Different fungal manganese-oxidizing peroxidases: a comparison between Bjerkandera sp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (original) (raw)

Characterization of manganese-dependent peroxidase isoenzymes from the ligninolytic fungus Phanerochaete flavido-alba

Research in Microbiology, 2002

Phanerochaete flavido-alba is able to decolorize and detoxify olive oil wastewater (OMW) in a process in which simple and polymeric phenols are removed. An unusual acidic MnP is accumulated during the degradation course. This microorganism produces two families of MnPs. MnP1 has an apparent molecular weight of 45 kDa and is secreted as a mixture of isoenzymes with pI ranging from 5.6 to 4.75. MnP2, which is produced as an unique isoenzyme, has an apparent molecular weight of 55.6 Mr and an unusual acidic pI lower than 2.8. The higher specific peroxidase activity for purified MnP2 was for Mn 2+ oxidation. Hydroquinone and methylhydroquinone oxidation by MnP2 was Mn 2+ dependent, in reaction mixtures without exogenous H 2 O 2. Conversely, ABTS oxidation was Mn 2+ independent. Two different DNA fragments (mnpA and mnpB), amplified by PCR, using MnP2 N-terminal sequence and oligonucleotides deduced from two conserved sequences of other MnPs, code for MnPs that belong to the P. chrysosporium mnp2 subfamily on the basis of intron position. The structure of mnpA and mnpB seems to be related to known manganese peroxidase genes, but mnpA encodes an Alanine instead of a Serine (Ser168) regarded as invariant within typical MnPs.

Purification and Catalytic Properties of Two Manganese Peroxidase Isoenzymes from Pleurotus eryngii

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1996

The ligninolytic basidiomycetes Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Pleurotus sajor-caju did not exhibit detectable levels of manganese peroxidase (MP) when grown in liquid media with ammonium tartrate as N source. However, after examination of cells grown on different organic N-based media, high M P activity was obtained in peptone medium, up to nearly 3 U/ml in cultures of I? eryngii. Moreover, Mnz+ supplementation was not used to produce MP, since all Mn2+ concentrations assayed (1 -4000 pM) inhibited production of this enzyme in liquid medium.

Molecular modeling of manganese peroxidase from the lignin-degrading fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora and structural comparison with other peroxidases

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 1998

Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is a white-rot basidiomycete that produces several isoenzymes of manganese peroxidase (MnP). A cDNA of one of them (MnP13-1) has been isolated and sequenced. The deduced aminoacid sequence shows about 60% similarity with the MnPs from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Based on the crystal structures of MnP and lignin peroxidase (LiP) from P. chrysosporium, and of a peroxidase from Arthromyces ramosus (ARP), we have modeled by homology the three dimensional structure of MnP13-1 using standard modeling procedures. Local molecular mechanics optimization performed in the region corresponding to the binding sites of Ca 2+ and Mn 2+ in MnP13-1 demonstrated that the stereochemistry and the geometry of binding are conserved in both MnPs. A putative aromatic binding site in MnP13-1 is described. We also report structural differences between the two MnPs, arising from the insertion in MnP13-1 of the sequences TGGN between residues S230 and D231 and TDSP at the C-terminal, both of which may have functional significance. The white-rot basidiomycete Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is strongly ligninolytic (Otjen et al. 1987, Blanchette et al. 1992). When growing on wood chips or in agitated liquid cultures, this fungus produces several isoenzymes of manganesedependent peroxidase (MnP) and laccase (Lobos et al. 1994, Salas et al. 1995). We have characterized some isoenzymes of MnP with respect to substrate specificity and requirement of Mn 2 + for activity (Urzúa et al. 1995), and recently we have isolated a cDNA clone of one of them (MnP13-1, GeneBank Access # U60413). The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA is over 60% homologous to the published MnP sequences from P. chrysosporium (Pribnow et al. 1989,

Manganese peroxidases of the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida

Applied and environmental microbiology, 1994

The ligninolytic enzymes produced by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida in liquid culture were studied. Only manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity could be detected in the supernatant liquid of the cultures. Lignin peroxidase (LiP) and laccase activities were not detected under a variety of different culture conditions. The highest MnP activity levels were obtained in nitrogen-limited cultures grown under an oxygen atmosphere. The enzyme was induced by Mn(II). The initial pH of the culture medium did not significantly affect the MnP production. Three MnP isozymes were identified (MnPI, MnPII, and MnPIII) and purified to homogeneity by anion-exchange chromatography followed by hydrophobic chromatography. The isozymes are glycoproteins with approximately the same molecular mass (around 45 kDa) but have different pIs. The pIs are 5.3, 4.2, and 3.3 for MnPI, MnPII, and MnPIII, respectively. The three isozymes are active in the same range of pHs (pHs 3.0 to 6.0) and have optimal pH...

Microbial manganese peroxidase: a ligninolytic enzyme and its ample opportunities in research

SN Applied Sciences

Microbial ligninolytic enzymes like laccase, manganese peroxidase, and lignin peroxidase have gained much attention in many industrial applications. Among these, manganese peroxidases are key contributors in the microbial ligninolytic system. It mainly oxidizes Mn(II) ions that remain present in wood and soils, into more reactive Mn 3+ form, stabilized by fungal chelators like oxalic acids. However, Mn 3+ acts as a diffusible redox intermediate, a low molecular weight compound, which breaks phenolic lignin and produces free radicals that have a tendency to disintegrate involuntarily. It has a great application potential and ample opportunities in diverse area, such as alcohol, pulp and paper, biofuel, agriculture, cosmetic, textile, and food industries. This review article is focused on the sources, catalytic reaction mechanisms and different biotechnological applications. However, manganese peroxidases have a potential for degradation of many xenobiotic compounds and produce polymeric products formulated them into valuable tools for bioremediation purposes. In addition, microbial MnPs can also convert lignin into biomass so that the sugar can be converted into bio-fuels. Thus, this review article is mainly focused and highlighted the current scenario and updated information on manganese peroxidase enzyme.

Description of the first fungal dye-decolorizing peroxidase oxidizing manganese(II)

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015

Two phylogenetically divergent genes of the new family of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) were found during comparison of the four DyP genes identified in the Pleurotus ostreatus genome with over 200 DyP genes from other basidiomycete genomes. The heterologously expressed enzymes (Pleos-DyP1 and Pleos-DyP4, following the genome nomenclature) efficiently oxidize anthraquinoid dyes (such as Reactive Blue 19), which are characteristic DyP substrates, as well as low redox-potential dyes (such as 2,2azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) and substituted phenols. However, only Pleos-DyP4 oxidizes the high redox-potential dye Reactive Black 5, at the same time that it displays high thermal and pH stability. Unexpectedly, both enzymes also oxidize Mn 2+ to Mn 3+ , albeit with very different catalytic efficiencies. Pleos-DyP4 presents a Mn 2+ turnover (56 s −1) nearly in the same order of the two other Mn 2+-oxidizing peroxidase families identified in the P. ostreatus genome: manganese peroxidases (100 s −1 average turnover) and versatile peroxidases (145 s −1 average turnover), whose genes were also heterologously expressed. Oxidation of Mn 2+ has been reported for an Amycolatopsis DyP (24 s −1) and claimed for other bacterial DyPs, albeit with lower activities, but this is the first time that Mn 2+ oxidation is reported for a fungal DyP. Interestingly, Pleos-DyP4 (together with ligninolytic peroxidases) is detected in the secretome of P. ostreatus grown on different lignocellulosic substrates. It is suggested that generation of Mn 3+ oxidizers plays a role in the P. ostreatus white-rot lifestyle since three different families of Mn 2+-oxidizing peroxidase genes are present in its genome being expressed during lignocellulose degradation.

Hybrid Mn-Peroxidase from the Ligninolytic Fungus Panus tigrinus 8/18. Isolation, Substrate Specificity, and Catalytic Cycle

Biochemistry-moscow, 2003

Increased manganese concentration during submerged cultivation of the ligninolytic white rot fungus Panus tigrinus 8/18 on N-limited mineral medium resulted in the induction of Mn-peroxidase and laccase. The Mn-peroxidase was purified with the purity factor RZ (A406/A280) = 4.3. The purified enzyme catalyzed H2O2-dependent oxidation of phenol oxidase substrates (aromatic amines, 2,2"-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazolinesulfonic acid), hydroquinone, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol) without Mn2+, which is not

Manganese Deficiency Can Replace High Oxygen Levels Needed for Lignin Peroxidase Formation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium

1999

Phanerochaete chrysosporium were studied by using shallow stationary cultures grown in the presence of limited or excess N. When no Mn was added, LIP was formed in both N-limited and N-excess cultures exposed to air, but no LIP activity was observed at Mn concentrations greater than 13 mg/liter. In oxygen-flushed, N-excess cultures, LIP was formed at all Mn concentrations, and the peak LIP activity values in the extracellular fluid were nearly identical in the presence of Mn concentrations ranging from 3 to 1,500 mg/liter. When the availability of oxygen to cultures exposed to air was increased by growing the fungus under nonimmersed liquid conditions, higher levels of Mn were needed to suppress LIP formation compared with the levels needed in shallow stationary cultures. The composition of LIP isozymes was affected by the levels of N and Mn. Addition of veratryl alcohol to cultures exposed to air did not eliminate the suppressive effect of Mn on LIP formation. A deficiency of Mn in N-excess cultures resulted in lower biomass and a lower rate of glucose consumption than in the presence of Mn. In addition, almost no activity of the antioxidant enzyme Mn superoxide dismutase was observed in Mn-deficient, N-excess cultures, but the activity of this enzyme increased as the Mn concentration increased from 3 to 13 mg/liter. No Zn/Cu superoxide dismutase activity was observed in N-excess cultures regardless of the Mn concentration.

Effect of Mn(II) on reactions catalyzed by lignin peroxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1990

The effect of manganese on lignin peroxidase activity was studied. The enzyme was produced with a new process using an air-lift-type reactor. The experiments were performed with veratryl alcohol and a dimeric lignin model compound. It was shown that when Mn(I1) . lactate complex was present the amount of veratraldehyde formed and the uptake of oxygen were significantly enhanced during the aerobic oxidation of veratryl alcohol. A similar effect can be obtained with superoxide dismutase. These results strongly suggest that the superoxide anion can occur during the reaction; its scavenging by Mn(I1) or superoxide dismutase generates H202. In contrast, no evidence for the formation of superoxide anion was found during oxidation of the lignin model, compound veratrylglycerol-/3-guaiacyl ether.

Purification and characterization of manganese peroxidase from wood-degrading fungus Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27

Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2004

A manganese peroxidase (MnP) from a wood-degrading fungus Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27 was purified to homogeneity by anionexchange chromatography followed by gel filtration. Molecular mass of the purified enzyme was determined to be about 42 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Spectrophotometric analysis of the enzyme revealed one Soret maximum at 407 nm, and two visible peaks at 502 and 644 nm, which are consistent with photometric spectra of other MnPs. Mass spectrometric analysis of the digested protein revealed that it had a very high homology to a unique peroxidase (a hybrid of MnP and lignin peroxidase) from Bjerkandera sp. B33/3. Bjerkandera MnP was able to oxidize veratryl alcohol, whereas T. rubrum LSK-27 MnP could not. T. rubrum LSK-27 MnP had the highest pI of 8.2 among MnPs reported so far. The enzyme was stable at rather high temperatures, and when compared with other MnPs, this MnP was more stable in the presence of high concentrations of H 2 O 2 .
