Abstract
The 1,125-bp mabB gene encoding 5-aminosalicylate (5ASA) 1,2-dioxygenase, a nonheme iron dioxygenase in the bicupin family that catalyzes the cleavage of the 5ASA aromatic ring to form cis-4-amino-6-carboxy-2-oxohexa-3,5-dienoate in the biodegradation of 3-aminobenzoate, was cloned from Comamonas sp. strain QT12 and characterized. The deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme has low sequence identity with that of other reported ring-cleaving dioxygenases. MabB was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli cells and purified as a His-tagged enzyme. The optimum pH and temperature for MabB are 8.0 and 10°C, respectively. FeII is required for the catalytic activity of the purified enzyme. The apparent Km and Vmax values of MabB for 5ASA are 52.0 ± 5.6 μM and 850 ± 33.2 U/mg, respectively. The two oxygen atoms incorporated into the product of the MabB-catalyzed reaction are both from the dioxygen molecule. Both 5ASA and gentisate could be converted by MabB; however, the catalytic efficiency of MabB for 5ASA was much higher (∼70-fold) than that for gentisate. The mabB-disrupted mutant lost the ability to grow on 3-aminobenzoate, and mabB expression was higher when strain QT12 was cultivated in the presence of 3-aminobenzoate. Thus, 5ASA is the physiological substrate of MabB.IMPORTANCE For several decades, 5-aminosalicylate (5ASA) has been advocated as the drug mesalazine to treat human inflammatory bowel disease and considered the key intermediate in the xenobiotic degradation of many aromatic organic pollutants. 5ASA biotransformation research will help us elucidate the microbial degradation of these pollutants. Most studies have reported that gentisate 1,2-dioxygenases (GDOs) can convert 5ASA with significantly high activity; however, the catalytic efficiency of these enzymes for gentisate is much higher than that for 5ASA. This study showed that MabB can convert 5ASA to cis-4-amino-6-carboxy-2-oxohexa-3,5-dienoate, incorporating two oxygen atoms from the dioxygen molecule into the product. Unlike GDOs, MabB uses 5ASA instead of gentisate as the primary substrate. mabB is the first reported 5-aminosalicylate 1,2-dioxygenase gene.

Abstract
Mononuclear, non-heme-Fe(II) centers are key structures in O2 metabolism and catalyze an impressive variety of enzymatic reactions. While most are bound via two histidines and a carboxylate, some show a different organization. A short overview of atypically coordinated O2 dependent mononuclear-non-heme-Fe(II) centers is presented here Enzymes with 2-His, 3-His, 3-His-carboxylate and 4-His bound Fe(II) centers are discussed with a focus on their reactivity, metal ion promiscuity and recent progress in the elucidation of their enzymatic mechanisms. Observations concerning these and classically coordinated Fe(II) centers are used to understand the impact of the metal binding motif on catalysis.

Abstract
Biodegradation pathways of synthetic nitroaromatic compounds and anilines are well documented, but little is known about those of nitroanilines. We previously reported that the initial step in 5-nitroanthranilic acid (5NAA) degradation by Bradyrhizobium sp. strain JS329 is a hydrolytic deamination to form 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5NSA), followed by ring fission catalyzed by 5NSA dioxygenase. The mechanism of release of the nitro group was unknown. In this study, we subcloned, sequenced, and expressed the genes encoding 5NAA deaminase (5NAA aminohydrolase, NaaA), 5NSA dioxygenase (NaaB) and lactonase (NaaC), the key genes responsible for 5NAA degradation. Sequence analysis and enzyme characterization revealed that NaaA is a hydrolytic metalloenzyme with a narrow substrate range. The nitro group is spontaneously eliminated as nitrite concomitant with the formation of a lactone from the ring fission product of 5NSA dioxygenation. The elimination of the nitro group during lactone formation is a previously unreported mechanism for denitration of nitro aliphatic compounds.

Abstract
Ring-cleaving dioxygenases catalyze the oxygenolytic fission of catecholic compounds, a critical step in the aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds by bacteria. Two classes of these enzymes have been identified, based on the mode of ring cleavage: intradiol dioxygenases utilize non-heme Fe(III) to cleave the aromatic nucleus ortho to the hydroxyl substituents; and extradiol dioxygenases utilize non-heme Fe(II) or other divalent metal ions to cleave the aromatic nucleus meta to the hydroxyl substituents. Recent genomic, structural, spectroscopic, and kinetic studies have increased our understanding of the distribution, evolution, and mechanisms of these enzymes. Overall, extradiol dioxygenases appear to be more versatile than their intradiol counterparts. Thus, the former cleave a wider variety of substrates, have evolved on a larger number of structural scaffolds, and occur in a wider variety of pathways, including biosynthetic pathways and pathways that degrade non-aromatic compounds. The catalytic mechanisms of the two enzymes proceed via similar iron-alkylperoxo intermediates. The ability of extradiol enzymes to act on a variety of non-catecholic compounds is consistent with proposed differences in the breakdown of this iron-alkylperoxo intermediate in the two enzymes, involving alkenyl migration in extradiol enzymes and acyl migration in intradiol enzymes. Nevertheless, despite recent advances in our understanding of these fascinating enzymes, the major determinant of the mode of ring cleavage remains unknown.

Abstract
The gene coding for a dioxygenase with the ability to cleave salicylate by a direct ring fission mechanism to 2-oxohepta-3,5-dienedioic acid was cloned from Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans strain BN12. The deduced amino acid sequence encoded a protein with a molecular mass of 41,176 Da, which showed 28 and 31% sequence identity, respectively, to a gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase from Pseudomonas alcaligenes NCIMB 9867 and a 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate 1,2-dioxygenase from Nocardioides sp. KP7. The highest degree of sequence identity (58%) was found to a presumed gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase from Corynebacterium glutamicum. The enzyme from P. salicylatoxidans BN12 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and purified as a His-tagged enzyme variant. The purified enzyme oxidized in addition to salicylate, gentisate, 5-aminosalicylate, and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate also 3-amino- and 3- and 4-hydroxysalicylate, 5-fluorosalicylate, 3-, 4-, and 5-chlorosalicylate, 3-, 4-, and 5-bromosalicylate, 3-, 4-, and 5-methylsalicylate, and 3,5-dichlorosalicylate. The reactions were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, and the reaction products were tentatively identified. For comparison, the putative gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase from C. glutamicum was functionally expressed in E. coli and shown to convert gentisate but not salicylate or 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate.

Abstract
In cell extracts of Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans strain BN12, an enzymatic activity was detected which converted salicylate in an oxygen-dependent but NAD(P)H-independent reaction to a product with an absorbance maximum at 283 nm. This metabolite was isolated, purified, and identified by mass spectrometry and (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as 2-oxohepta-3,5-dienedioic acid. This metabolite could be formed only by direct ring fission of salicylate by a 1,2-dioxygenase reaction. Cell extracts from P. salicylatoxidans also oxidized 5-aminosalicylate, 3-, 4-, and 5-chlorosalicylate, 3-, 4-, and 5-methylsalicylate, 3- and 5-hydroxysalicylate (gentisate), and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate. The dioxygenase was purified and shown to consist of four identical subunits with a molecular weight of about 45,000. The purified enzyme showed higher catalytic constants with gentisate or 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate than with salicylate. It was therefore concluded that P. salicylatoxidans synthesized a gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase with an extraordinary substrate range, which also allowed the oxidation of salicylate.

Abstract
Most bacterial pathways for the degradation of aromatic compounds involve introduction of two hydroxyl groups either ortho or para to each other. Ring fission then occurs at the bond adjacent to one of the hydroxyl groups. In contrast, 2-aminophenol is cleaved to 2-aminomuconic acid semialdehyde in the nitrobenzene-degrading strain Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes JS45. To examine the relationship between this enzyme and other dioxygenases, 2-aminophenol 1,6-dioxygenase has been purified by ethanol precipitation, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography. The molecular mass determined by gel filtration was 140,000 Da. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed two subunits of 35,000 and 39,000 Da, which suggested an alpha2beta2 subunit structure. Studies with inhibitors indicated that ferrous iron was the sole cofactor. The Km values for 2-aminophenol and oxygen were 4.2 and 710 microM, respectively. The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of catechol, 6-amino-m-cresol, 2-amino-m-cresol, and 2-amino-4-chlorophenol. 3-Hydroxyanthranilate, protocatechuate, gentisate, and 3- and 4-methylcatechol were not substrates. The substrate range and the subunit structure are unique among those of the known ring cleavage dioxygenases.

Abstract
The aerobic metabolism of 3-aminobenzoate by bacteria was studied. Bacterial strains degrading 3-aminobenzoate were obtained by enrichment with 3-aminobenzoate (strain Ia3) or 5-aminosalicylate (strains BN9 and 5AS1). During growth with 3-aminobenzoate, strain Ia3 and strain 5AS1 transiently accumulated 5-aminosalicylate in the culture broth. In the presence of inhibitors of 5-aminosalicylate 1,2-dioxygenase, resting cells of all three strains converted 3-aminobenzoate to stoichiometric amounts of 5-aminosalicylate. 5-Aminosalicylate 1,2-dioxygenase activity was induced in all strains after growth with 3-aminobenzoate or 5-aminosalicylate, but not after growth in complex media.

Abstract
Delivery of 5-aminosalicylic acid to the colon by sulphasalazine, other azo-bonded compounds and controlled-release preparations is introduced in the context of metabolism by epithelial cells and therapeutic efficacy in ulcerative colitis. Potential modes of action are then reviewed, including actions on luminal bacteria, epithelial cell surface receptors, cellular events (such as nitric oxide release or butyrate oxidation), electrolyte transport and epithelial permeability. Evidence for an influence of salicylates on circulating and lamina propria inflammatory cells is presented, as well as actions on adhesion molecules, chemotactic peptides and inflammatory mediators, such as eicosanoids, platelet-activating factor, cytokines or reactive oxygen metabolites. The precise mechanism will remain uncertain as long as the aetiology of ulcerative colitis is unknown, but a pluripotential mode of action of salicylates is an advantage when influencing the network of events that constitute chronic inflammation.

Abstract
5-Aminonaphthalene-2-sulfonate (5A2NS) is converted by strain BN6 into 5-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylate (5H2QC). The authenticity of this new compound is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. Its formation is explained by a spontaneous cyclization of the hypothetical metabolite 6′-amino-2′-hydroxybenzalpyruvate. The formation of 5H2QC as a dead-end product of 5A2NS prevents NADH regeneration so that 5A2NS oxidation is limited by the internal NADH pool.

Abstract
The aerobic degradation of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate by Pseudomonas sp. BN9 was studied. Intact cells of Pseudomonas sp. BN9 grown with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate oxidized 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate but not salicylate. Cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas sp. BN9 converted 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate after the addition of NAD(P)H. A partially purified protein fraction converted 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate with NADH to 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene. 1,2,4-Trihydroxybenzene was converted by a 1,2-dioxygenase to maleylpyruvate, which was reduced by a NADH-dependent enzyme to 3-oxoadipate. 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoate 1-monooxygenase, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene 1,2-dioxygenase and maleylpyruvate reductase were induced in Pseudomonas sp. BN9 after growth with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate.

Abstract
The formation of three oxidant-derived products of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in vivo was demonstrated in patients with active ulcerative colitis as well as in healthy subjects. The products were isolated from faeces by preparative HPLC and their chemical structures were found to be oxidation products of 5-ASA using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Reactions carried out in vitro between 5-ASA and oxidants suggested to be present in the inflamed bowel verified that the hypochlorite-mediated oxidation of 5-ASA as well as the haemoglobin-catalysed H2O2-dependent oxidation of 5-ASA resulted in the formation of a single oxidation product of 5-ASA. This product was similar to, but not identical to any of the products identified in faeces from patients receiving 5-ASA. Oxygen radical-mediated oxidation of 5-ASA gave several products, different from the products isolated. Finally, it was verified that the products formed in vivo are not formed as a result of autooxidation of 5-ASA either in faeces extract or in pharmaceuticals.
