Abstract
Extradiol dioxygenases (EDOs) catalyzing meta-cleavage of catecholic compounds promise an effective way to detoxify aromatic pollutants. This work reported a novel scenario to engineer our recently identified Type I EDO from Tcu3516 for a broader substrate scope and enhanced activity, which was based on 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl (2,3-DHB)-liganded molecular docking of Tcu3516 and multiple sequence alignment with other 22 Type I EDOs. 11 non-conservative residues of Tcu3516 within 6 Å distance to the 2,3-DHB ligand center were selected as potential hotspots and subjected to semi-rational design using 6 catecholic analogues as substrates; the mutants V186L and V212N returned with progressive evolution in substrate scope and catalytic activity. Both mutants were combined with D285A for construction of double mutants and final triple mutant V186L/V212N/D285A. Except for 2,3-DHB (the mutant V186L/D285A gave the best catalytic performance), the triple mutant prevailed all other 5 catecholic compounds for their degradation; affording the catalytic efficiency kcat/Km value increase by 10-30 folds, protein Tm (structural rigidity) increase by 15 °C and the half-life time enhancement by 10 times compared to the wild type Tcu3516. The molecular dynamic simulation suggested that a stabler core and a more flexible entrance are likely accounting for enhanced catalytic activity and stability of enzymes.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 391:122211. [PMID: 32036315 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 01/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study aims to clarify the interaction mechanism of substrate with catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) through multi-technique combination. A novel C23O (named C23O-2G) was cloned, heterogeneously expressed, and identified as a new member in subfamily I.2 of extradiol dioxygenases. Based on the simulations of molecular docking and dynamics, the exact binding sites of catechol on C23O-2G were identified, and the catalytic mechanism mediated by key residues was proposed. The roles of the predicted residues during catalysis were confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis, and the mutation of Thr254 could significantly increase catalytic efficiency and substrate specificity of C23O-2G. The binding and thermodynamic parameters obtained from fluorescence spectra suggested that catechol could effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of C23O-2G via static and dynamic quenching mechanisms and spontaneously formed C23O-2G/catechol complex by the binding forces of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force. The results of UV-vis spectra, synchronous fluorescence, and CD spectra revealed obvious changes in the microenvironment and conformation of C23O-2G, especially for the secondary structure. The atomic force microscope images further demonstrated the changes from an appearance point of view. This study could improve our mechanistic understanding of representative dioxygenases involved in aromatic compound degradation.

Abstract
LigAB from Sphingomonas paucimobilis SYK-6 is the only structurally characterized dioxygenase of the largely uncharacterized superfamily of Type II extradiol dioxygenases (EDO). This enzyme catalyzes the oxidative ring-opening of protocatechuate (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid or PCA) in a pathway allowing the degradation of lignin derived aromatic compounds (LDACs). LigAB has also been shown to utilize two other LDACs from the same metabolic pathway as substrates, gallate, and 3-O-methyl gallate; however, kcat/KM had not been reported for any of these compounds. In order to assess the catalytic efficiency and get insights into the observed promiscuity of this enzyme, steady-state kinetic analyses were performed for LigAB with these and a library of related compounds. The dioxygenation of PCA by LigAB was highly efficient, with a kcat of 51 s(-1) and a kcat/KM of 4.26 × 10(6) M(-1)s(-1). LigAB demonstrated the ability to use a variety of catecholic molecules as substrates beyond the previously identified gallate and 3-O-methyl gallate, including 3,4-dihydroxybenzamide, homoprotocatechuate, catechol, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzonitrile. Interestingly, 3,4-dihydroxybenzamide (DHBAm) behaves in a manner similar to that of the preferred benzoic acid substrates, with a kcat/Km value only ∼4-fold lower than that for gallate and ∼10-fold higher than that for 3-O-methyl gallate. All of these most active substrates demonstrate mechanistic inactivation of LigAB. Additionally, DHBAm exhibits potent product inhibition that leads to an inactive enzyme, being more highly deactivating at lower substrate concentration, a phenomena that, to our knowledge, has not been reported for another dioxygenase substrate/product pair. These results provide valuable catalytic insight into the reactions catalyzed by LigAB and make it the first Type II EDO that is fully characterized both structurally and kinetically.
