Saturation mutagenesis of 2,4-DNT dioxygenase ofBurkholderia sp. strain DNT for enhanced dinitrotoluene degradation

Abstract: 2,4-Dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) and 2,6-DNT are priority pollutants, and 2,4-DNT dioxygenase of Burkholderia sp. strain DNT (DDO) catalyzes the initial oxidation of 2,4-DNT to form 4-methyl-5-nitrocatechol and nitrite but has significantly less activity on other dinitrotoluenes and nitrotoluenes (NT). Hence, oxidation of 2,3-DNT, 2,4-DNT, 2,5-DNT, 2,6-DNT, 2NT, and 4NT were enhanced here by performing saturation mutagenesis on codon I204 of the alpha subunit (DntAc) of DDO and by using a membrane agar plate assay… Show more

“…Interestingly, DNTDOs do not have an asparagine at position 258 (Table 1). They are able to oxidize the aromatic rings of dinitrotoluenes with the release of nitrite but do not catalyze efficient oxidation of the aromatic rings of mononitrotoluenes or nitrobenzene (22,43). Consistent with this information, the N258V substitution in NBDO had a major effect on mononitrotoluene and nitrobenzene oxidation (Table 2 and Fig.…”

“…Recombinant E. coli carrying wild-type NBDO was 8-and 14-fold faster at 26DNT oxidation than recombinant strains expressing DNTDO from either Burkholderia cepacia R34 or Burkholderia sp. strain DNT, respectively (22). Recombinant E. coli expressing NBDO-F293Q formed nitrite from 26DNT 12 to 38 times faster than E. coli strains expressing mutant forms of NDO U2 (F350T and F350T/G407S) or DNTDO DNT (I204L and I204Y), which were generated by saturation mutagenesis (15,22).…”

“…The dark-brown color arises from the intracellular dihydroxylated product (in this case, hydroquinone) (Fig. 1), which auto-oxidizes to quinones upon secretion (17). DNA sequencing indicated there were two amino acid codon changes, M22L and L380I, in dntB.…”

“…This new variant, M22L/L380I, not only exhibits a wider range of oxygenation capabilities, it also maintains the original activity with small improvements for 4M5NC (1.4-fold) and 4NC (1.6-fold) degradation (Table 2). Our previous work using saturation mutagenesis had already enhanced 2,4-DNT dioxygenase activity (the first step in the 2,4-DNT degradation pathway) to create the DntAc variant I204L of strain DNT; this evolved enzyme degrades 2,4-DNT to 4M5NC twofold faster than wild-type 2,4-DNT dioxygenase, as well as having novel activity on 2,3-DNT and 2,5-DNT (17). Burkholderia sp.…”

“…S2 in the supplemental material). Substitutions at the corresponding residue are known to affect the specificity of related enzymes, including naphthalene, toluene, and 2,4-dinitrotoluene dioxygenases (43)(44)(45). In NBDO, G204 interacts with the methyl group of 3NT when it is bound at the active site of the enzyme (42).…”
