Ogawa T, Hirose K, Yusuf Y, Kawamoto J, Kurihara T. Bioconversion From Docosahexaenoic Acid to Eicosapentaenoic Acid in the Marine Bacterium Shewanella livingstonensis Ac10. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:1104. [PMID: 32528457 PMCID: PMC7264947 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which belong to the same class of long chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are present in marine γ-proteobacteria. In contrast to their de novo biosynthesis that has been intensively studied, their metabolic fates remain largely unknown. Detailed information regarding bacterial ω-3 PUFA metabolism would be beneficial for understanding the physiological roles of EPA/DHA as well as the industrial production of EPA, DHA, and other PUFAs. Our previous studies revealed that the EPA-producing marine bacterium Shewanella livingstonensis Ac10 produces EPA from exogenous DHA independently of de novo EPA biosynthesis, indicating the presence of an unidentified metabolic pathway that converts DHA into EPA. In this study, we attempted to reveal the molecular basis for the bioconversion through both in vivo and in vitro analyses. Mutagenesis experiments showed that the gene disruption of fadH, which encodes an auxiliary β-oxidation enzyme 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase, impaired EPA production under DHA-supplemented conditions, and the estimated conversion rate decreased by 86% compared to that of the parent strain. We also found that the recombinant FadH had reductase activity toward the 2,4-dienoyl-CoA derivative of DHA, whereas the intermediate did not undergo β-oxidation in the absence of the FadH protein. These results indicate that a typical β-oxidation pathway is responsible for the conversion. Furthermore, we assessed whether DHA can act as a substitute for EPA by using an EPA-less and conversion-deficient mutant. The cold-sensitive phenotype of the mutant, which is caused by the lack of EPA, was suppressed by supplementation with EPA, whereas the DHA-supplementation suppressed it to a lesser extent. Therefore, DHA can partly substitute for, but is not biologically equivalent to, EPA in S. livingstonensis Ac10.

Complementary substrate specificity and distinct quaternary assembly of the Escherichia coli aerobic and anaerobic β-oxidation trifunctional enzyme complexes. Biochem J 2019; 476:1975-1994.

Abstract
AbstractThe trifunctional enzyme (TFE) catalyzes the last three steps of the fatty acid β-oxidation cycle. Two TFEs are present in Escherichia coli, EcTFE and anEcTFE. EcTFE is expressed only under aerobic conditions, whereas anEcTFE is expressed also under anaerobic conditions, with nitrate or fumarate as the ultimate electron acceptor. The anEcTFE subunits have higher sequence identity with the human mitochondrial TFE (HsTFE) than with the soluble EcTFE. Like HsTFE, here it is found that anEcTFE is a membrane-bound complex. Systematic enzyme kinetic studies show that anEcTFE has a preference for medium- and long-chain enoyl-CoAs, similar to HsTFE, whereas EcTFE prefers short chain enoyl-CoA substrates. The biophysical characterization of anEcTFE and EcTFE shows that EcTFE is heterotetrameric, whereas anEcTFE is purified as a complex of two heterotetrameric units, like HsTFE. The tetrameric assembly of anEcTFE resembles the HsTFE tetramer, although the arrangement of the two anEcTFE tetramers in the octamer is different from the HsTFE octamer. These studies demonstrate that EcTFE and anEcTFE have complementary substrate specificities, allowing for complete degradation of long-chain enoyl-CoAs under aerobic conditions. The new data agree with the notion that anEcTFE and HsTFE are evolutionary closely related, whereas EcTFE belongs to a separate subfamily.

Abstract
This review concerns the uptake and degradation of those molecules that are wholly or largely converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) in the first stage of metabolism in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. These include acetate, acetoacetate, butyrate and longer fatty acids in wild type cells plus ethanol and some longer alcohols in certain mutant strains. Entering metabolism as acetyl-CoA has two important general consequences. First, generation of energy from acetyl-CoA requires operation of both the citric acid cycle and the respiratory chain to oxidize the NADH produced. Hence, acetyl-CoA serves as an energy source only during aerobic growth or during anaerobic respiration with such alternative electron acceptors as nitrate or trimethylamine oxide. In the absence of a suitable oxidant, acetyl-CoA is converted to a mixture of acetic acid and ethanol by the pathways of anaerobic fermentation. Catabolism of acetyl-CoA via the citric acid cycle releases both carbon atoms of the acetyl moiety as carbon dioxide and growth on these substrates as sole carbon source therefore requires the operation of the glyoxylate bypass to generate cell material. The pair of related two-carbon compounds, glycolate and glyoxylate are also discussed. However, despite having two carbons, these are metabolized via malate and glycerate, not via acetyl-CoA. In addition, mutants of E. coli capable of growth on ethylene glycol metabolize it via the glycolate pathway, rather than via acetyl- CoA. Propionate metabolism is also discussed because in many respects its pathway is analogous to that of acetate. The transcriptional regulation of these pathways is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters of hydroxyacids naturally synthesized in bacteria as a carbon reserve. PHAs have properties of biodegradable thermoplastics and elastomers and their synthesis in crop plants is seen as an attractive system for the sustained production of large amounts of polymers at low cost. A variety of PHAs having different physical properties have now been synthesized in a number of transgenic plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana, rape and corn. This has been accomplished through the creation of novel metabolic pathways either in the cytoplasm, plastid or peroxisome of plant cells. Beyond its impact in biotechnology, PHA production in plants can also be used to study some fundamental aspects of plant metabolism. Synthesis of PHA can be used both as an indicator and a modulator of the carbon flux to pathways competing for common substrates, such as acetyl-coenzyme A in fatty acid biosynthesis or 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A in fatty acid degradation. Synthesis of PHAs in plant peroxisome has been used to demonstrate changes in the flux of fatty acids to the beta-oxidation cycle in transgenic plants and mutants affected in lipid biosynthesis, as well as to study the pathway of degradation of unusual fatty acids.

Abstract
Degradation of fatty acids having cis-double bonds on even-numbered carbons requires the presence of auxiliary enzymes in addition to the enzymes of the core beta-oxidation cycle. Two alternative pathways have been described to degrade these fatty acids. One pathway involves the participation of the enzymes 2, 4-dienoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) reductase and Delta(3)-Delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerase, whereas the second involves the epimerization of R-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA via a 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase or the action of two stereo-specific enoyl-CoA hydratases. Although degradation of these fatty acids in bacteria and mammalian peroxisomes was shown to involve mainly the reductase-isomerase pathway, previous analysis of the relative activity of the enoyl-CoA hydratase II (also called R-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase) and 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase in plants indicated that degradation occurred mainly through the epimerase pathway. We have examined the implication of both pathways in transgenic Arabidopsis expressing the polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in peroxisomes and producing polyhydroxyalkanoate from the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediates of the beta-oxidation cycle. Analysis of the polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesized in plants grown in media containing cis-10-heptadecenoic or cis-10-pentadecenoic acids revealed a significant contribution of both the reductase-isomerase and epimerase pathways to the degradation of these fatty acids.

Abstract
The first reaction of mitochondrial beta-oxidation, which is catalyzed by acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, was studied with unsaturated fatty acids that have a double bond either at the 4,5 or 5,6 position. The CoA thioesters of docosahexaenoic acid, arachidonic acid, 4,7,10-cis-hexadecatrienoic acid, 5-cis-tetradecenoic acid, and 4-cis-decenoic acid were effectively dehydrogenated by both rat and human long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (LCAD), whereas they were poor substrates of very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (VLCAD). VLCAD, however, was active with CoA derivatives of long-chain saturated fatty acids or unsaturated fatty acids that have double bonds further removed from the thioester function. Although bovine LCAD effectively dehydrogenated 5-cis-tetradecenoyl-CoA (14:1) and 4,7,10-cis-hexadecatrienoyl-CoA, it was nearly inactive toward the other unsaturated substrates. The catalytic efficiency of rat VLCAD with 14:1 as substrate was only 4% of the efficiency determined with tetradecanoyl-CoA, whereas LCAD acted equally well on both substrates. The conclusion of this study is that LCAD serves an important, if not essential function in the beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract
rECH1, a recently identified rat cDNA (FitzPatrick, D. R., Germain-Lee, E., and Valle, D. (1995) Genomics 27, 457-466) encodes a polypeptide belonging to the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. We modeled the structure of rECH1 based on rat mitochondrial 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 1. The model predicts that rECH1p has the hydratase fold in the core domain and two domains for interaction with other subunits. When we incubated 3,5,8,11, 14-eicosapentaenoyl-CoA with purified rECH1p, the spectral data suggested a switching of the double bonds from the Delta3-Delta5 to the Delta2-Delta4 positions. This was confirmed by demonstrating that the product was a valid substrate for 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase. These results indicate that rECH1p is Delta3,5-Delta2,4-dienoyl-CoA isomerase. Subcellular fractionation and immunoelectron microscopy using antibodies to a synthetic polypeptide derived from the C terminus of rECH1p showed that rECH1p is located in the matrix of both mitochondria and peroxisomes in rat liver. Consistent with these observations, the 36,000-Da rECH1p has a potential N-terminal mitochondrial targeting signal as well as a C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal type 1. Transport of the protein into the mitochondria with cleavage of the targeting signal results in a mature mitochondrial form with a molecular mass of 32,000 Da; transport to peroxisomes yields a protein of 36,000 Da.

Abstract
The fadH gene coding for an NADPH-dependent 2.4-dienoyl-CoA reductase from Escherichia coli has been cloned by the polymerase chain reaction. This gene is located at 67.65 min on the E. coli chromosome. The complete open reading frame contains 2019 bp coding for the processed protein of 671 amino acid residues, with a calculated molecular mass of 72.55 kDa, which lacks the N-terminal methionine. Construction and expression of the plasmid pNDH, which contained the fadH gene under the control of the T7 promoter, resulted in a 110-fold increase in the reductase activity above the level detected in E. coli cells containing the control vector. The kinetic parameters of the purified reductase were determined to be 50 microM and 2.3 microM for the Km values of NADPH and 2-trans, 4-trans-decadienoyl-CoA, respectively, and 16 s(-1) for the k(cat) value. Analysis of the kinetic data revealed that the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme proceeds via a ping-pong mechanism. The observed dissimilarity between the E. coli and mammalian 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase sequences suggests that they have evolved from distinct ancestral genes. Sequence analysis also suggests that the N-terminal part of the E. coli reductase contains the FAD-binding domain whereas the NADPH-binding domain is located in the C-terminal region of the protein.

Abstract
The spectrophotometric assay of 2,4-dienoyl coenzyme A (CoA) reductase (EC 1.1.1.34) was modified to improve the linearity and sensitivity of this method. 5-Phenyl-2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA, which has an absorbance maximum at 340 nm with an extinction coefficient of 44,300 M-1 cm-1, was synthesized and used as substrate. This compound is reduced by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase to 5-phenyl-3-pentenoyl-CoA. When a tissue homogenate serves as an enzyme source, the product is further metabolized by delta 3, delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (EC 5.3.3.8) to 5-phenyl-2-pentenoyl-CoA, which is hydrated to 5-phenyl-3-hydroxypentanoyl-CoA by enoyl-CoA hydratase (EC 4.2.1.17). The modified assay method, which measures the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm due to the reduction of 5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA and the oxidation of NADPH, is linear for a longer period of time and is twice as sensitive as the conventional assay with 2,4-decadienoyl-CoA as substrate.

Abstract
A novel D-(-)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase, forming 2-trans-enoyl-CoA and formerly designated as epimerase (EC 5.1.2.3), was extracted from fat-degrading cotyledons of cucumber seedlings. The enzyme, called D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase or D-specific 2-trans-enoyl-CoA hydratase, is shown to be required for the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids that contain double bonds extending from even-numbered C atoms. The D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase was exclusively localized within peroxisomes. A 10,000-fold purification by chromatography on a hydrophobic matrix, a cation exchanger, on hydroxyapatite and Mono S led to two proteins of apparent homogeneity, both exhibiting Mr of 65,000. The D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyases are homodimers with slightly differing isoelectric points around pH = 9.0. They catalyze the conversion of 2-trans-enoyl-CoA into D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA. The reverse reaction was observed but no reaction with 2-cis-enoyl-CoAs or L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs. 2-trans-Decenoyl-CoA was converted 10-times faster than 2-trans-butenoyl-CoA. The conversion of 4-cis-decenoyl-CoA into octenoyl-CoA was demonstrated in vitro with purified proteins with an assay mixture containing acyl-CoA oxidase, multifunctional protein, thiolase and the D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase. Comparisons of enzyme activities present in the cotyledons or isolated peroxisomes clearly show that the pathway via dienoyl-CoA reductase is much less effective than the sequence involving D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase.

Abstract
A green enzyme from Clostridium aminovalericum with valeryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity was purified to homogeneity (169 +/- 3 kDa) and crystallized. By SDS/PAGE, one type of subunit (42 kDa) was detected indicating a homotetrameric structure. The unusual ultraviolet/visible spectrum of the green enzyme (maxima at 394 nm, 438 nm and 715 nm) was converted to a normal flavoprotein spectrum either by reduction with dithionite and reoxidation under air, or by removal of the prosthetic group at pH 2 and reconstitution with FAD (not FMN). Besides FAD (4 mol/169 kDa), the enzyme contained 4 mol of a CoA ester which was similar but not identical to 5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA. The reconstituted holoenzyme as well as the native green enzyme, but not the apoenzyme, catalysed the reversible dehydration of 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA to 4-pentenoyl-CoA in the absence of an external electron acceptor. In its presence (preferentially ferricenium ion), the green or yellow enzyme catalysed the formation of (E)-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA and 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA either from 4-pentenoyl-CoA or from 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA. The reversible hydration of 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA to (E)-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA was mediated by both enzymes as well as by the apoenzyme in the absence of FAD. Hydration of 4-pentenoate in 2H2O yielded optically active 5-hydroxy[2,4-2H2]valerate by the combined action of 5-hydroxyvalerate CoA-transferase, the green dehydratase and catalytical amounts of acetyl-CoA. The data show that the reversible hydration of the isolated double bond of 4-pentenoyl-CoA to 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA. which apparently violates the Markovnikov rule, is preceded by oxidation to 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA. The latter compound, a vinyl analogue of 2-enoyl-CoA, is then easily hydrated to (E)-5-hydroxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA and finally reduced to 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA.

Abstract
Rates of total and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation were estimated from the production of 14C-labeled CO2 and acid-soluble products from differently labeled [14C]fatty acids, in the absence and presence of antimycinrotenone, in homogenates of liver, heart and m. quadriceps. Total and peroxisomal oxidation rates of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acid were 3-4 times higher than those of arachidonic and adrenic acid which had higher oxidation rates than those of lignoceric and erucic acid. The peroxisomal contribution to the oxidation of the last fatty acids was similar to or higher than that of palmitic acid. For all fatty acids tested in these tissues, the mitochondrial contribution to beta-oxidation was higher than the peroxisomal contribution. Production of 14CO2 and 14C-labeled, acid-soluble metabolites from [13-14]arachidonic acid indicated that polyunsaturated fatty acids can be chain-shortened beyond their double bonds in m. quadriceps and heart as well as in liver. Although 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase requires NADPH, addition of this coenzyme did not influence arachidonic acid oxidation. Arachidonic acid oxidation was inhibited by palmitic acid in mitochondria and peroxisomes, but arachidonic acid had only a slight effect on palmitic acid oxidation.

Abstract
Chromatography of a rat liver extract on DEAE-cellulose resulted in the near total loss of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase activity. The activity was regained either when fractions were recombined or when purified crotonase was added to the early column fractions. A new enoyl-CoA hydratase present in these early fractions catalyzes the conversion of D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA to 2-trans-enoyl-CoA which can be hydrated by crotonase or the peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme to L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA. Thus, the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase activity is due to the combined actions of two enoyl-CoA hydratases with opposite stereospecificities.

Abstract
Genetic complementation of a mutant defective in fatty acid oxidation (fadAB) with plasmids containing DNA inserts from the fadAB region of the Escherichia coli genome was studied. The mutant containing the hybrid plasmid with a 5.2-kilobase (kb) PstI-SalI fragment was found to overproduce 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) epimerase and delta 3-cis-delta 2-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase as well as three other beta-oxidation enzymes by 16- to 18-fold compared with the wild-type parental strain LE392. The purification of a fully functional multienzyme complex of fatty acid oxidation from the transformant ultimately established that the 5.2-kb DNA fragment contained an entire fadAB operon. Since immunotitration of cell extracts with antibodies against the fatty acid oxidation complex proved that all 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase and delta 3-cis-delta 2-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase activities were associated with the complex, no genetic loci other than the fadAB operon encoded these two enzymes. Moreover, the binding of antibodies caused parallel inhibition of four component enzymes, whereas 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase activity was slightly increased. These findings support the suggestion that the epimerase and isomerase as well as enoyl-CoA hydratase and L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase are located on the same polypeptide. The results of this study, together with published data (S.-Y. Yang and H. Schulz, J. Biol. Chem. 258:9780-9785, 1983), lead to the conclusion that 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase, delta 3-cis-delta 2-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase, and enoyl-CoA hydratase in addition to 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase are encoded by the fadB gene.

Abstract
Fat-degrading cotyledons from cucumber seedlings were investigated with respect to the enzymes metabolizing cis-unsaturated fatty acids. Isolated glyoxysomes degrade linoleic acid, the dominating fatty acid in the storage tissue of the seed. Glyoxysomes were shown to be the sole intracellular site of enzymes responsible for the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids. All three auxiliary enzyme activities discussed for the degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase, enoyl-CoA isomerase, and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase were localized within the matrix of glyoxysomes. They were not found in mitochondria. Separation of glyoxysomal matrix proteins on CM-cellulose revealed that epimerase activity was attributable to the multifunctional protein and also to another protein which apparently exhibited no other beta-oxidation activity. Furthermore, on the basis of the high epimerase activity present in glyoxysomes compared to a much lower 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase activity, the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids via delta 2-cis-enoyl-CoA is considered as alternative to the reductase-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Smooth muscle cells derived from the human umbilical vein produce four radioactive metabolites when they are incubated in culture with [3H]-12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. This conversion does not require the addition of an agonist for eicosanoid formation. The main product, which accounts for 60% of the radioactivity converted to these metabolites, has been identified as 8-hydroxyhexadecatrienoic acid.

Abstract
A theory has been developed for the kinetics of coupled enzyme reactions. This theory does not assume that the first reaction is irreversible. The validity of this theory is confirmed by a model system consisting of enoyl-CoA hydratase (EC 4.2.1.17) and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35) with 2,4-decadienoyl coenzyme A (CoA) as a substrate. This theory, in contrast to the conventional theory, proves to be indispensible for dealing with coupled enzyme systems where the equilibrium constant of the first reaction is small and/or the concentration of the coupling enzyme is higher than that of the intermediate. Equations derived on the basis of this theory can be used to calculate steady-state velocities of coupled enzyme reactions and to predict the time course of coupled enzyme reactions during the pre steady state.
