Structural Insight into Catalysis by the Flavin-Dependent NADH Oxidase (Pden_5119) of Paracoccus denitrificans. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043732. [PMID: 36835143 PMCID: PMC9963409 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043732] [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: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The Pden_5119 protein oxidizes NADH with oxygen under mediation by the bound flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and may be involved in the maintenance of the cellular redox pool. In biochemical characterization, the curve of the pH-rate dependence was bell-shaped with pKa1 = 6.6 and pKa2 = 9.2 at 2 μM FMN while it contained only a descending limb pKa of 9.7 at 50 μM FMN. The enzyme was found to undergo inactivation by reagents reactive with histidine, lysine, tyrosine, and arginine. In the first three cases, FMN exerted a protective effect against the inactivation. X-ray structural analysis coupled with site-directed mutagenesis identified three amino acid residues important to the catalysis. Structural and kinetic data suggest that His-117 plays a role in the binding and positioning of the isoalloxazine ring of FMN, Lys-82 fixes the nicotinamide ring of NADH to support the proS-hydride transfer, and Arg-116 with its positive charge promotes the reaction between dioxygen and reduced flavin.

Sedláček V, Kryl M, Kučera I. The ArsH Protein Product of the Paracoccus denitrificans ars Operon Has an Activity of Organoarsenic Reductase and Is Regulated by a Redox-Responsive Repressor. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11050902. [PMID: 35624766 PMCID: PMC9137774 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11050902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Paracoccus denitrificans ArsH is encoded by two identical genes located in two distinct putative arsenic resistance (ars) operons. Escherichia coli-produced recombinant N-His6-ArsH was characterized both structurally and kinetically. The X-ray structure of ArsH revealed a flavodoxin-like domain and motifs for the binding of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The protein catalyzed FMN reduction by NADPH via ternary complex mechanism. At a fixed saturating FMN concentration, it acted as an NADPH-dependent organoarsenic reductase displaying ping-pong kinetics. A 1:1 enzymatic reaction of phenylarsonic acid with the reduced form of FMN (FMNH2) and formation of phenylarsonous acid were observed. Growth experiments with P. denitrificans and E. coli revealed increased toxicity of phenylarsonic acid to cells expressing arsH, which may be related to in vivo conversion of pentavalent As to more toxic trivalent form. ArsH expression was upregulated not only by arsenite, but also by redox-active agents paraquat, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and diamide. A crucial role is played by the homodimeric transcriptional repressor ArsR, which was shown in in vitro experiments to monomerize and release from the DNA-target site. Collectively, our results establish ArsH as responsible for enhancement of organo-As(V) toxicity and demonstrate redox control of ars operon.

Abstract
Proteomics is a large-scale study of proteins, aiming at the description and characterization of all expressed proteins in biological systems. The expressed proteins are typically highly complex and large in abundance range. To fulfill high accuracy and sensitivity of proteome analysis, the hybrid platforms of multidimensional (MD) separations and mass spectrometry have provided the most powerful solution. Multidimensional separations provide enhanced peak capacity and reduce sample complexity, which enables mass spectrometry to analyze more proteins with high sensitivity. Although two-dimensional (2D) separations have been widely used since the early period of proteomics, three-dimensional (3D) separation was barely used by low reproducibility of separation, increased analysis time in mass spectrometry. With developments of novel microscale techniques such as nano-UPLC and improvements of mass spectrometry, the 3D separation becomes a reliable and practical selection. This review summarizes existing offline and online 3D-LC platforms developed for proteomics and their applications. In detail, setups and implementation of those systems as well as their advances are outlined. The performance of those platforms is also discussed and compared with the state-of-the-art 2D-LC. In addition, we provide some perspectives on the future developments and applications of 3D-LC in proteomics.

Abstract
Transgelin is a protein reported to be a marker of several cancers. However, previous studies have shown both up- and down-regulation of transgelin in tumors when compared with non-tumor tissues and the mechanisms whereby transgelin may affect the development of cancer remain largely unknown. Transgelin is especially abundant in smooth muscle cells and is associated with actin stress fibers. These contractile structures participate in cell motility, adhesion, and the maintenance of cell morphology. Here, the role of transgelin in breast cancer is focused on. Initially, the effects of transgelin on cell migration of the breast cancer cell lines, BT 549 and PMC 42, is studied. Interestingly, transgelin silencing increased the migration of PMC 42 cells, but decreased the migration of BT 549 cells. To clarify these contradictory results, the changes in protein abundances after transgelin silencing in these two cell lines are analyzed using quantitative proteomics. The results confirmed the role of transgelin in the migration of BT 549 cells and suggest the involvement of transgelin in apoptosis and small molecule biochemistry in PMC 42 cells. The context-dependent function of transgelin reflects the different molecular backgrounds of these cell lines, which differ in karyotypes, mutation statuses, and proteome profiles.

Modifications of the Aerobic Respiratory Chain of Paracoccus Denitrificans in Response to Superoxide Oxidative Stress. Microorganisms 2019; 7:microorganisms7120640. [PMID: 31816877 PMCID: PMC6955949 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms7120640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2019] [Revised: 11/28/2019] [Accepted: 11/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Paracoccus denitrificans is a strictly respiring bacterium with a core respiratory chain similar to that of mammalian mitochondria. As such, it continuously produces and has to cope with superoxide and other reactive oxygen species. In this work, the effects of artificially imposed superoxide stress on electron transport were examined. Exposure of aerobically growing cells to paraquat resulted in decreased activities of NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) oxidase. Concomitantly, the total NAD(H) pool size in cells was approximately halved, but the NADH/NAD+ ratio increased twofold, thus partly compensating for inactivation losses of the dehydrogenase. The inactivation of respiratory dehydrogenases, but not of TMPD oxidase, also took place upon treatment of the membrane fraction with xanthine/xanthine oxidase. The decrease in dehydrogenase activities could be fully rescued by anaerobic incubation of membranes in a mixture containing 2-mercaptoethanol, sulfide and ferrous iron, which suggests iron–sulfur clusters as targets for superoxide. By using cyanide titration, a stress-sensitive contribution to the total TMPD oxidase activity was identified and attributed to the cbb3-type terminal oxidase. This response (measured by both enzymatic activity and mRNA level) was abolished in a mutant defective for the FnrP transcription factor. Therefore, our results provide evidence of oxidative stress perception by FnrP.

Abstract
Pden_5119, annotated as an NADPH-dependent FMN reductase, shows homology to proteins assisting in utilization of alkanesulfonates in other bacteria. Here, we report that inactivation of the pden_5119 gene increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, decreased growth rate and increased growth yield; growth on lower alkanesulfonates as sulfur sources was not specifically influenced. Pden_5119 transcript rose in response to oxidative stressors, respiratory chain inhibitors and terminal oxidase downregulation. Kinetic analysis of a fusion protein suggested a sequential mechanism in which FMN binds first, followed by NADH. The affinity of flavin toward the protein decreased only slightly upon reduction. The observed strong viscosity dependence of kcat demonstrated that reduced FMN formed tends to remain bound to the enzyme where it can be re-oxidized by oxygen or, less efficiently, by various artificial electron acceptors. Stopped flow data were consistent with the enzyme-FMN complex being a functional oxidase that conducts the reduction of oxygen by NADH. Hydrogen peroxide was identified as the main product. As shown by isotope effects, hydride transfer occurs from the pro-S C4 position of the nicotinamide ring and partially limits the overall turnover rate. Collectively, our results point to a role for the Pden_5119 protein in maintaining the cellular redox state.

Abstract
Ferric reductase B (FerB) is a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-containing NAD(P)H:acceptor oxidoreductase structurally close to the Gluconacetobacter hansenii chromate reductase (ChrR). The crystal structure of ChrR was previously determined with a chloride bound proximal to FMN in the vicinity of Arg101, and the authors suggested that the anionic electron acceptors, chromate and uranyl tricarbonate, bind similarly. Here, we identify the corresponding arginine residue in FerB (Arg95) as being important for the reaction of FerB with superoxide. Four mutants at position 95 were prepared and found kinetically to have impaired capacity for superoxide binding. Stopped-flow data for the flavin cofactor showed that the oxidative step is rate limiting for catalytic turnover. The findings are consistent with a role for FerB as a superoxide scavenging contributor.

Biochemical properties and crystal structure of the flavin reductase FerA from Paracoccus denitrificans. Microbiol Res 2016; 188-189:9-22. [PMID: 27296958 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2016.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2016] [Revised: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 04/20/2016] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED The Pden_2689 gene encoding FerA, an NADH:flavin oxidoreductase required for growth of Paracoccus denitrificans under iron limitation, was cloned and overexpressed as a C-terminally His6-tagged derivative. The binding of substrates and products was detected and quantified by isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorometric titration. FerA binds FMN and FAD with comparable affinity in an enthalpically driven, entropically opposed process. The reduced flavin is bound more loosely than the oxidized one, which was confirmed by a negative shift in the redox potential of FMN after addition of FerA. Initial velocity and substrate analogs inhibition studies showed that FerA follows a random-ordered sequence of substrate (NADH and FMN) binding. The primary kinetic isotope effects from stereospecifically deuterated nicotinamide nucleotides demonstrated that hydride transfer occurs from the pro-S position and contributes to rate limitation for the overall reaction. The crystal structure of FerA revealed a twisted seven-stranded antiparallel β-barrel similar to that of other short chain flavin reductases. Only minor structural changes around Arg106 took place upon FMN binding. The solution structure FerA derived from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) matched the dimer assembly predicted from the crystal structure. Site-directed mutagenesis pinpointed a role of Arg106 and His146 in binding of flavin and NADH, respectively. Pull down experiments performed with cytoplasmic extracts resulted in a negative outcome indicating that FerA might physiologically act without association with other proteins. Rapid kinetics experiments provided evidence for a stabilizing effect of another P. denitrificans protein, the NAD(P)H acceptor oxidoreducase FerB, against spontaneous oxidation of the FerA-produced dihydroflavin.
