Project description:Fervidobacterium islandicum overview

Project description:Keratin degradation is of great interest for converting agro-industrial waste into bioactive peptides and is directly relevant for understanding the pathogenesis of superficial infections caused by dermatophytes. However, the mechanism of this process remains unclear. Here, we obtained the complete genome sequence of a feather-degrading, extremely thermophilic bacterium, Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 and performed bioinformatics-based functional annotation. Reverse transcription PCR revealed that 57 putative protease-encoding genes were differentially expressed in substrate-dependent manners. Consequently, 16 candidate genes were highly expressed under starvation conditions, when keratin degradation begun. Subsequently, the dynamic expression profiles of these 16 selected genes in response to feathers, as determined via quantitative real-time PCR, suggested that they included four metalloproteases and two peptidases including an ATP-dependent serine protease, all of which might act as key players in feather decomposition. Furthermore, in vitro keratinolytic assays supported the notion that recombinant enzymes enhanced the decomposition of feathers in the presence of cell extracts. Therefore, our genome-based systematic and dynamic expression profiling demonstrated that these identified metalloproteases together with two additional peptidases might be primarily associated with the decomposition of native feathers, suggesting that keratin degradation can be achieved via non-canonical catalysis of several membrane-associated metalloproteases in cooperation with cytosolic proteases.

Project description:Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 (KCTC 4680) is an extremely thermophilic anaerobe isolated from a hot spring in Indonesia. This bacterium could degrade native chicken feathers completely at 70 °C within 48 h, which is of potential importance on the basis of relevant environmental and agricultural issues in bioremediation and development of eco-friendly bioprocesses for the treatment of native feathers. However, its genomic and phylogenetic analysis remains unclear. Here, we report the high-quality draft genome sequence of an extremely thermophilic anaerobe, F. islandicum AW-1. The genome consists of 2,359,755 bp, which encodes 2,184 protein-coding genes and 64 RNA-encoding genes. This may reveal insights into anaerobic metabolism for keratin degradation and also provide a biological option for poultry waste treatments.

Project description:A gene encoding a subtilisin-like protease, designated islandisin, from the extremely thermophilic bacterium Fervidobacterium islandicum (DSMZ 5733) was cloned and actively expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene was identified by PCR using degenerated primers based on conserved regions around two of the three catalytic residues (Asp, His, and Ser) of subtilisin-like serine protease-encoding genes. Using inverse PCR regions flanking the catalytic residues, the gene could be cloned. Sequencing revealed an open reading frame of 2,106 bp. The deduced amino acid sequence indicated that the enzyme is synthesized as a proenzyme with a putative signal sequence of 33 amino acids (aa) in length. The mature protein contains the three catalytic residues (Asp177, His215, and Ser391) and has a length of 668 aa. Amino acid sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis indicated that this enzyme could be classified as a subtilisin-like serine protease in the subgroup of thermitase. The whole gene was amplified by PCR, ligated into pET-15b, and successfully expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. The recombinant islandisin was purified by heat denaturation, followed by hydroxyapatite chromatography. The enzyme is active at a broad range of temperatures (60 to 80 degrees C) and pHs (pH 6 to 8.5) and shows optimal proteolytic activity at 80 degrees C and pH 8.0. Islandisin is resistant to a number of detergents and solvents and shows high thermostability over a long period of time (up to 32 h) at 80 degrees C with a half-life of 4 h at 90 degrees C and 1.5 h at 100 degrees C.

Project description:The NA23_RS08100 gene of Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 encodes a keratin-degrading β-aspartyl peptidase (FiBAP) that is highly expressed under starvation conditions. Herein, we expressed the gene in Escherichia coli, purified the recombinant enzyme to homogeneity, and investigated its function. The 318 kDa recombinant FiBAP enzyme exhibited maximal activity at 80°C and pH 7.0 in the presence of Zn2+. Size-exclusion chromatography revealed that the native enzyme is an octamer comprising a tetramer of dimers; this was further supported by determination of its crystal structure at 2.6 Å resolution. Consistently, the structure of FiBAP revealed three additional salt bridges in each dimer, involving 12 ionic interactions that might contribute to its high thermostability. In addition, the co-crystal structure containing the substrate analog N-carbobenzoxy-β-Asp-Leu at 2.7 Å resolution revealed binuclear Zn2+-mediated substrate binding, suggesting that FiBAP is a hyperthermophilic type-I IadA, in accordance with sequence-based phylogenetic analysis. Indeed, complementation of a Leu auxotrophic E. coli mutant strain (ΔiadA and ΔleuB) with FiBAP enabled the mutant strain to grow on isoAsp-Leu peptides. Remarkably, LC-MS/MS analysis of soluble keratin hydrolysates revealed that FiBAP not only cleaves the C-terminus of isoAsp residues but also has a relatively broad substrate specificity toward α-peptide bonds. Moreover, heat shock-induced protein aggregates retarded bacterial growth, but expression of BAP alleviated the growth defect by degrading damaged proteins. Taken together, these results suggest that the viability of hyperthermophiles under stressful conditions may rely on the activity of BAP within cellular protein repair systems.

Project description:Most extremophilic anaerobes possess a sulfur formation (Suf) system for Fe-S cluster biogenesis. In addition to its essential role in redox chemistry and stress responses of Fe-S cluster proteins, the Suf system may play an important role in keratin degradation by Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1. Comparative genomics of the order Thermotogales revealed that the feather-degrading F. islandicum AW-1 has a complete Suf-like machinery (SufCBDSU) that is highly expressed in cells grown on native feathers in the absence of elemental sulfur (S0 ). On the other hand, F. islandicum AW-1 exhibited a significant retardation in the Suf system-mediated keratin degradation in the presence of S0 . Detailed differential expression analysis of sulfur assimilation machineries unveiled the mechanism by which an efficient sulfur delivery from persulfurated SufS to SufU is achieved during keratinolysis under sulfur starvation. Indeed, addition of SufS-SufU to cell extracts containing keratinolytic proteases accelerated keratin decomposition in vitro under reducing conditions. Remarkably, mass spectrometric analysis of extracellular and intracellular levels of amino acids suggested that redox homeostasis within cells coupled to extracellular cysteine and cystine recycling might be a prerequisite for keratinolysis. Taken together, these results suggest that the Suf-like machinery including the SufS-SufU complex may contribute to sulfur availability for an extracellular reducing environment as well as intracellular redox homeostasis through cysteine released from keratin hydrolysate under starvation conditions.
