The anti-adhesive mode of action of a purified mushroom (Lentinus edodes) extract with anticaries and antigingivitis properties in two oral bacterial phatogens. BMC COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2014; 14:75. [PMID: 24564835 PMCID: PMC3938644 DOI: 10.1186/1472-6882-14-75] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2013] [Accepted: 02/18/2014] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
Background In previous works we have shown that a low-molecular-mass (LMM) fraction from mushroom (Lentinus edodes) homogenate interferes with binding of Streptococcus mutans to hydroxyapatite and Prevotella intermedia to gingival cells. Additionally, inhibition of biofilm formation of both odonto- and periodonto-pathogenic bacteria and detachment from preformed biofilms have been described for this compound. Further purification of mushroom extract has been recently achieved and a sub-fraction (i.e. # 5) has been identified as containing the majority of the mentioned biological activities. The aim of this study was to characterise the bacterial receptors for the purified mushroom sub-fraction #5 in order to better elucidate the mode of action of this compound when interfering with bacterial adhesion to host surfaces or with bacteria-bacteria interactions in the biofilm state. Methods Candidate bacterial molecules to act as target of this compound were bacterial surface molecules involved in cell adhesion and biofilm formation, and, thus, we have considered cell wall associated proteins (CWPs), teichoic acid (TA) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of S. mutans, and outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of P. intermedia. Results Fifteen S. mutans CWPs and TA were capable of binding sub-fraction #5, while LTA did not. As far as P. intermedia is concerned, we show that five OMPs interact with sub-fraction # 5. Capacity of binding to P. intermedia LPS was also studied but in this case negative results were obtained. Conclusions Binding sub-fraction # 5 to surface molecules of S. mutans or P. intermedia may result in inactivation of their physiological functions. As a whole, these results indicate, at molecular level, the bacterial surface alterations affecting adhesion and biofim formation. For these antimicrobial properties, the compound may find use in daily oral hygiene.

Abstract
3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), an important C3 chemical for a bio-based industry, is natively produced by Lactobacillus reuteri from glycerol. Conversion of glycerol occurs via the intermediate 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA), followed by an ATP-producing pathway initiated by the CoA-acylating propionaldehyde dehydrogenase (PduP). The pduP gene of L. reuteri was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity for characterization of its activity and properties. Kinetic studies with propionaldehyde as substrate showed a maximum specific activity of 28.9 U/mg, which is 80-fold higher than that reported previously. Maximum activity of 18 U/mg was obtained at 3-HPA concentration of 7 mM, above which substrate inhibition was observed. Substrate inhibition was also seen with coenzyme A at a concentration above 0.5mM and with NADP(+) above 9 mM. A structure of PduP is proposed based on homology modeling. In silico docking of the co-factors coenzyme A and NAD(+), respectively, showed a common binding site consisting of amino acids Thr145, Ile275, Cys277 and Ser417, which through site-directed mutagenesis to alanine and kinetic studies, were confirmed as essential for the catalytic activity of PduP.

Abstract
Amongst the numerous conserved residues in the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily, the precise role of Thr-244 remains enigmatic. Crystal structures show that this residue lies at the interface between the coenzyme-binding and substrate-binding sites with the side chain methyl substituent oriented toward the B-face of the nicotinamide ring of the NAD(P)(+) coenzyme, when in position for hydride transfer. Site-directed mutagenesis in ALDH1A1 and GAPN has suggested a role for Thr-244 in stabilizing the nicotinamide ring for efficient hydride transfer. Additionally, these studies also revealed a negative effect on cofactor binding which is not fully explained by the interaction with the nicotinamide ring. However, it is suggestive that Thr-244 immediately precedes helix αG, which forms one-half of the primary binding interface for the coenzyme. Hence, in order to more fully investigate the role of this highly conserved residue, we generated valine, alanine, glycine and serine substitutions for Thr-244 in human ALDH2. All four substituted enzymes exhibited reduced catalytic efficiency toward substrate and coenzyme. We also determined the crystal structure of the T244A enzyme in the absence and presence of coenzyme. In the apo-enzyme, the alpha G helix, which is key to NAD binding, exhibits increased temperature factors accompanied by a small displacement toward the active site cysteine. This structural perturbation was reversed in the coenzyme-bound complex. Our studies confirm a role for the Thr-244 beta methyl in the accurate positioning of the nicotinamide ring for efficient catalysis. We also identify a new role for Thr-244 in the stabilization of the N-terminal end of helix αG. This suggests that Thr-244, although less critical than Glu-487, is also an important contributor toward coenzyme binding.

Abstract
Structural dynamics associated with cofactor binding have been shown to play key roles in the catalytic mechanism of hydrolytic NAD(P)-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH). By contrast, no information is available for their CoA-dependent counterparts. We present here the first crystal structure of a CoA-dependent ALDH. The structure of the methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (MSDH) from Bacillus subtilis in binary complex with NAD(+) shows that, in contrast to what is observed for hydrolytic ALDHs, the nicotinamide ring is well defined in the electron density due to direct and H(2)O-mediated hydrogen bonds with the carboxamide. The structure also reveals that a conformational isomerization of the NMNH is possible in MSDH, as shown for hydrolytic ALDHs. Finally, the adenine ring is substantially more solvent-exposed, a result that could be explained by the presence of a Val residue at position 229 in helix α(F) that reduces the depth of the binding pocket and the absence of Gly-225 at the N-terminal end of helix α(F). Substitution of glycine for Val-229 and/or insertion of a glycine residue at position 225 resulted in a significant decrease of the rate constant associated with the dissociation of NADH from the NADH/thioacylenzyme complex, thus demonstrating that the weaker stabilization of the adenine ring is a key factor in triggering the early NADH release in the MSDH-catalyzed reaction. This study provides for the first time structural insights into the mechanism whereby the cofactor binding mode is responsible at least in part for the different kinetic behaviors of the hydrolytic and CoA-dependent ALDHs.

Abstract
Oxidation of cis-3,4-dehydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde to cis-3,4-dehydroadipyl-CoA by the aldehyde dehydrogenase, ALDH(C) (EC.1.2.1.77), is an essential step in the metabolism of benzoate in Burkholderia xenovorans LB400. In a previous study, we established a structural blueprint for this novel group of ALDH enzymes. Here, we build significantly on this initial work and propose a detailed reaction mechanism for ALDH(C) based on comprehensive structural and functional investigations of active site residues. Kinetic analyses reveal essential roles for C296 as the nucleophile and E257 as the associated general base. Structural analyses of E257Q and C296A variants suggest a dynamic charge repulsion relationship between E257 and C296 that contributes to the inherent flexibility of E257 in the native enzyme, which is further regulated by E496 and E167. A proton relay network anchored by E496 and supported by E167 and K168 serves to reset E257 for the second catalytic step. We also propose that E167, which is unique to ALDH(C) and its homologs, serves a critical role in presenting the catalytic water to the newly reset E257 such that the enzyme can proceed with deacylation and product release. Collectively, the reaction mechanism proposed for ALDH(C) promotes a greater understanding of these novel ALDH enzymes, the ALDH super-family in general, and benzoate degradation in B. xenovorans LB400.

Abstract
The overall chemical mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by the hydrolytic aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) involves three main steps: (1) nucleophilic attack of the thiol group of the catalytic cysteine on the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde substrate; (2) hydride transfer from the tetrahedral thiohemiacetal intermediate to the pyridine ring of NAD(P)(+); and (3) hydrolysis of the resulting thioester intermediate (deacylation). Crystal structures of different ALDHs from several organisms-determined in the absence and presence of bound NAD(P)(+), NAD(P)H, aldehydes, or acid products-showed specific details at the atomic level about the catalytic residues involved in each of the catalytic steps. These structures also showed the conformational flexibility of the nicotinamide half of the cofactor, and of the catalytic cysteinyl and glutamyl residues, the latter being the general base that activates the hydrolytic water molecule in the deacylation step. The architecture of the ALDH active site allows for this conformational flexibility, which, undoubtedly, is crucial for catalysis in these enzymes. Focusing in the deacylation step of the ALDH-catalyzed reaction, here we review and systematize the crystallographic evidence of the structural features responsible for the conformational flexibility of the catalytic glutamyl residue, and for the positioning of the hydrolytic water molecule inside the ALDH active site. Based on the analysis of the available crystallographic data and of energy-minimized models of the thioester reaction intermediate, as well as on the results of theoretical calculations of the pK(a) of the carboxyl group of the catalytic glutamic acid in its three different conformations, we discuss the role that the conformational flexibility of this residue plays in the activation of the hydrolytic water. We also propose a critical participation in the water activation process of the peptide bond to which the catalytic glutamic acid in the intermediate conformation is hydrogen bonded.

Abstract
The betaine aldehyde dehydrogenases (BADH; EC 1.2.1.8) are so-called because they catalyze the irreversible NAD(P)(+)-dependent oxidation of betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine, which may function as (i) a very efficient osmoprotectant accumulated by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms to cope with osmotic stress, (ii) a metabolic intermediate in the catabolism of choline in some bacteria such as the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or (iii) a methyl donor for methionine synthesis. BADH enzymes can also use as substrates aminoaldehydes and other quaternary ammonium and tertiary sulfonium compounds, thereby participating in polyamine catabolism and in the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyrate, carnitine, and 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate. This review deals with what is known about the kinetics and structural properties of these enzymes, stressing those properties that have only been found in them and not in other aldehyde dehydrogenases, and discussing their mechanistic and regulatory implications.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, mechanistic and structural aspects were studied extensively for hydrolytic ALDHs. One the most striking feature of nearly all X-ray structures of binary ALDH-NAD(P)(+) complexes is the great conformational flexibility of the NMN moiety of the NAD(P)(+), in particular of the nicotinamide ring. However, the fact that the acylation step is efficient in GAPN (non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) from Streptococcus mutans and in other hydrolytic ALDHs implies an optimal positioning of the nicotinamide ring relative to the hemithioacetal intermediate within the ternary complex to allow an efficient and stereospecific hydride transfer. Another key aspect of the chemical mechanism of this ALDH family is the requirement for the reduced NMN (NMNH) to move away from the initial position of the NMN for adequate positioning and activation of the deacylating water molecule by invariant E268 for completion of the reaction. In recent years, significant efforts have been made to characterize structural and molecular factors involved in the stabilization of the NMN moiety of the cofactor during the acylation step and to provide structural evidence of conformational isomerization of the cofactor during the catalytic cycle of hydrolytic ALDHs. The results presented here will be discussed for their relevance to the two-step catalytic mechanism and from an evolutionary viewpoint.

Abstract
The mandelate pathway of Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633 comprises five enzymes and catalyzes the conversion of R- and S-mandelamide to benzoic acid which subsequently enters the beta-ketoadipate pathway. Although the first four enzymes have been extensively characterized the terminal enzyme, a NAD(P)+-dependent benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), remains largely undescribed. Here we report that BADH is a dimer in solution, and that DTT is necessary both to maintain the activity of BADH and to prevent oligimerization of the enzyme. Site-directed mutagenesis confirms that Cys249 is the catalytic cysteine and identifies Cys140 as the cysteine likely to be involved in inter-monomer disulfide formation. BADH can utilize a range of aromatic substrates and will also operate efficiently with cyclohexanal as well as medium-chain aliphatic aldehydes. The logV and logV/K pH-rate profiles for benzaldehyde with either NAD+ or NADP+ as the coenzyme are both bell-shaped. The pKa values on the ascending limb range from 6.2 to 7.1 while those on the descending limb range from 9.6 to 9.9. A spectrophotometric approach was used to show that the pKa of Cys249 was 8.4, i.e., Cys249 is not responsible for the pKas observed in the pH-rate profiles.
