A new versatile peroxidase with extremophilic traits over-produced in MicroTom cell cultures.

ABSTRACT: Peroxidases are widespread key antioxidant enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of electron donor substrates in parallel with the decomposition of H₂O₂. In this work, a novel tomato peroxidase, named SAAP2, was isolated from MicroTom cell cultures, purified, and characterised. The enzyme was identified with 64% sequence coverage as the leprx21 gene product (suberization-associated anionic peroxidase 2-like) from Solanum lycopersicum, 334 amino acids long. Compared to other plant peroxidases, SAAP2 was more active at elevated temperatures, with the optimal temperature and pH at 90 °C and 5.0, respectively. Furthermore, the enzyme retained more than 80% of its maximal activity over the range of 70-80 °C and the presence of NaCl (1.0-4.5 M). It also exhibited broad pH versatility (65% relative activity over the pH range 2.0-7.0), acid-tolerance (80% residual activity after 22 h at pH 2.0-7.0), high thermostability (50% residual activity after 2 h at 80 °C) and proteolytic resistance. SAAP2 exhibited exceptional resistance under thermo-acidic conditions compared to the horseradish peroxidase benchmark, suggesting that it may find potential applications as a supplement or anti-pollution agent in the food industry.

Project description:UnlabelledAlthough Mn(2+) is the most abundant substrate of versatile peroxidases (VPs), repression of Pleurotus ostreatus vp1 expression occurred in Mn(2+)-sufficient medium. This seems to be a biological contradiction. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of direct oxidation by VP1 under Mn(2+)-deficient conditions, as it was found to be the predominant enzyme during fungal growth in the presence of synthetic and natural substrates. The native VP1 was purified and characterized using three substrates, Mn(2+), Orange II (OII), and Reactive Black 5 (RB5), each oxidized by a different active site in the enzyme. While the pH optimum for Mn(2+) oxidation is 5, the optimum pH for direct oxidation of both dyes was found to be 3. Indeed, effective in vivo decolorization occurred in media without addition of Mn(2+) only under acidic conditions. We have determined that Mn(2+) inhibits in vitro the direct oxidation of both OII and RB5 while RB5 stabilizes both Mn(2+) and OII oxidation. Furthermore, OII was found to inhibit the oxidation of both Mn(2+) and RB5. In addition, we could demonstrate that VP1 can cleave OII in two different modes. Under Mn(2+)-mediated oxidation conditions, VP1 was able to cleave the azo bond only in asymmetric mode, while under the optimum conditions for direct oxidation (absence of Mn(2+) at pH 3) both symmetric and asymmetric cleavages occurred. We concluded that the oxidation mechanism of aromatic compounds by VP1 is controlled by Mn(2+) and pH levels both in the growth medium and in the reaction mixture.ImportanceVP1 is a member of the ligninolytic heme peroxidase gene family of the white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus and plays a fundamental role in biodegradation. This enzyme exhibits a versatile nature, as it can oxidize different substrates under altered environmental conditions. VPs are highly interesting enzymes due to the fact that they contain unique active sites that are responsible for direct oxidation of various aromatic compounds, including lignin, in addition to the well-known Mn(2+) binding active site. This study demonstrates the limits of versatility of P. ostreatus VP1, which harbors multiple active sites, exhibiting a broad range of enzymatic activities, but they perform differently under distinct conditions. The versatility of P. ostreatus and its enzymes is an advantageous factor in the fungal ability to adapt to changing environments. This trait expands the possibilities for the potential utilization of P. ostreatus and other white rot fungi.

Project description:BackgroundThe selective lignin-degrading white-rot fungi are regarded to be the best lignin degraders and have been widely used for reducing the saccharification recalcitrance of lignocellulose. However, the biological delignification and conversion of lignocellulose in biorefinery is still limited. It is necessary to develop novel and more efficient bio-delignification systems.ResultsPhysisporinus vitreus relies on a new versatile peroxidase (VP)-based delignification strategy to remove enzymatic recalcitrance of corn stover efficiently, so that saccharification of corn stover was significantly enhanced to 349.1 mg/g biomass (yield of glucose) and 91.5% (hydrolysis yield of cellulose) at 28 days, as high as levels reached by thermochemical treatment. Analysis of the lignin structure using pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) showed that the total abundance of lignin-derived compounds decreased by 54.0% and revealed a notable demethylation during lignin degradation by P. vitreus. Monomeric and dimeric lignin model compounds were used to confirm the ligninolytic capabilities of extracellular ligninases secreted by P. vitreus. The laccase (Lac) from P. vitreus could not oxidize nonphenolic lignin compounds and polymerized β-O-4 and 5-5' dimers to precipitate which had a negative effect on the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover in vitro. However, the VP from P. vitreus could oxidize both phenolic and nonphenolic lignin model compounds as well as break the β-O-4 and 5-5' dimers into monomeric compounds, which were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS). Moreover, we showed that addition of purified VP in vitro improved the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover by 14.1%.ConclusionsFrom the highly efficient system of enzymatic recalcitrance removal by new white-rot fungus, we identified a new delignification strategy based on VP which could oxidize both phenolic and nonphenolic lignin units and break different linkages in lignin. In addition, this is the first evidence that VP could break 5-5' linkage efficiently in vitro. Moreover, VP improved the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover in vitro. The remarkable lignin-degradative potential makes VP attractive for biotechnological applications.
