The oligomeric states of dye-decolorizing peroxidases from Streptomyces lividans and their implications for mechanism of substrate oxidation. Protein Sci 2024; 33:e5073. [PMID: 38864770 PMCID: PMC11168072 DOI: 10.1002/pro.5073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
A common evolutionary mechanism in biology to drive function is protein oligomerization. In prokaryotes, the symmetrical assembly of repeating protein units to form homomers is widespread, yet consideration in vitro of whether such assemblies have functional or mechanistic consequences is often overlooked. Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) are one such example, where their dimeric α + β barrel units can form various oligomeric states, but the oligomer influence, if any, on mechanism and function has received little attention. In this work, we have explored the oligomeric state of three DyPs found in Streptomyces lividans, each with very different mechanistic behaviors in their reactions with hydrogen peroxide and organic substrates. Using analytical ultracentrifugation, we reveal that except for one of the A-type DyPs where only a single sedimenting species is detected, oligomer states ranging from homodimers to dodecamers are prevalent in solution. Using cryo-EM on preparations of the B-type DyP, we determined a 3.02 Å resolution structure of a hexamer assembly that corresponds to the dominant oligomeric state in solution as determined by analytical ultracentrifugation. Furthermore, cryo-EM data detected sub-populations of higher-order oligomers, with one of these formed by an arrangement of two B-type DyP hexamers to give a dodecamer assembly. Our solution and structural insights of these oligomer states provide a new framework to consider previous mechanistic studies of these DyP members and are discussed in terms of long-range electron transfer for substrate oxidation and in the "storage" of oxidizable equivalents on the heme until a two-electron donor is available.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) are recently identified microbial enzymes that have been used in several Biotechnology applications from wastewater treatment to lignin valorization. However, their properties and mechanism of action still have many open questions. Their heme-containing active site is buried by three conserved flexible loops with a putative role in modulating substrate access and enzyme catalysis. Here, we investigated the role of a conserved glutamate residue in stabilizing interactions in loop 2 of A-type DyPs. First, we did site saturation mutagenesis of this residue, replacing it with all possible amino acids in bacterial DyPs from Bacillus subtilis (BsDyP) and from Kitasatospora aureofaciens (KaDyP1), the latter being characterized here for the first time. We screened the resulting libraries of variants for activity towards ABTS and identified variants with increased catalytic efficiency. The selected variants were purified and characterized for activity and stability. We furthermore used Molecular Dynamics simulations to rationalize the increased catalytic efficiency and found that the main reason is the electron channeling becoming easier from surface-exposed tryptophans. Based on our findings, we also propose that this glutamate could work as a pH switch in the wild-type enzyme, preventing intracellular damage.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most potent carcinogens and a widespread food and feed contaminant. As for other toxins, many efforts are devoted to find efficient and environmentally-friendly methods to degrade AFB1, such as enzymatic treatments, thus improving the safety of food and feed products. In this regard, the dye decolorizing peroxidase of type B (DypB) can efficiently degrade AFB1. The molecular mechanism, which is required to drive protein optimization in view of the usage of DypB as a mycotoxin reduction agent in large scale application, is unknown. Here, we focused on the role of four DypB residues in the degradation of AFB1 by alanine-scanning (residues 156, 215, 239 and 246), which were identified from biochemical assays to be kinetically relevant for the degradation. As a result of DypB degradation, AFB1 is converted into four products. Interestingly, the relative abundancy of these products depends on the replaced residues. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the role of these residues in the binding step between protein and manganese, a metal ion which is expected to be involved in the degradation process. We found that the size of the haem pocket as well as conformational changes in the protein structure could play a role in determining the kinetics of AFB1 removal and, consequently, guide the process towards specific degradation products.

Abstract
Lignin is an aromatic heteropolymer, found in plant cell walls as 20-30% of lignocellulose. It represents the most abundant source of renewable aromatic carbon in the biosphere, hence, if it could be depolymerised efficiently, then it would be a highly valuable source of renewable aromatic chemicals. However, lignin presents a number of difficulties for biocatalytic or chemocatalytic breakdown. Research over the last 10 years has led to the identification of new bacterial enzymes for lignin degradation, and the use of metabolic engineering to generate useful bioproducts from microbial lignin degradation. The aim of this article is to discuss the chemical mechanisms used by lignin-degrading enzymes and microbes to break down lignin, and to describe current methods for generating aromatic bioproducts from lignin using enzymes and engineered microbes.

Chem Sci 2023; 14:12518-12534. [PMID: 38020392 PMCID: PMC10646903 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc04453j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In heme enzymes, such as members of the dye-decolorising peroxidase (DyP) family, the formation of the highly oxidising catalytic Fe(iv)-oxo intermediates following reaction with hydrogen peroxide can lead to free radical migration (hole hopping) from the heme to form cationic tyrosine and/or tryptophan radicals. These species are highly oxidising (∼1 V vs. NHE) and under certain circumstances can catalyse the oxidation of organic substrates. Factors that govern which specific tyrosine or tryptophan the free radical migrates to in heme enzymes are not well understood, although in the case of tyrosyl radical formation the nearby proximity of a proton acceptor is a recognised facilitating factor. By using an A-type member of the DyP family (DtpAa) as an exemplar, we combine protein engineering, X-ray crystallography, hole-hopping calculations, EPR spectroscopy and kinetic modelling to provide compelling new insights into the control of radical migration pathways following reaction of the heme with hydrogen peroxide. We demonstrate that the presence of a tryptophan/tyrosine dyad motif displaying a T-shaped orientation of aromatic rings on the proximal side of the heme dominates the radical migration landscape in wild-type DtpAa and continues to do so following the rational engineering into DtpAa of a previously identified radical migration pathway in an A-type homolog on the distal side of the heme. Only on disrupting the proximal dyad, through removal of an oxygen atom, does the radical migration pathway then switch to the engineered distal pathway to form the desired tyrosyl radical. Implications for protein design and biocatalysis are discussed.

Abstract
Inonotus obliquus is a pathogenic fungus found in living trees and has been widely used as a traditional medicine for cancer therapy. Although lignocellulose-degrading enzymes are involved in the early stages of host infection, the parasitic life cycle of this fungus has not been fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the activities of laccase (Lac), manganese peroxidase (MnP), and lignin peroxidase (LiP) from I. obliquus cultivated in Kirk's medium. The fungus was subjected to genome sequencing, and genes related to wood degradation were identified. The draft genome sequence of this fungus comprised 21,203 predicted protein-coding genes, of which 134 were estimated to be related to wood degradation. Among these, 47 genes associated with lignin degradation were found to have the highest number of mnp genes. Furthermore, we cloned the cDNA encoding a putative MnP, referred to as IoMnP1, and characterized its molecular structure. The results show that IoMnP1 has catalytic properties analogous to MnP. Phylogenetic analysis also confirmed that IoMnP1 was closely related to the MnPs from Pyrrhoderma noxium, Fomitiporia mediterranea, and Sanghuangporus baumii, which belong to the same family of Hymenochaetaceae. From the above results, we suggest that IoMnP1 is a member of MnPs.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing Peroxidases (DyPs) are heme-containing enzymes in fungi and bacteria that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water with concomitant oxidation of various substrates, including anthraquinone dyes, lignin-related phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, and metal ions. Investigation of DyPs has shed new light on peroxidases, one of the most extensively studied families of oxidoreductases; still, details of their microbial physiological role and catalytic mechanisms remain to be fully disclosed. They display a distinctive ferredoxin-like fold encompassing anti-parallel β-sheets and α-helices, and long conserved loops surround the heme pocket with a role in catalysis and stability. A tunnel routes H2O2 to the heme pocket, whereas binding sites for the reducing substrates are in cavities near the heme or close to distal aromatic residues at the surface. Variations in reactions, the role of catalytic residues, and mechanisms were observed among different classes of DyP. They were hypothetically related to the presence or absence of distal H2O molecules in the heme pocket. The engineering of DyPs for improved properties directed their biotechnological applications, primarily centered on treating textile effluents and degradation of other hazardous pollutants, to fields such as biosensors and valorization of lignin, the most abundant renewable aromatic polymer. In this review, we track recent research contributions that furthered our understanding of the activity, stability, and structural properties of DyPs and their biotechnological applications. Overall, the study of DyP-type peroxidases has significant implications for environmental sustainability and the development of new bio-based products and materials with improved end-of-life options via biodegradation and chemical recyclability, fostering the transition to a sustainable bio-based industry in the circular economy realm.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs), a type of heme-containing oxidoreductase enzymes, catalyze the peroxide-dependent oxidation of various industrial dyes as well as lignin and lignin model compounds. In our previous work, we have recently reported the crystal structures of class A-type DyP from Bacillus subtilis at pH 7.0 (BsDyP7), exposing the location of three binding sites for small substrates and high redox-potential substrates. The biochemical studies revealed the optimum acidic pH for enzyme activity. In the present study, the crystal structure of BsDyP at acidic pH (BsDyP4) reveals two-monomer units stabilized by intermolecular salt bridges and a hydrogen bond network in a homo-dimeric unit. Based on the monomeric structural comparison of BsDyP4 and BsDyP7, minor differences were observed in the loop regions, that is, LI (Ala64-Gln71), LII (Glu96-Lys108), LIII (Pro117-Leu124), and LIV (Leu295-Asp303). Despite these differences, BsDyP4 adopts similar heme architecture as well as three substrate-binding sites to BsDyP7. In BsDyP4, a shift in Asp187, heme pocket residue discloses the plausible reason for optimal acidic pH for BsDyP activity. This study provides insight into the structural changes in BsDyP at acidic pH, where BsDyP is biologically active.

Abstract
Tetracyclines are one class of widely used antibiotics. Meanwhile, due to abuse and improper disposal, they are often detected in wastewater, which causes a series of environmental problems and poses a threat to human health and safety. As an efficient and environmentally friendly method, enzymatic catalysis has attracted much attention. In previous studies, we have designed an efficient peroxidase (F43Y/P88W/F138W Mb, termed YWW Mb) based on the protein scaffold of myoglobin (Mb), an O2 carrier, by modifying the heme active center and introducing two Trp residues. In this study, we further applied it to degrade the tetracycline antibiotics. Both UV-Vis and HPLC studies showed that the triple mutant YWW Mb was able to catalyze the degradation of tetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, and chlortetracycline effectively, with a degradation rate of ~100%, ~98%, ~94%, and ~90%, respectively, within 5 min by using H2O2 as an oxidant. These activities are much higher than those of wild-type Mb and other heme enzymes such as manganese peroxidase. As further analyzed by UPLC-ESI-MS, we identified multiple degradation products and thus proposed possible degradation mechanisms. In addition, the toxicity of the products was analyzed by using in vitro antibacterial experiments of E. coli. Therefore, this study indicates that the engineered heme enzyme has potential applications for environmental remediation by degradation of tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP), which can degrade anthraquinone dyes using H2O2, is an attractive prospect for potential biotechnological applications for environmental purification. We previously designed an artificial DyP with an optimal pH for reactive blue 19 (RB19) degradation shifting from pH 4.5 to 6.5. We then attempted to degrade RB19 using Escherichia coli expressing this mutant, but RB19 was degraded equally compared with bacteria expressing wild-type (WT) DyP because most DyP was expressed in a heme-free form. In this study, we attempted to design an artificial peroxidase based on cytochrome c (cyt c), whose heme is covalently bound to the protein. We found that cyt c can degrade RB19, but its ability at pH 7.0 was ∼60% of that of DyP from Vibrio cholerae at pH 4.5. To enhance this activity we constructed several mutants using three approaches. Initially, to improve reactivity with H2O2, Met80 was replaced with a noncoordinating residue, Ala or Val, but catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) was increased by only ∼1.5-fold. To enhance the substrate binding affinity we introduced an additional Trp by replacing Pro76 (P76W). The catalytic efficiency of this mutant was ∼3-fold greater than that of WT cyt c. Finally, to form a hydrogen bond to axial histidine Gly29 was replaced with Asp (G29D). This mutant exhibited an ∼80-fold greater dye-decolorizing activity. Escherichia coli expressing the G29D mutant was unable to degrade RB19 in solution due to degradation of heme itself, but this study provides new insights into the design of artificial DyPs.

[PMID: 35435459 PMCID: PMC9064869 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11923-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Abstract Fungal dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) have found applications in the treatment of dye-contaminated industrial wastes or to improve biomass digestibility. Their roles in fungal biology are uncertain, although it has been repeatedly suggested that they could participate in lignin degradation and/or modification. Using a comprehensive set of 162 fully sequenced fungal species, we defined seven distinct fungal DyP clades on basis of a sequence similarity network. Sequences from one of these clades clearly diverged from all others, having on average the lower isoelectric points and hydropathy indices, the highest number of N-glycosylation sites, and N-terminal sequence peptides for secretion. Putative proteins from this clade are absent from brown-rot and ectomycorrhizal species that have lost the capability of degrading lignin enzymatically. They are almost exclusively present in white-rot and other saprotrophic Basidiomycota that digest lignin enzymatically, thus lending support for a specific role of DyPs from this clade in biochemical lignin modification. Additional nearly full-length fungal DyP genes were isolated from the environment by sequence capture by hybridization; they all belonged to the clade of the presumably secreted DyPs and to another related clade. We suggest focusing our attention on the presumably intracellular DyPs from the other clades, which have not been characterized thus far and could represent enzyme proteins with novel catalytic properties. Key points • A fungal DyP phylogeny delineates seven main sequence clades. • Putative extracellular DyPs form a single clade of Basidiomycota sequences. • Extracellular DyPs are associated to white-rot fungi.

Abstract
The oxidative decarboxylation of coproheme to form heme b by coproheme decarboxylase is a stereospecific two-step reaction. In the first step, the propionate at position two (p2) is cleaved off the pyrrole ring A to form a vinyl group at this position. Subsequently, the propionate at position four (p4) on pyrrole ring B is cleaved off and heme b is formed. In this study, we attempted to engineer coproheme decarboxylase from Corynebacterium diphtheriae to alter the stereospecificity of this reaction. By introducing a tyrosine residue in proximity to the propionate at position 4, we were able to create a new radical center in the active site. However, the artificial Tyr183• radical could not be shown to catalyze any decarboxylation.

Abstract
The treatment of environmental pollutants such as synthetic dyes and lignin has received much attention, especially for biotechnological treatments using both native and artificial metalloenzymes. In this study, we designed and engineered an efficient peroxidase using the O2 carrier myoglobin (Mb) as a protein scaffold by four mutations (F43Y/T67R/P88W/F138W), which combines the key structural features of natural peroxidases such as the presence of a conserved His-Arg pair and Tyr/Trp residues close to the heme active center. Kinetic studies revealed that the quadruple mutant exhibits considerably enhanced peroxidase activity, with the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) comparable to that of the most efficient natural enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Moreover, the designed enzyme can effectively decolorize a variety of synthetic organic dyes and catalyze the bioconversion of lignin, such as Kraft lignin and a model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GGE). As analyzed by HPLC and ESI-MS, we identified several bioconversion products of GGE, as produced via bond cleavage followed by dimerization or trimerization, which illustrates the mechanism for lignin bioconversion. This study indicates that the designed enzyme could be exploited for the decolorization of textile wastewater contaminated with various dyes, as well as for the bioconversion of lignin to produce more value-added products.

Loops around the Heme Pocket Have a Critical Role in the Function and Stability of BsDyP from Bacillus subtilis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910862.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis BsDyP belongs to class I of the dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) family of enzymes and is an interesting biocatalyst due to its high redox potential, broad substrate spectrum and thermostability. This work reports the optimization of BsDyP using directed evolution for improved oxidation of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, a model lignin-derived phenolic. After three rounds of evolution, one variant was identified displaying 7-fold higher catalytic rates and higher production yields as compared to the wild-type enzyme. The analysis of X-ray structures of the wild type and the evolved variant showed that the heme pocket is delimited by three long conserved loop regions and a small α helix where, incidentally, the mutations were inserted in the course of evolution. One loop in the proximal side of the heme pocket becomes more flexible in the evolved variant and the size of the active site cavity is increased, as well as the width of its mouth, resulting in an enhanced exposure of the heme to solvent. These conformational changes have a positive functional role in facilitating electron transfer from the substrate to the enzyme. However, they concomitantly resulted in decreasing the enzyme’s overall stability by 2 kcal mol−1, indicating a trade-off between functionality and stability. Furthermore, the evolved variant exhibited slightly reduced thermal stability compared to the wild type. The obtained data indicate that understanding the role of loops close to the heme pocket in the catalysis and stability of DyPs is critical for the development of new and more powerful biocatalysts: loops can be modulated for tuning important DyP properties such as activity, specificity and stability.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:741282. [PMID: 34595162 PMCID: PMC8476742 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.741282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Fungal unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are hybrid biocatalysts with peroxygenative activity that insert oxygen into non-activated compounds, while also possessing convergent peroxidative activity for one electron oxidation reactions. In several ligninolytic peroxidases, the site of peroxidative activity is associated with an oxidizable aromatic residue at the protein surface that connects to the buried heme domain through a long-range electron transfer (LRET) pathway. However, the peroxidative activity of these enzymes may also be initiated at the heme access channel. In this study, we examined the origin of the peroxidative activity of UPOs using an evolved secretion variant (PaDa-I mutant) from Agrocybe aegerita as our point of departure. After analyzing potential radical-forming aromatic residues at the PaDa-I surface by QM/MM, independent saturation mutagenesis libraries of Trp24, Tyr47, Tyr79, Tyr151, Tyr265, Tyr281, Tyr293 and Tyr325 were constructed and screened with both peroxidative and peroxygenative substrates. These mutant libraries were mostly inactive, with only a few functional clones detected, none of these showing marked differences in the peroxygenative and peroxidative activities. By contrast, when the flexible Gly314-Gly318 loop that is found at the outer entrance to the heme channel was subjected to combinatorial saturation mutagenesis and computational analysis, mutants with improved kinetics and a shift in the pH activity profile for peroxidative substrates were found, while they retained their kinetic values for peroxygenative substrates. This striking change was accompanied by a 4.5°C enhancement in kinetic thermostability despite the variants carried up to four consecutive mutations. Taken together, our study proves that the origin of the peroxidative activity in UPOs, unlike other ligninolytic peroxidases described to date, is not dependent on a LRET route from oxidizable residues at the protein surface, but rather it seems to be exclusively located at the heme access channel.

Abstract
Background: Fungal DyP-type peroxidases have so far been described exclusively for basidiomycetes. Moreover, peroxidases from ascomycetes that oxidize Mn2+ ions are yet not known. Methods: We describe here the physicochemical, biocatalytic, and molecular characterization of a DyP-type peroxidase (DyP, EC 1.11.1.19) from an ascomycetous fungus. Results: The enzyme oxidizes classic peroxidase substrates such as 2,6-DMP but also veratryl alcohol and notably Mn2+ to Mn3+ ions, suggesting a physiological function of this DyP in lignin modification. The KM value (49 µM) indicates that Mn2+ ions bind with high affinity to the XgrDyP protein but their subsequent oxidation into reactive Mn3+ proceeds with moderate efficiency compared to MnPs and VPs. Mn2+ oxidation was most effective at an acidic pH (between 4.0 and 5.0) and a hypothetical surface exposed an Mn2+ binding site comprising three acidic amino acids (two aspartates and one glutamate) could be localized within the hypothetical XgrDyP structure. The oxidation of Mn2+ ions is seemingly supported by four aromatic amino acids that mediate an electron transfer from the surface to the heme center. Conclusions: Our findings shed new light on the possible involvement of DyP-type peroxidases in lignocellulose degradation, especially by fungi that lack prototypical ligninolytic class II peroxidases.

Abstract

Conformational sampling
profoundly impacts the overall activity
and temperature dependence of enzymes. Peroxidases have emerged as
versatile platforms for high-value biocatalysis owing to their broad
palette of potential biotransformations. Here, we explore the role
of conformational sampling in mediating activity in the de
novo peroxidase C45. We demonstrate that 2,2,2-triflouoroethanol
(TFE) affects the equilibrium of enzyme conformational states, tending
toward a more globally rigid structure. This is correlated with increases
in both stability and activity. Notably, these effects are concomitant
with the emergence of curvature in the temperature-activity profile,
trading off activity gains at ambient temperature with losses at high
temperatures. We apply macromolecular rate theory (MMRT) to understand
enzyme temperature dependence data. These data point to an increase
in protein rigidity associated with a difference in the distribution
of protein dynamics between the ground and transition states. We compare
the thermodynamics of the de novo enzyme activity
to those of a natural peroxidase, horseradish peroxidase. We find
that the native enzyme resembles the rigidified de novo enzyme in terms of the thermodynamics of enzyme catalysis and the
putative distribution of protein dynamics between the ground and transition
states. The addition of TFE apparently causes C45 to behave more like
the natural enzyme. Our data suggest robust, generic strategies for
improving biocatalytic activity by manipulating protein rigidity;
for functional de novo protein catalysts in particular,
this can provide more enzyme-like catalysts without further rational
engineering, computational redesign, or directed evolution.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) have gained interest for their ability to oxidize anthraquinone-derived dyes and lignin model compounds. Spectroscopic techniques, such as electron paramagnetic resonance and optical absorption spectroscopy, provide main tools to study how the enzymatic function is linked to the heme-pocket architecture, provided the experimental conditions are carefully chosen. Here, these techniques are used to investigate the effect of active site perturbations on the structure of ferric P-class DyP from Klebsiella pneumoniae (KpDyP) and three variants of the main distal residues (D143A, R232A and D143A/R232A). Arg-232 is found to be important for maintaining the heme distal architecture and essential to facilitate an alkaline transition. The latter is promoted in absence of Asp-143. Furthermore, the non-innocent effect of the buffer choice and addition of the cryoprotectant glycerol is shown. However, while unavoidable or indiscriminate experimental conditions are pitfalls, careful comparison of the effects of different exogenous molecules on the electronic structure and spin state of the heme iron contains information about the inherent flexibility of the heme pocket. The interplay between structural flexibility, key amino acids, pH, temperature, buffer and glycerol during in vitro spectroscopic studies is discussed with respect to the poor peroxidase activity of bacterial P-class DyPs.

Abstract
Structure determination of proteins and enzymes by X-ray crystallography remains the most widely used approach to complement functional and mechanistic studies. Capturing the structures of intact redox states in metalloenzymes is critical for assigning the chemistry carried out by the metal in the catalytic cycle. Unfortunately, X-rays interact with protein crystals to generate solvated photoelectrons that can reduce redox active metals and hence change the coordination geometry and the coupled protein structure. Approaches to mitigate such site-specific radiation damage continue to be developed, but nevertheless application of such approaches to metalloenzymes in combination with mechanistic studies are often overlooked. In this review, we summarize our recent structural and kinetic studies on a set of three heme peroxidases found in the bacterium Streptomyces lividans that each belong to the dye decolourizing peroxidase (DyP) superfamily. Kinetically, each of these DyPs has a distinct reactivity with hydrogen peroxide. Through a combination of low dose synchrotron X-ray crystallography and zero dose serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography using an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL), high-resolution structures with unambiguous redox state assignment of the ferric and ferryl (FeIV = O) heme species have been obtained. Experiments using stopped-flow kinetics, solvent-isotope exchange and site-directed mutagenesis with this set of redox state validated DyP structures have provided the first comprehensive kinetic and structural framework for how DyPs can modulate their distal heme pocket Asp/Arg dyad to use either the Asp or the Arg to facilitate proton transfer and rate enhancement of peroxide heterolysis.

Abstract
Dye decoloring peroxidases (DyPs) were named after their high efficiency to decolorize and degrade a wide range of dyes. DyPs are a type of heme peroxidase and are quite different from known heme peroxidases in terms of amino acid sequences, protein structure, catalytic residues, and physical and chemical properties. DyPs oxidize polycyclic dyes and phenolic compounds. Thus they find high application potentials in dealing with environmental problems. The structure and catalytic characteristics of DyPs of different families from the amino acid sequence, protein structure, and enzymatic properties, and analyzes the high-efficiency degradation ability of some DyPs in dye and lignin degradation, which vary greatly among DyPs classes. In addition, application prospects of DyPs in biomedicine and other fields are also discussed briefly.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) constitute a superfamily of heme-containing peroxidases that are related neither to animal nor to plant peroxidase families. These are divided into four classes (types A, B, C, and D) based on sequence features. The active site of DyPs contains two highly conserved distal ligands, an aspartate and an arginine, the roles of which are still controversial. These ligands have mainly been studied in class A-C bacterial DyPs, largely because no effective recombinant expression systems have been developed for the fungal (D-type) DyPs. In this work, we employ ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) to resurrect a D-type DyP ancestor, AncDyPD-b1. Expression of AncDyPD-b1 in Escherichia coli results in large amounts of a heme-containing soluble protein and allows for the first mutagenesis study on the two distal ligands of a fungal DyP. UV-Vis and resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopic analyses, in combination with steady-state kinetics and the crystal structure, reveal fine pH-dependent details about the heme active site structure and show that both the aspartate (D222) and the arginine (R390) are crucial for hydrogen peroxide reduction. Moreover, the data indicate that these two residues play important but mechanistically different roles on the intraprotein long-range electron transfer process. DATABASE: Structural data are available in the PDB database under the accession number 7ANV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) represent a novel family of heme peroxidases that use H2O2 as the final electron acceptor to catalyze the oxidation of various organic compounds. A DyP from Irpex lacteus F17 (Il-DyP4, corresponding to GenBank MG209114), obtained by heterologous expression, exhibits a high catalytic efficiency for phenolic compounds and a strong decolorizing ability toward various synthetic dyes. However, the enzyme structure and the catalytic residues involved in substrate oxidation remain poorly understood. RESULTS Here, we obtained a high-resolution structure (2.0 Å, PDB: 7D8M) of Il‑DyP4 with α-helices, anti-parallel β-sheets and one ferric heme cofactor sandwiched between two domains. The crystal structure of Il‑DyP4 revealed two heme access channels leading from the enzyme molecular surface to its heme region, and also showed four conserved amino acid residues forming the pocket for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into the water molecule. In addition, we found that Trp264 and Trp380, were two important residues with different roles in Il‑DyP4, by using site-directed mutagenesis and an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study. Trp264 is a noncatalytic residue that mainly is used for maintaining the normal spatial conformation of the heme region and the high-spin state of heme Fe3+ of Il‑DyP4, while Trp380 serves as the surface-exposed radical-forming residue that is closely related to the oxidation of substrates including not only bulky dyes, but also simple phenols. CONCLUSIONS This study is important for better understanding the catalytic properties of fungal DyPs and their structure-function relationships.

Abstract
In this review, we chart the major milestones in the research progress on the DyP-type peroxidase family over the past decade. Though mainly distributed among bacteria and fungi, this family actually exhibits more widespread diversity. Advanced tertiary structural analyses have revealed common and different features among members of this family. Notably, the catalytic cycle for the peroxidase activity of DyP-type peroxidases appears to be different from that of other ubiquitous heme peroxidases. DyP-type peroxidases have also been reported to possess activities in addition to peroxidase function, including hydrolase or oxidase activity. They also show various cellular distributions, functioning not only inside cells but also outside of cells. Some are also cargo proteins of encapsulin. Unique, noteworthy functions include a key role in life-cycle switching in Streptomyces and the operation of an iron transport system in Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. We also present several probable physiological roles of DyP-type peroxidases that reflect the widespread distribution and function of these enzymes. Lignin degradation is the most common function attributed to DyP-type peroxidases, but their activity is not high compared with that of standard lignin-degrading enzymes. From an environmental standpoint, degradation of natural antifungal anthraquinone compounds is a specific focus of DyP-type peroxidase research. Considered in its totality, the DyP-type peroxidase family offers a rich source of diverse and attractive materials for research scientists.

Characterization of a Dye-Decolorizing Peroxidase from Irpex lacteus Expressed in Escherichia coli: An Enzyme with Wide Substrate Specificity Able to Transform Lignosulfonates. J Fungi (Basel) 2021; 7:jof7050325.

Abstract
A dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) from Irpex lacteus was cloned and heterologously expressed as inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli. The protein was purified in one chromatographic step after its in vitro activation. It was active on ABTS, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP), and anthraquinoid and azo dyes as reported for other fungal DyPs, but it was also able to oxidize Mn2+ (as manganese peroxidases and versatile peroxidases) and veratryl alcohol (VA) (as lignin peroxidases and versatile peroxidases). This corroborated that I. lacteus DyPs are the only enzymes able to oxidize high redox potential dyes, VA and Mn+2. Phylogenetic analysis grouped this enzyme with other type D-DyPs from basidiomycetes. In addition to its interest for dye decolorization, the results of the transformation of softwood and hardwood lignosulfonates suggest a putative biological role of this enzyme in the degradation of phenolic lignin.

Abstract
The functional diversity of the New Caledonian mangrove sediments was examined, observing the distribution of fungal dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs), together with the complete biochemical characterization of the main DyP. Using a functional metabarcoding approach, the diversity of expressed genes encoding fungal DyPs was investigated in surface and deeper sediments, collected beneath either Avicennia marina or Rhizophora stylosa trees, during either the wet or the dry seasons. The highest DyP diversity was observed in surface sediments beneath the R. stylosa area during the wet season, and one particular operational functional unit (OFU1) was detected as the most abundant DyP isoform. This OFU was found in all sediment samples, representing 51–100% of the total DyP-encoding sequences in 70% of the samples. The complete cDNA sequence corresponding to this abundant DyP (OFU 1) was retrieved by gene capture, cloned, and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant enzyme, called DyP1, was purified and characterized, leading to the description of its physical–chemical properties, its ability to oxidize diverse phenolic substrates, and its potential to decolorize textile dyes; DyP1 was more active at low pH, though moderately stable over a wide pH range. The enzyme was very stable at temperatures up to 50 °C, retaining 60% activity after 180 min incubation. Its ability to decolorize industrial dyes was also tested on Reactive Blue 19, Acid Black, Disperse Blue 79, and Reactive Black 5. The effect of hydrogen peroxide and sea salt on DyP1 activity was studied and compared to what is reported for previously characterized enzymes from terrestrial and marine-derived fungi.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) toward bulky substrates, including anthraquinone dyes, phenolic lignin model compounds, or 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), is in strong contrast to their sterically restrictive active site. In two of the three known subfamilies (A- and C/D-type DyPs), catalytic protein radicals at surface-exposed sites, which are connected to the heme cofactor by electron transfer path(s), have been identified. So far in B-type DyPs, there has been no evidence for protein radical formation after activation by hydrogen peroxide. Interestingly, B-type Klebsiella pneumoniae dye-decolorizing peroxidase (KpDyP) displays a persistent organic radical in the resting state composed of two species that can be distinguished by W-band electron spin echo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Here, on the basis of a comprehensive mutational and EPR study of computationally predicted tyrosine and tryptophan variants of KpDyP, we demonstrate the formation of tyrosyl radicals (Y247 and Y92) and a radical-stabilizing Y-W dyad between Y247 and W18 in KpDyP, which are unique to enterobacterial B-type DyPs. Y247 is connected to Y92 by a hydrogen bonding network, is solvent accessible in simulations, and is involved in ABTS oxidation. This suggests the existence of long-range electron path(s) in B-type DyPs. The mechanistic and physiological relevance of the reaction mechanism of B-type DyPs is discussed.

J Inorg Biochem 2021; 219:111422.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) is a heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of anthraquinone dyes. A main feature of DyP is the acidic optimal pH for dye-decolorizing activity. In this study, we constructed several mutant DyP enzymes from Vibrio cholerae (VcDyP), with a view to identifying the decisive factor of the low pH preference of DyP. Initially, distal Asp144, a conserved residue, was replaced with His, which led to significant loss of dye-decolorizing activity. Introduction of His into a position slightly distant from heme resulted in restoration of activity but no shift in optimal pH, indicating that distal residues do not contribute to the pH dependence of catalytic activity. His178, an essential residue for dye decolorization, is located near heme and forms hydrogen bonds with Asp138 and Thr278. While Trp and Tyr mutants of His178 were inactive, the Phe mutant displayed ~35% activity of wild-type VcDyP, indicating that this position is a potential radical transfer route from heme to the active site on the protein surface. The Thr278Val mutant displayed similar enzymatic properties as WT VcDyP, whereas the Asp138Val mutant displayed significantly increased activity at pH 6.5. On the basis of these findings, we propose that neither distal amino acid residues, including Asp144, nor hydrogen bonds between His178 and Thr278 are responsible while the hydrogen bond between His178 and Asp138 plays a key role in the pH dependence of activity.

Abstract
We aim to clarify the ligninolytic capabilities of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) from bacteria and fungi, compared to fungal lignin peroxidase (LiP) and versatile peroxidase (VP). With this purpose, DyPs from Amycolatopsis sp., Thermomonospora curvata, and Auricularia auricula-judae, VP from Pleurotus eryngii, and LiP from Phanerochaete chrysosporium were produced, and their kinetic constants and reduction potentials determined. Sharp differences were found in the oxidation of nonphenolic simple (veratryl alcohol, VA) and dimeric (veratrylglycerol-β- guaiacyl ether, VGE) lignin model compounds, with LiP showing the highest catalytic efficiencies (around 15 and 200 s−1·mM−1 for VGE and VA, respectively), while the efficiency of the A. auricula-judae DyP was 1–3 orders of magnitude lower, and no activity was detected with the bacterial DyPs. VP and LiP also showed the highest reduction potential (1.28–1.33 V) in the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle (i.e., compound-II reduction to resting enzyme), estimated by stopped-flow measurements at the equilibrium, while the T. curvata DyP showed the lowest value (1.23 V). We conclude that, when using realistic enzyme doses, only fungal LiP and VP, and in much lower extent fungal DyP, oxidize nonphenolic aromatics and, therefore, have the capability to act on the main moiety of the native lignin macromolecule.

Monokaryotic Pleurotus sapidus Strains with Intraspecific Variability of an Alkene Cleaving DyP-Type Peroxidase Activity as a Result of Gene Mutation and Differential Gene Expression. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22031363. [PMID: 33573012 PMCID: PMC7866418 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22031363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The basidiomycete Pleurotus sapidus produced a dye-decolorizing peroxidase (PsaPOX) with alkene cleavage activity, implying potential as a biocatalyst for the fragrance and flavor industry. To increase the activity, a daughter-generation of 101 basidiospore-derived monokaryons (MK) was used. After a pre-selection according to the growth rate, the activity analysis revealed a stable intraspecific variability of the strains regarding peroxidase and alkene cleavage activity of PsaPOX. Ten monokaryons reached activities up to 2.6-fold higher than the dikaryon, with MK16 showing the highest activity. Analysis of the PsaPOX gene identified three different enzyme variants. These were co-responsible for the observed differences in activities between strains as verified by heterologous expression in Komagataella phaffii. The mutation S371H in enzyme variant PsaPOX_high caused an activity increase alongside a higher protein stability, while the eleven mutations in variant PsaPOX_low resulted in an activity decrease, which was partially based on a shift of the pH optimum from 3.5 to 3.0. Transcriptional analysis revealed the increased expression of PsaPOX in MK16 as reason for the higher PsaPOX activity in comparison to other strains producing the same PsaPOX variant. Thus, different expression profiles, as well as enzyme variants, were identified as crucial factors for the intraspecific variability of the PsaPOX activity in the monokaryons.

Abstract
There is a high functional diversity within the structural superfamily of porphyrin-binding dimeric α + β barrel proteins. In this review we aim to analyze structural constraints of chlorite dismutases, dye-decolorizing peroxidases and coproheme decarboxylases in detail. We identify regions of structural variations within the highly conserved fold, which are most likely crucial for functional specificities. The loop linking the two ferredoxin-like domains within one subunit can be of different sequence lengths and can adopt various structural conformations, consequently defining the shape of the substrate channels and the respective active site architectures. The redox cofactor, heme b or coproheme, is oriented differently in either of the analyzed enzymes. By thoroughly dissecting available structures and discussing all available results in the context of the respective functional mechanisms of each of these redox-active enzymes, we highlight unsolved mechanistic questions in order to spark future research in this field.

Abstract
Alkene cleavage is a possibility to generate aldehydes with olfactory properties for the fragrance and flavor industry. A dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) of the basidiomycete Pleurotus sapidus (PsaPOX) cleaved the aryl alkene trans-anethole. The PsaPOX was semi-purified from the mycelium via FPLC, and the corresponding gene was identified. The amino acid sequence as well as the predicted tertiary structure showed typical characteristics of DyPs as well as a non-canonical Mn2+-oxidation site on its surface. The gene was expressed in Komagataella pfaffii GS115 yielding activities up to 142 U/L using 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) as substrate. PsaPOX exhibited optima at pH 3.5 and 40 °C and showed highest peroxidase activity in the presence of 100 µM H2O2 and 25 mM Mn2+. PsaPOX lacked the typical activity of DyPs towards anthraquinone dyes, but oxidized Mn2+ to Mn3+. In addition, bleaching of β-carotene and annatto was observed. Biotransformation experiments verified the alkene cleavage activity towards the aryl alkenes (E)-methyl isoeugenol, α-methylstyrene, and trans-anethole, which was increased almost twofold in the presence of Mn2+. The resultant aldehydes are olfactants used in the fragrance and flavor industry. PsaPOX is the first described DyP with alkene cleavage activity towards aryl alkenes and showed potential as biocatalyst for flavor production.

Abstract
Dye decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) are novel haem-containing peroxidases, which are structurally unrelated to classical peroxidases. They lack the highly conserved distal histidine that acts as an acid-base catalyst in the catalytic reaction of classical peroxidases, which implies distinct mechanistic properties. Despite the remarkable catalytic properties and recognized potential for biotechnology applications, the knowledge of DyP's structural features in solution, which govern the reactivity and catalysis, is lagging behind. Resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy can reveal fine details of the active site structure in hemoproteins, reporting on the oxidation and spin state and coordination of the haem cofactor. We provide an overview of the haem binding pocket architecture of the enzymes from A, B and C DyP subfamilies, in the light of those established for classical peroxidases and search for subfamily specific features among DyPs. RR demonstrates that multiple spin populations typically co-exist in DyPs, like in the case of classical peroxidases. The haem spin/coordination state is strongly pH dependent and correlates well with the respective catalytic properties of DyPs. Unlike in the case of classical peroxidases, a surprisingly high abundance of catalytically incompetent low spin population is observed in several DyPs, and tentatively related to the alternative physiological function of these enzymes. The molecular details of active sites of DyPs, elucidated by RR spectroscopy, can furthermore guide approaches for biotechnological exploitation of these promising biocatalysts.

Abstract
Immobilized dye-decolorizing peroxidase from Pseudomonas putida MET94 (PpDyP) and three variants generated by directed evolution (DE) are studied aiming at the design of a biosensor for H2O2 detection. Structural properties of the enzymes in solution and immobilized state are addressed by resonance Raman (RR) and surface enhanced RR (SERR) spectroscopy, and the electrocatalytic properties are analyzed by electrochemistry. The wild-type (wt) and 29E4 variant (with E188K and H125Y mutations) represent excellent candidates for development of H2O2 biosensors, since they exhibit a good dynamic response range (1-200 μM H2O2), short response times (2 s) and a superior sensitivity (1.3-1.4 A⋅M-1⋅cm-2) for H2O2, as well as selectivity and long term stability. In contrast to the solution state, 6E10 (with E188K, A142V and H125Y mutations) and 25F6 (with E188K, A142V, H125Y and G129D mutations) variants display much lower activity and are inhibited by high concentrations of H2O2 upon adsorption on an electrode. In terms of sensitivity, the bioelectrodes employing wt PpDyP and 29E4 variant outperform HRP based counterparts reported in the literature by 1-4 orders of magnitude. We propose the development of wt or 29E4 PpDyP based biosensor as a valuable alternative to devices that rely on peroxidases.

Abstract
Versatile peroxidase (VP) from Bjerkandera adusta is an enzyme able to oxidize bulky and high-redox substrates trough a Long-Range Electron Transfer (LRET) pathway. In this study, the introduction of radical-forming aromatic amino acids by chemical modification of the protein surface was performed, and the catalytic implications of these additional surface active-sites on the oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenol, Mn2+ and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) were determined. These three different substrates are oxidized in different active-sites of enzyme molecule, of which the high redox RBBR the only one that is transformed by an external radical formed on the protein surface. Both catalytic constants kcat and KM were significantly affected by the chemical modifications. Tryptophan- and tyrosine-modified VP showed higher catalytic transformation than the unmodified enzyme for RBBR, while the Mn2+ oxidation was significantly reduced by all chemical modifications. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance studies demonstrated the formation of additional protein-based radicals after the chemical modification with radical-forming amino acids. In addition, the catalytic rate of the LRET-mediated transformation showed a good correlation with the ionization energy of the additional amino acid on the protein surface.

Abstract
Lignin peroxidase (LiP) and its natural substrate veratryl alcohol (VA) play a crucial role in lignin degradation by white-rot fungi. Understanding the molecular determinants for the interaction of this enzyme with its substrates is essential in the rational design of engineered peroxidases for biotechnological application. Here, we combine computational and experimental approaches to analyze the interaction of Phanerochaete chrysosporium LiP (isoenzyme H8) with VA and its radical cation (VA•+, resulting from substrate oxidation by the enzyme). Interaction energy calculations at semiempirical quantum mechanical level (SQM) between LiP and VA/VA•+ enabled to identify those residues at the acidic environment of catalytic Trp171 involved in the main interactions. Then, a battery of variants, with single and multiple mutations at these residues (Glu168, Asp165, Glu250, Asp264, and Phe267), was generated by directed mutagenesis, and their kinetics parameters were estimated on VA and two additional substrates. The experimental results show that Glu168 and Glu250 are crucial for the binding of VA, with Glu250 also contributing to the turnover of the enzyme. The experimental results were further rationalized through new calculations of interaction energies between VA/VA•+ and LiP with each of the single mutations. Finally, the delocalization of spin density was determined with quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations (QM/MM), further supporting the contribution of Glu250 to VA oxidation at Trp171.

Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) from Auricularia auricula-judae and versatile peroxidase (VP) from Pleurotus eryngii oxidize the three mononitrophenol isomers. Both enzymes have been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and in vitro activated. Despite their very different three-dimensional structures, the nitrophenol oxidation site is located at a solvent-exposed aromatic residue in both DyP (Trp377) and VP (Trp164), as revealed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and kinetic analyses of nitrophenol oxidation by the native enzymes and their tryptophan-less variants (the latter showing 10-60 fold lower catalytic efficiencies).

Abstract
Dye decolouring peroxidases (DyPs) are the most recent class of heme peroxidase to be discovered. On reacting with H2 O2 , DyPs form a high-valent iron(IV)-oxo species and a porphyrin radical (Compound I) followed by stepwise oxidation of an organic substrate. In the absence of substrate, the ferryl species decays to form transient protein-bound radicals on redox active amino acids. Identification of radical sites in DyPs has implications for their oxidative mechanism with substrate. Using a DyP from Streptomyces lividans, referred to as DtpA, which displays low reactivity towards synthetic dyes, activation with H2 O2 was explored. A Compound I EPR spectrum was detected, which in the absence of substrate decays to a protein-bound radical EPR signal. Using a newly developed version of the Tyrosyl Radical Spectra Simulation Algorithm, the radical EPR signal was shown to arise from a pristine tyrosyl radical and not a mixed Trp/Tyr radical that has been widely reported in DyP members exhibiting high activity with synthetic dyes. The radical site was identified as Tyr374, with kinetic studies inferring that although Tyr374 is not on the electron-transfer pathway from the dye RB19, its replacement with a Phe does severely compromise activity with other organic substrates. These findings hint at the possibility that alternative electron-transfer pathways for substrate oxidation are operative within the DyP family. In this context, a role for a highly conserved aromatic dyad motif is discussed.

Abstract
Directed evolution was applied to dye-decolourizing peroxidase Dyp1B from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5, in order to enhance the activity for oxidation of phenolic and lignin substrates. Saturation mutagenesis was used to generate focused libraries at 7 active site residues in the vicinity of the heme cofactor, and the libraries were screened for activity towards 2,6-dichlorophenol. Mutants N193 L and H169 L were found to show 7-8 fold enhanced kcat/KM towards DCP, and replacements at Val205 and Ala209 also showed enhanced activity towards alkali Kraft lignin. Residues near the predicted Mn(II) binding site were also investigated by site-directed mutagenesis, and mutants S223 N and H127R showed 4-7-fold increased kcat/KM for Mn(II) oxidation. Mutant F128R also showed enhanced thermostability, compared to wild-type Dyp1B. Testing of mutants for low molecular weight product release from Protobind alkali lignin revealed that mutant H169 L showed enhanced product release, compared with WT enzyme, and the formation of three low molecular weight metabolites by this mutant was detected by reverse phase HPLC analysis.

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2018; 11:302.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The white rot fungus Irpex lacteus exhibits a great potential in biopretreatment of lignocellulose as well as in biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds by extracellular ligninolytic enzymes. Among these enzymes, the possible involvement of dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) in lignin degradation is not clear yet. RESULTS Based on the extracellular enzyme activities and secretome analysis, I. lacteus CD2 produced DyPs as the main ligninolytic enzymes when grown in Kirk's medium supplemented with lignin. Further transcriptome analysis revealed that induced transcription of genes encoding DyPs was accompanied by the increased expression of transcripts for H2O2-generating enzymes such as alcohol oxidase, pyranose 2-oxidase, and glyoxal oxidases. Meanwhile, accumulation of transcripts for glycoside hydrolase and protease was observed, in agreement with abundant proteins. Moreover, the biochemical analysis of IlDyP2 and IlDyP1 confirmed that DyPs were able to catalyze the oxidation of typical peroxidases substrates ABTS, phenolic lignin compounds DMP, and guaiacol as well as non-phenolic lignin compound, veratryl alcohol. More importantly, IlDyP1 enhanced catalytic activity for veratryl alcohol oxidation in the presence of mediator 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, which was similar to the laccase/1-hydroxybenzotriazole system. CONCLUSIONS The results proved for the first time that DyPs depolymerized lignin individually, combining catalytic features of different peroxidases on the functional level. Therefore, DyPs may be considered an important part of ligninolytic system in wood-decaying fungi.

Roles of distal aspartate and arginine of B-class dye-decolorizing peroxidase in heterolytic hydrogen peroxide cleavage. J Biol Chem 2018; 293:14823-14838.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) represent the most recently classified hydrogen peroxide-dependent heme peroxidase family. Although widely distributed with more than 5000 annotated genes and hailed for their biotechnological potential, detailed biochemical characterization of their reaction mechanism remains limited. Here, we present the high-resolution crystal structures of WT B-class DyP from the pathogenic bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae (KpDyP) (1.6 Å) and the variants D143A (1.3 Å), R232A (1.9 Å), and D143A/R232A (1.1 Å). We demonstrate the impact of elimination of the DyP-typical, distal residues Asp-143 and Arg-232 on (i) the spectral and redox properties, (ii) the kinetics of heterolytic cleavage of hydrogen peroxide, (iii) the formation of the low-spin cyanide complex, and (iv) the stability and reactivity of an oxoiron(IV)porphyrin π-cation radical (Compound I). Structural and functional studies reveal that the distal aspartate is responsible for deprotonation of H2O2 and for the poor oxidation capacity of Compound I. Elimination of the distal arginine promotes a collapse of the distal heme cavity, including blocking of one access channel and a conformational change of the catalytic aspartate. We also provide evidence of formation of an oxoiron(IV)-type Compound II in KpDyP with absorbance maxima at 418, 527, and 553 nm. In summary, a reaction mechanism of the peroxidase cycle of B-class DyPs is proposed. Our observations challenge the idea that peroxidase activity toward conventional aromatic substrates is related to the physiological roles of B-class DyPs.

Enzyme Activities of Two Recombinant Heme-Containing Peroxidases, TvDyP1 and TvVP2, Identified from the Secretome of Trametes versicolor. Appl Environ Microbiol 2018; 84:AEM.02826-17. [PMID: 29453263 DOI: 10.1128/aem.02826-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2017] [Accepted: 02/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Trametesversicolor is a wood-inhabiting agaricomycete known for its ability to cause strong white-rot decay on hardwood and for its high tolerance of phenolic compounds. The goal of the present work was to gain insights into the molecular biology and biochemistry of the heme-including class II and dye-decolorizing peroxidases secreted by this fungus. Proteomic analysis of the secretome of T. versicolor BRFM 1218 grown on oak wood revealed a set of 200 secreted proteins, among which were the dye-decolorizing peroxidase TvDyP1 and the versatile peroxidase TvVP2. Both peroxidases were heterologously produced in Escherichia coli, biochemically characterized, and tested for the ability to oxidize complex substrates. Both peroxidases were found to be active against several substrates under acidic conditions, and TvDyP1 was very stable over a relatively large pH range of 2.0 to 6.0, while TvVP2 was more stable at pH 5.0 to 6.0 only. The thermostability of both enzymes was also tested, and TvDyP1 was globally found to be more stable than TvVP2. After 180 min of incubation at temperatures ranging from 30 to 50°C, the activity of TvVP2 drastically decreased, with 10 to 30% of the initial activity retained. Under the same conditions, TvDyP1 retained 20 to 80% of its enzyme activity. The two proteins were catalytically characterized, and TvVP2 was shown to accept a wider range of reducing substrates than TvDyP1. Furthermore, both enzymes were found to be active against two flavonoids, quercetin and catechin, found in oak wood, with TvVP2 displaying more rapid oxidation of the two compounds. They were tested for the ability to decolorize five industrial dyes, and TvVP2 presented a greater ability to oxidize and decolorize the dye substrates than TvDyP1.IMPORTANCETrametesversicolor is a wood-inhabiting agaricomycete known for its ability to cause strong white-rot decay on hardwood and for its high tolerance of phenolic compounds. Among white-rot fungi, the basidiomycete T. versicolor has been extensively studied for its ability to degrade wood, specifically lignin, thanks to an extracellular oxidative enzymatic system. The corresponding oxidative system was previously studied in several works for classical lignin and manganese peroxidases, and in this study, two new components of the oxidative system of T. versicolor, one dye-decolorizing peroxidase and one versatile peroxidase, were biochemically characterized in depth and compared to other fungal peroxidases.
