Characterization of the haloacid dehalogenase from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 and sequencing of the dhlB gene

Abstract: The haloacid dehalogenase of the 1,2-dichloroethane-utilizing bacterium Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ1O was purified from a mutant with an eightfold increase in expression of the enzyme. The mutant was obtained by selecting for enhanced resistance to monobromoacetate. The enzyme was purified through (NH4)2S04 fractionation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The Hydrolytic dehalogenases are key enzymes in the detoxification of aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons. They catalyze … Show more

“…The amino acid sequence is more than 40% identical to six other L-specific 2-haloacid dehalogenases from different sources (Kawasaki et al, 1994; Liu et al, 1994), but it shows no homology to the haloalkane dehalogenase from X . autotrophicus (Van der Ploeg et al, 1991). The enzyme shows maximum activity at pH 9.5.…”

“…autotrophicus belongs to the group of L-specific dehalogenases. The dhlB gene encoding for it was cloned and sequenced (Van der Ploeg et al, 1991).The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 253 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 27,558 Da. The amino acid sequence is more than 40% identical to six other L-specific 2-haloacid dehalogenases from different sources (Kawasaki et al, 1994; Liu et al, 1994), but it shows no homology to the haloalkane dehalogenase from X .…”

“…DhlB is somewhat larger, and the 21 extra residues form a two-helix excursion from the ␣/␤ core domain on the same side as the four-helix bundle. Together these helical domains provide a tight dimer interface and limit the substrate specificity of the X. autotrophicus enzyme to short substrates such as haloacetates and halopropionates (8,9).Comprehensive biochemical data have been obtained for the Pseudomonas enzyme (1, 10, 11).2 Asp 8 was identified as the nucleophile in the first step of the enzymatic reaction, the formation of a covalent enzyme-ester intermediate. ) that are involved in substrate binding and catalysis.…”

“…The HLDs from the bacteria Xanthobacter autotrophicus (DhlA) [3,4], Rhodococcus rhodochrous (DhaA) [5], Sphingomonas paucimobilis (LinB) [6,7], Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 (DbjA) [8,9], Mycobacterium tuberculosis (DmbC) [10] and Plesiocystis pacifica SIR-1 (DppA) [11] have been biochemically and structurally characterised and are two domain proteins. The core domain belongs to the a/b hydrolase protein fold family with the active site located on the interface of the core and the cap domain, the latter determining substrate specificity.…”
