摘要:

对固氮菌(Ensifer meliloti 1021)降解环境污染物苯甲腈途径及其相关酶进行了基因克隆和表达研究。高效液相色谱法(HPLC)分析显示En.meliloti 1021静息细胞可将苯甲腈降解为苯甲酰胺和苯甲酸。En.meliloti 1021全基因组中没有腈水解酶(nitrilase)基因,但有1个腈水合酶(nitrile hydratase)基因和12个酰胺酶(amidase)基因,因而其降解苯甲腈生成苯甲酸是经腈水合酶/酰胺酶途径。PCR扩增En.meliloti 1021的腈水合酶基因并在Escherichia coli Rosetta(DE3)中成功表达。腈水合酶过表达的E.coli可在5 min内降解90%的浓度为97 mmol·L-1的苯甲腈,10 min基本检测不到苯甲腈,产生66.9 mmol·L-1苯甲酰胺。对12个酰胺酶进行了系统发育树分析,发现有4个酰胺酶与Genbank数据库中的苯甲酰胺水解酶(benzamide amidohydrolase)有较高的同源性。对这4个酰胺酶基因进行克隆表达以及酶活检测,发现只有登录号为CAC47672.1的酰胺酶有苯甲酰胺酶活性,可将苯甲酰胺水解为苯甲酸。该酰胺酶由434个氨基酸组成,分子量为47 kDa,等电点5.37。

Abstract:

The degradation pathway of the environmental pollutant benzonitrile by the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Ensifer meliloti 1021 was investigated. And the genes encoding the relevant metabolic enzymes were cloned and over-expressed. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that En. meliloti 1021 resting cells degraded benzonitrile to benzamide and benzoic acid. A whole-genome analysis indicated that En. meliloti 1021 lacks nitrilase gene, but contains one nitrile hydratase (NHase) gene and 12 amidase genes. Therefore, the benzonitrile degradation pathway appears to be mediated by the NHase-amidase system. The NHase gene was amplified by PCR and over-expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3)cells.The resulting cells degraded 97 mmol·L-1 benzonitrile in 5 min (90% degradation rate). At 10 min, benzonitrile was undetectable, while 66.9 mmol·L-1 benzamide was present. A phylogenetic tree including the En.meliloti 1021 amidase genes and three benzamide amidohydrolase genes indicated that four amidase genes clustered with the three benzamide amidohydrolase genes. Gene cloning and over-expression experiments proved that an amidase (Genbank accession number CAC47672.1)exhibits the benzamidase activity responsible for converting benzamide to benzoic acid. Benzamidase comprises 434 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 47 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.37. The results of this study have a certain theoretical value and may be useful for eliminating benzonitrile from the environment.
