a novel metabolic route for glycerol utilization, initiated by PedE and/or PedH activity. Upon oxidation to glycerate via glyceraldehyde, phosphorylation by the glycerate kinase GarK most likely yields glycerate-2-phosphate, which is eventually channeled into the central metabolism of the cell. This new route functions in parallel with the main degradation pathway encoded by the glpFKRD operon and provides a growth advantage to the cells by allowing an earlier onset of growth with glycerol as the sole source of carbon and energy.IMPORTANCE The biological role of REEs has long been underestimated, and research has mainly focused on methanotrophic and methylotrophic bacteria. We have recently demonstrated that P. putida, a plant growth-promoting bacterium that thrives in the rhizosphere of various food crops, possesses a REE-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (PedH), but knowledge about REE-specific effects on physiological traits in nonmethylotrophic bacteria is still scarce. This study demonstrates that the cellular response of P. putida to lanthanum (La3+) is mostly substrate specific and that La3+ availability highly affects the growth of cells on glycerol. Further, a novel route for glycerol metabolism is identified, which is initiated by PedE and/or PedH activity and provides a growth advantage to this biotechnologically relevant organism by allowing a faster onset of growth. Overall, these findings demonstrate that lanthanides can affect physiological traits in nonmethylotrophic bacteria and might influence their competitiveness in various environmental niches.

Abstract
The work presented herein demonstrates a hybrid bi-catalytic architecture for the complete electrochemical oxidation of ethanol. The new catalytic system contains pyrene-TEMPO (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-N-oxyl) immobilized on the surface of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH), and oxalate decarboxylase enzyme (OxDc) immobilized onto a carbon cloth electrode. Electrolysis revealed a stable amperometric curve and an excellent current density value over a duration of 10 h. In addition, the hybrid system immobilized on the carbon electrode exhibits outstanding stability after electrolysis. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gas chromatography (GC) demonstrate that the hybrid electrode system is able to oxidize ethanol to CO2 after 10 h of electrolysis. Overall, this study illustrates the enhancement of an enzymatic biofuel cell through the hybrid multi-catalytic systems, which exhibit high oxidation rates for all substrates involved in complete ethanol oxidation, enabling the collection of up to 12 electrons per molecule of ethanol.

Abstract
Plastics, in all forms, are a ubiquitous cornerstone of modern civilization. Although humanity undoubtedly benefits from the versatility and durability of plastics, they also cause a tremendous burden for the environment. Bio-upcycling is a promising approach to reduce this burden, especially for polymers that are currently not amenable to mechanical recycling. Wildtype P. putida KT2440 is able to grow on 1,4-butanediol as sole carbon source, but only very slowly. Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) led to the isolation of several strains with significantly enhanced growth rate and yield. Genome re-sequencing and proteomic analysis were applied to characterize the genomic and metabolic basis of efficient 1,4-butanediol metabolism. Initially, 1,4-butanediol is oxidized to 4-hydroxybutyrate, in which the highly expressed dehydrogenase enzymes encoded within the PP_2674-2680 ped gene cluster play an essential role. The resulting 4-hydroxybutyrate can be metabolized through three possible pathways: (i) oxidation to succinate, (ii) CoA activation and subsequent oxidation to succinyl-CoA, and (iii) beta oxidation to glycolyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. The evolved strains were both mutated in a transcriptional regulator (PP_2046) of an operon encoding both beta-oxidation related genes and an alcohol dehydrogenase. When either the regulator or the alcohol dehydrogenase is deleted, no 1,4-butanediol uptake or growth could be detected. Using a reverse engineering approach, PP_2046 was replaced by a synthetic promotor (14g) to overexpress the downstream operon (PP_2047-2051), thereby enhancing growth on 1,4-butanediol. This work provides a deeper understanding of microbial 1,4-butanediol metabolism in P. putida, which is also expandable to other aliphatic alpha-omega diols. It enables the more efficient metabolism of these diols, thereby enabling biotechnological valorization of plastic monomers in a bio-upcycling approach.

Abstract
In the soil-dwelling organism Pseudomonas putida KT2440, the rare earth element (REE)-utilizing, and pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent ethanol dehydrogenase PedH is part of a periplasmic oxidation system that is vital for growth on various alcoholic volatiles. Production of PedH and its Ca2+-dependent counterpart PedE is inversely regulated in response to lanthanide (Ln3+) bioavailability, a mechanism termed the REE-switch. In the present study, we demonstrate that copper, zinc, and in particular, iron availability influences this regulation in a pyoverdine-independent manner by increasing the minimal Ln3+ concentration required for the REE-switch to occur by several orders of magnitude. A combined genetic and physiological approach reveals that an ABC-type transporter system encoded by the gene cluster pedA1A2BC is essential for efficient growth on 2-phenylethanol with low (nanomolar) Ln3+ concentrations. In the absence of pedA1A2BC, a ∼100-fold higher La3+-concentration is needed for PedH-dependent growth but not for the ability to repress growth based on PedE activity. From these results, we conclude that cytoplasmic uptake of lanthanides through PedA1A2BC is essential to facilitate REE-dependent growth on 2-phenylethanol under environmental conditions with poor REE bioavailability. Our data further suggest that the La3+/Fe2+/3+ ratio impacts the REE-switch through the mismetallation of putative La3+-binding proteins, such as the sensor histidine kinase PedS2, in the presence of high iron concentrations. As such, this study provides an example for the complexity of bacteria-metal interactions and highlights the importance of medium compositions when studying physiological traits in vitro in particular in regard to REE-dependent phenomena.

Abstract
Due to their ability for direct electron transfer to electrodes, the utilization of rare earth metals as cofactor, and their periplasmic localization, pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (PQQ-ADHs) represent an interesting class of biocatalysts for various biotechnological applications. For most biocatalysts protein stability is crucial, either to increase the performance of the protein under a given process condition or to maximize robustness of the protein towards mutational manipulations, which are often needed to enhance or introduce a functionality of interest. In this study, we describe a whole-cell screening assay, suitable for probing PQQ-ADH activities in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells, and use this assay to screen smart mutant libraries for increased thermal stability of the PQQ-ADH PedE (PP_2674) from Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Upon three consecutive rounds of screening, we identified three different amino acid positions, which significantly improve enzyme stability. The subsequent combination of the beneficial mutations finally results in the triple mutant R91D/E408P/N410K, which not only exhibits a 7°C increase in thermal stability but also a twofold increase in residual activity upon incubation with up to 50% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), while showing no significant difference in enzymatic efficiency (kcat /KM ).

Abstract
The oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes is crucial for detoxification and efficient catabolism of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Thus, many Gram-negative bacteria have evolved periplasmic oxidation systems based on pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (PQQ-ADHs) that are often functionally redundant. Here we report the first description and characterization of a lanthanide-dependent PQQ-ADH (PedH) in a nonmethylotrophic bacterium based on the use of purified enzymes from the soil-dwelling model organism Pseudomonas putida KT2440. PedH (PP_2679) exhibits enzyme activity on a range of substrates similar to that of its Ca2+-dependent counterpart PedE (PP_2674), including linear and aromatic primary and secondary alcohols, as well as aldehydes, but only in the presence of lanthanide ions, including La3+, Ce3+, Pr3+, Sm3+, or Nd3+ Reporter assays revealed that PedH not only has a catalytic function but is also involved in the transcriptional regulation of pedE and pedH, most likely acting as a sensory module. Notably, the underlying regulatory network is responsive to as little as 1 to 10 nM lanthanum, a concentration assumed to be of ecological relevance. The present study further demonstrates that the PQQ-dependent oxidation system is crucial for efficient growth with a variety of volatile alcohols. From these results, we conclude that functional redundancy and inverse regulation of PedE and PedH represent an adaptive strategy of P. putida KT2440 to optimize growth with volatile alcohols in response to the availability of different lanthanides.IMPORTANCE Because of their low bioavailability, lanthanides have long been considered biologically inert. In recent years, however, the identification of lanthanides as a cofactor in methylotrophic bacteria has attracted tremendous interest among various biological fields. The present study reveals that one of the two PQQ-ADHs produced by the model organism P. putida KT2440 also utilizes lanthanides as a cofactor, thus expanding the scope of lanthanide-employing bacteria beyond the methylotrophs. Similar to the system described in methylotrophic bacteria, a complex regulatory network is involved in lanthanide-responsive switching between the two PQQ-ADHs encoded by P. putida KT2440. We further show that the functional production of at least one of the enzymes is crucial for efficient growth with several volatile alcohols. Overall, our study provides a novel understanding of the redundancy of PQQ-ADHs observed in many organisms and further highlights the importance of lanthanides for bacterial metabolism, particularly in soil environments.

Abstract
The basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea contains a quinohemoprotein (CcPDH named as CcSDH in our previous paper), which is a new type of pyrroloquinoline-quinone (PQQ)-dependent pyranose dehydrogenase and is the first found among all eukaryotes. This enzyme has a three-domain structure consisting of an N-terminal heme b containing a cytochrome domain that is homologous to the cytochrome domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH; EC 1.1.99.18) from the wood-rotting basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a C-terminal family 1-type carbohydrate-binding module, and a novel central catalytic domain containing PQQ as a cofactor. Here, we describe the biochemical and electrochemical characterization of recombinant CcPDH. UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopic studies clearly reveal characteristics of a 6-coordinated low-spin heme b in both the ferric and ferrous states, as well as intramolecular electron transfer from the PQQ to heme b. Moreover, the formal potential of the heme was evaluated to be 130 mV vs. NHE by cyclic voltammetry. These results indicate that the cytochrome domain of CcPDH possesses similar biophysical properties to that in CDH. A comparison of the conformations of monosaccharides as substrates and the associated catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of CcPDH indicates that the enzyme prefers monosaccharides with equatorial C-2, C-3 hydroxyl groups and an axial C-4 hydroxyl group in the 1C4 chair conformation. Furthermore, a binding study shows a high binding affinity of CcPDH for cellulose, suggesting that CcPDH function is related to the enzymatic degradation of plant cell wall.

Abstract
Pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases (PQQ-ADH) require ammonia or primary amines as activators in in vitro assays with artificial electron acceptors. We found that PQQ-ADH from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (PpADH) was activated by various primary amines, di-methylamine, and tri-methylamine. The alcohol oxidation activity of PpADH was strongly enhanced and the affinity for substrates was also improved by pentylamine as an activator.
