ABSTRACT Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) depolymerase from Ralstonia pickettii T1 (PhaZRpiT1) adsorbs to denatured PHB (dPHB) via its substrate-binding domain (SBD) to enhance dPHB degradation. To evaluate the amino acid residues participating in dPHB adsorption, PhaZRpiT1 was subjected to a high-throughput screening system consisting of PCR-mediated random mutagenesis targeted to the SBD gene and a plate assay to estimate the effects of mutations in the SBD on dPHB degradation by PhaZRpiT1. Genetic analysis of the isolated mutants with lowered activity showed that Ser, Tyr, Val, Ala, and Leu residues in the SBD were replaced by other residues at high frequency. Some of the mutant enzymes, which contained the residues replaced at high frequency, were applied to assays of dPHB degradation and adsorption, revealing that those residues are essential for full activity of both dPHB degradation and adsorption. These results suggested that PhaZRpiT1 adsorbs on the surface of dPHB not only via hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl groups of Ser in the enzyme and carbonyl groups in the PHB polymer but also via hydrophobic interaction between hydrophobic residues in the enzyme and methyl groups in the PHB polymer. The L441H enzyme, which displayed lower dPHB degradation and adsorption abilities, was purified and applied to a dPHB degradation assay to compare it with the wild-type enzyme. The kinetic analysis of the dPHB degradation suggested that lowering the affinity of the SBD towards dPHB causes a decrease in the dPHB degradation rate without the loss of its hydrolytic activity for the polymer chain.

ABSTRACT DNA fragments were amplified by PCR from all tested strains of Aeromonas hydrophila, A. caviae, and A. sobria with primers designed based on sequence alignment of all lipase, phospholipase C, and phospholipase A1 genes and the cytotonic enterotoxin gene, all of which have been reported to have the consensus region of the putative lipase substrate-binding domain. All strains showed lipase activity, and all amplified DNA fragments contained a nucleotide sequence corresponding to the substrate-binding domain. Thirty-five distinct nucleotide sequence patterns and 15 distinct deduced amino acid sequence patterns were found in the amplified DNA fragments from 59 A. hydrophila strains. The deduced amino acid sequences of the amplified DNA fragments from A. caviae and A. sobria strains had distinctive amino acids, suggesting a species-specific sequence in each organism. Furthermore, the amino acid sequence patterns appear to differ between clinical and environmental isolates among A. hydrophila strains. Some strains whose nucleotide sequences were identical to one another in the amplified region showed an identical DNA fingerprinting pattern by repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence-PCR genotyping. These results suggest that A. hydrophila, and also A. caviae and A. sobria strains, have a gene encoding a protein with lipase activity. Homologs of the gene appear to be widely distributed in Aeromonas strains, probably associating with the evolutionary genetic difference between clinical and environmental isolates of A. hydrophila. Additionally, the distinctive nucleotide sequences of the genes could be attributed to the genotype of each strain, suggesting that their analysis may be helpful in elucidating the genetic heterogeneity of Aeromonas.

DnaK, a heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) homologue in Escherichia coli, possesses a single tryptophan residue in its ATPase domain. Changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of DnaK offer a simple means not only to follow the binding of ATP and of ADP plus the co-chaperone GrpE to the ATPase domain, but also to investigate the kinetics of peptide binding to the substrate-binding domain of ATP·DnaK and GrpE-liganded ADP·DnaK. Addition of ATP or of ADP plus GrpE to nucleotide-free DnaK resulted in a similar decrease in intrinsic fluorescence, indicating similar open conformations of the ATPase domain under these two conditions. Binding of peptide increased the intrinsic fluorescence of both ATP·DnaK and ADP·DnaK·GrpE and rendered their spectra similar to the spectrum of ADP·DnaK with closed conformation of the ATPase domain. These results, together with the differential kinetics of peptide binding to ADP·DnaK on the one hand, and to ATP·DnaK or ADP·DnaK·GrpE on the other, suggest that ligands for either domain, i.e. ATP or ADP plus GrpE for the ATPase domain and peptides for the substrate-binding domain, shift the conformational equilibrium of both domains of DnaK towards the open and closed forms, respectively, in a concerted and parallel manner.
