  • Thermophilic Bacteria Are Potential Sources of Novel Rieske Non-Heme
    Chakraborty et al. AMB Expr (2017) 7:17 DOI 10.1186/s13568-016-0318-5 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Thermophilic bacteria are potential sources of novel Rieske non‑heme iron oxygenases Joydeep Chakraborty, Chiho Suzuki‑Minakuchi, Kazunori Okada and Hideaki Nojiri* Abstract Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases, which have a Rieske-type [2Fe–2S] cluster and a non-heme catalytic iron center, are an important family of oxidoreductases involved mainly in regio- and stereoselective transformation of a wide array of aromatic hydrocarbons. Though present in all domains of life, the most widely studied Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases are found in mesophilic bacteria. The present study explores the potential for isolating novel Rieske non- heme iron oxygenases from thermophilic sources. Browsing the entire bacterial genome database led to the identifi‑ cation of 45 homologs from thermophilic bacteria distributed mainly among Chloroflexi, Deinococcus–Thermus and Firmicutes. Thermostability, measured according to the aliphatic index, showed higher values for certain homologs compared with their mesophilic relatives. Prediction of substrate preferences indicated that a wide array of aromatic hydrocarbons could be transformed by most of the identified oxygenase homologs. Further identification of putative genes encoding components of a functional oxygenase system opens up the possibility of reconstituting functional thermophilic Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase systems with novel properties.

K. RAI. ** *Centre for Biotechnology, University of Allahabad, Allahabad, ** Centre of Food Technology, University of Allahabad, Allahabad. Email: [email protected] Received: 13 Jul 2014 Revised and Accepted: 25 Aug 2014 ABSTRACT Objective: Enzymes like oxalate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.4) and superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) from germin family are known to generate active oxygen species. In the mammalian system, excess accumulations of oxalate causes kidney stones. Oxalate oxidase, an H2O2-generating enzyme, used for detection of oxalate. The aim of the present work is to screen out the activity of enzymes from all three stages of banana (Musa paradisica L. Variety “Bhusawal”) peel and to isolate, purified and characterized oxalate oxidase from this. With that describe the physiological role of both oxalate oxidase and superoxide dismutase in the plant. Methods: Oxalate oxidase activity can be detected directly in SDS-PAGE gel. Purification was done by using ion-exchange chromatography and SDS- PAGE Gel. Results: Highest activity 5.99+0.021 unit /mg of oxalate oxidase were detected in leaky ripe stage of banana peel after purification. In crude extract of unripe banana peel activity of superoxide dismutase were found high (2.41unit/mg) compared to oxalate oxidase (0.269+ 0.020 unit/mg). Their occurence in different ripening stage of banana peel shows its role in plant defense mechanism. Conclusion: The purified enzyme of oxalate oxidase from banana peel is useful in the determination of oxalate content in common food, which is necessary for the prescription of the low oxalate diet for a patient with urinary and kidney stone where as superoxide dismutase work against ageing.
