S. Pierce Mercaptopropionate dioxygenase (MDO) from Aztobacter Vinelandii is a non-heme mononuclear iron enzyme that catalyzes the oxygen dependent conversion of 3-mercaptopropionic acid ( 3mpa ) to produce 3-sulfinopropinioic acid ( 3spa ). Nearly, all thiol dioxygenases have a conserved ‘catalytic triad ’ within the active site, consisting of three outer Fe-coordination sphere residues S155, H157 and Y159. With the notable exception of mammalian cysteamine (2- aminoethanethiol) dioxygenase (ADO), this ‘ catalytic triad ’ is universally conserved across phylogenic domains. X-ray crystallographic studies clearly show a hydrogen bond network connecting the ‘ catalytic triad ’ to the mononuclear iron site; however, its influence on substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency is poorly understood. In this work, kinetic and spectroscopic characterization of Av MDO is presented, focusing especially on the role of the conserved ‘catalytic triad’ on enzyme catalysis. In addition, pH/pD-dependent to solvent kinetic isotope (SKIE) experiments and proton inventory experiments were performed to investigate rate limiting proton- dependent steps during catalysis. Complementary viscosity studies are presented to probe diffusion limited steps in steady-state reactions. 3 Comparative studies were performed for reactions with L-cysteine and 3mpa as a substrate, for the active site variants, H157N and Y159F to investigate the role of specific residues within the ‘catalytic triad’. Taken together with supporting EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopic studies, a mechanistic model is proposed in which the ‘ catalytic triad ’ serves to gate proton delivery to the substrate-bound Fe-site. These studies suggest that the primary role of the ‘ catalytic triad ’ is to neutralize the negative charge of the substrate-carboxylate group in the rate-limiting non-chemical steps leading up to O 2-activation. 4 Table of contents Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………….2 Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………3 List of illustrations…………………………………………………………………………. 9 List of tables……………………………………………………………………………….11 List of Schemes………………………………………………………………………………12 Chapter 1 Introduction to Mononuclear Non-heme iron enzymes………………………….14 Enzymes containing 2 His 1 carboxylate facial triad……………………………………… 16 Catechol Cleaving Dioxygenase…………………………………………………………....18 Extradiol dioxygenase……………………………………………………………………….19 Intradiol dioxygenase……………………………………………………………………….20 Rieske Dioxygenase…………………………………………………………………………21 α-Ketoglutarate dependent enzymes………………………………………………………. 25 Pterin-Dependent Hydroxylases……………………………………………………………28 Enzymes Biosynthesis of antibiotics……………………………………………………… 31 ACCO………………………………………………………………………………………32 Isopenicillin N synthase…………………………………………………………………… 34 Introduction of the 3-His facial triad……………………………………………………….36 5 Cysteine dioxygenase…………………………………………………………………………….38 3- Mercaptopropionic acid dioxygenase………………………………………………………...41 Chapter 2 “The ‘Gln-Type’ thiol dioxygenase from Azotobacter vinelandii is a 3- mercaptopropionic acid dioxygenase…………………………………………………………….44 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………44 Materials and method……………………………………………………………………………47 Expression of Av MDO…………………………………………………………………………47 Enzyme purification…………………………………………………………………………….48 Enzyme assays………………………………………………………………………………….49 Synthesis of 3-sulfinopropionic acid……………………………………………………………50 Data analysis…………………………………………………………………………………….51 Anaerobic work…………………………………………………………………………………52 Physical methods……………………………………………………………………………….52 Nitric oxide additions……………………………………………………………………………53 Results………………………………………………………………………………………….54 Purification of Av MDO……………………………………………………………………….54.

In this study, the potential of white rot fungi Dichomitus squalens for 16 enhancing laccase production during interaction with two other white rot fungi Trametes 17 versicolor or Pleurotus ostreatus was identified. To probe the mechanism of laccase induction and 18 the role of laccase played during the combative interaction, we analyzed the laccase induction 19 response to stressful conditions during fungal interaction related to the differential gene expression 20 profile. We further confirmed the expression patterns of 16 selected genes by qRT-PCR analysis. 21 We noted that many differential expression genes (DEGs) encoding proteins were involved in 22 xenobiotics detoxification and ROS generation or reduction, including aldo/keto reductase, 23 glutathione S-transferases, cytochrome P450 enzymes, alcohol oxidases and dehydrogenase, 24 manganese peroxidase and laccase.

Despite several decades of study, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the symbiotic relationship between the dinoflagellate algae and the coral hosts are still not clear. One of the hypotheses on the metabolic interactions between the host and the symbiont suggests that ammonium assimilation by the host can be the underlying mechanism of this endosymbiosis regulation. An essential intermediate of the ammonium assimilation pathway is glutamate, which is also known for its glutamatergic signaling function. Interestingly, recent transcriptomic level and DNA methylation studies on sea anemone Aiptasia showed differences in metabotropic glutamate signaling components when comparing symbiotic and non-symbiotic animals. The changes in this process on transcriptional and epigenetic levels indicate the importance of glutamate signaling in regard to cnidarian symbiosis.

However, despite the early isolation of an E. coli alkB mutant, the function of the AlkB protein had not been resolved (Kataoka et al, 1983). The E. coli alkB mutant is defective in processing methylated single stranded DNA, therefore, it was suggested that the AlkB protein either repairs or tolerates lesions generated in single stranded DNA, such as 1-methyladenine (1-meA) or 3-methylcytosine (3-meC), or that AlkB only acts on single stranded DNA (Dinglay et al, 2000).

    Biochemistry 2006, 45, 1009-1016 1009 Kinetic and Spectroscopic Studies on the Quercetin 2,3-Dioxygenase from Bacillus subtilis† Matthew R. Schaab, Brett M. Barney,‡ and Wilson A. Francisco* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Arizona State UniVersity, Tempe, Arizona 85287-1604 ReceiVed August 8, 2005; ReVised Manuscript ReceiVed NoVember 16, 2005 ABSTRACT: Quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase from Bacillus subtilis (QueD) converts the flavonol quercetin and molecular oxygen to 2-protocatechuoylphloroglucinolcarboxylic acid and carbon monoxide. QueD, the only known quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase from a prokaryotic organism, has been described as an Fe2+- dependent bicupin dioxygenase. Metal-substituted QueDs were generated by expressing the enzyme in Escherichia coli grown on minimal media in the presence of a number of divalent metals. The addition of Mn2+,Co2+, and Cu2+ generated active enzymes, but the addition of Zn2+,Fe2+, and Cd2+ did not increase quercetinase activity to any significant level over a control in which no divalent ions were added to the media. The Mn2+- and Co2+-containing QueDs were purified, characterized by metal analysis and EPR spectroscopy, and studied by steady-state kinetics. Mn2+ was found to be incorporated nearly stoichiometrically to the two cupin motifs. The hyperfine coupling constant of the g ) 2 signal in the EPR spectra of the Mn2+-containing enzyme showed that the two Mn2+ ions are ligated in an octahedral coordination. The turnover number of this enzyme was found to be in the order of 25 s-1, nearly 40-fold higher than that of the Fe2+-containing enzyme and similar in magnitude to that of the Cu2+-containing quercertin 2,3-dioxygenase from Aspergillus japonicus.
