        재조합균주 E. coli CNU312가 생산하는 Catechol 2,3-Dioxygenase의 정제 및 특성

        임재윤,최경호,최병돈 한국미생물학회 2000 미생물학회지 Vol.36 No.1

        Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase was purified from recombinant strain E. coli CNU312 carrying the tomB gene which was cloned from toluene-degrading Burkholderia cepacia G4. The purification of this enzyme was performed by acetone precipitation, Sephadex G-75 chromatography, electrophoresis and electro-elution. The molecular weight of native enzyme was about 140.4 kDa and its subunit was estimated to be 35 kDa by SDS-PAGE. It means that this enzyme consists of four identical subunits. This enzyme was specifically active to catechol, and$K_(m)$ value and $V_(max)$value of this enzyme were 372.6 $\mu$M and 39.27 U/mg. This enzyme was weakly active to 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, and 4-chlorocatechol, but rarely active to 2,3-DHBP. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme were pH 8.0 and $40^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was inhibited by $Co^(2+)$, $Mn^(2+)$, $Zn^(2+)$, $Fe^(2+)$, $Fe^(3+)$, and $Cu^(2+)$ ions, and was inactivated by adding the reagents such as N-bromosuccinimide, and $\rho$-diazobenzene sulfonic acid. The activity of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase was not stabilized by 10% concentration of organic solvents such as acetone, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, and acetic acid, and by reducing agents such as 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and ascorbic acid. The enzyme was inactivated by the oxidizing agent $H_(2)$$O_(2)$, and by chelators such as EDTA, and ο-phenanthroline. Toluene, phenyl 등의 분해균주인 Burkholderia cepacia G4로부터 tomB 유전자를 클로닝하여 얻은 재조합 균주 E. coli CNU312로부터 catechol 2,3-dioxygenase를 정제하여 효소학적 특성을 조사하였다. Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase는 native 분자량이 약 140.4 kDa이었으며 4개의 동일한 35 kDa subunit로 구성된 homotetramer로 생각된다. Catechol의 $K_(m)$값과 $V_(max)$값은 372.6 $\mu$M과 39.27 U/mg이었으며, 1.56 mM 이상의 기질 농도에서는 활성이 감소되었다. 효소 활성의 최적 pH는 8.0이었으며, pH 7.0-8.0 범위에서 안정하였다. 최적 활성온도는 $40^{\circ}C$였으며, $60^{\circ}C$이상에서 완전히 활성을 상실하였다. 또한 $Fe^(2+)$, $Fe^(3+)$ 를 비롯한 대부분의 금속 이온에 의해 활성이 감소되었으며, $Mg^(2+)$, $K^(+)$에는 영향을 받지 않았다. 효소 활성부위를 알아보기 위해 화학변형제를 처리한 결과, tryptophan과 histidine이 효소 활성부위에 존재하는 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 10%의 유기용매에 안정성을 보이지 않았으며, $H_(2)$$O_(2)$, EDTA, ο-phenanthroline에도 활성이 감소되었다. 또한 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, 그리고 ascorbic acid와 같은 환원제에 대해서도 안정성을 보이지 않았다. 이 효소는 catechol에 대해 높은 기질 특이성을 보였으며, 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, 그리고 4-chlorocatechol에 대해 약간의 활성을 보였다. 그러나 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl에 대해서는 거의 활성을 보이지 않았다.

        황선영,송승열,오계헌 한국미생물학회 2003 미생물학회지 Vol.39 No.1

        단일 탄소원과 질소원 및 에너지원으로 aniline을 이용하는 Delftia sp. JK-2에서 분리 정제한 catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C2,3O)의 특성과 N-말단 아미노산 및 DNA 서열을 분석하였다. C2,3O의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 aniline에서 배양한 Delftia sp. JK-2를 초음파 분쇄기로 파쇄하였으며, ammonium sulfate precipitation과 DEAE-sepharose로 정제하였다. 정제된 C2,3O의 고유활성(specific activity)은 약4.72 unit/mg이었으며, C2,3O는 catechol과4-methylcatechol 대해서 효소활성을 나타내었다. C2,3O는$30^{\circ}C$와pH 8.0에서 최적 활성을 나타내는 것으로 조사되었으며, $Ag^{+}$, $Hg^{+}$,그리고 $Cu^{2+}$는 Deftia sp. JK-2의 C2,3O 활성을 억제하였다. SDS-PAGE에 의해 측정 된C2,3O의 분자량은 약 35 KDa이었으며, N-말단 아미노산 서열을 분석한 결과, $^{1}MGVMRIG-HASLKVMDMDA- AVRHYENV^{26}$로 확인되었다. 이 N-말단 아미노산 서열은 Pseudomonas sp. AW-2와 Coma-monas sp. Js765의 C2,30와 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 얻어진 결과를 토대로 primer를 제작하여 polymerase chain reaction (PCR)을 실시하였다. PCR을 통해 얻어진 Delftia sp. JK-2의 C2,30유전자 DNA서열을 분석하여 상동성 조사를 하였다. DNA서열의 상동성 조사는 유추되는 아미노산 서 열로 바꾸어서 실시하였으며,그 결과 Deftia JK-2의 C2,3O는Pseudomonas sp. AW-2의 C2,3O(100%)와 Coma-monas sp. JS76S의 C2,3O(97%)에서 높은 상동성 이 확인되었다. The aim of this work was to investigate the characterization and sequence of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase isolated from Delfia sp. JK-2, which could utilize aniline as sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source. In initial experiments, several characteristics of C2,3O separated with ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-sepharose were investigated. Specific activity of C2,3O was approximately 4.72 unit/mg. C2,3O demonstrated its enzyme activity to other substrates, catechol and 4-methylcatechol. The optimum temperature of C2,3O was $$Cu^{2+}$^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH was approximately 8. Metal ions such as $Ag^{+}$, $Hg^{+}$, and $Cu^{2+}$ showed inhibitory effect on the activity of C2,3O. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to approximately 35 kDa by SDS-PAGE. N-terminal amino acid sequence of C2,3O was analyzed as $^{1}MGVMRIG-HASLKVMDMDA- AVRHYENV^{26}$, and exhibited high sequence homology with that of C2,30 from Pseudomonas sp. AW-2, Comamonas sp. JS765, Comamonas testosteroni and Burkholderia sp. RPO07. PCR product was amplified with the primers derived from N-terminal amino acid sequence. In this work, we found that the amino acid sequence of Delftia sp. JK-2 showed high sequence homology of C2,3O from Pseudomonas sp. AW-2 (100%) and Comamonas sp. JS765 (97%).

        주정수,윤경하,Joo Jung-Soo,Yoon Kyung-Ha 한국미생물학회 2004 미생물학회지 Vol.40 No.4

        Quinoline (2,3-benzopyridine)을 유일한 탄소원과 질소원, 그리고 에너지원으로 이용하는Pseudomonas sp. NEQ-1을 실험 균주로 사용하였으며, 균주로부터 catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C1,2O)를 유도하기 위하여 탄소원으로 benzoate를사 용하였다. C1,2O의 효소학적 특징을 조사하기 위하여 benzoate에서 배양한 Pseudomonas sp. NFQ-1을 초음파 분쇄기로 파쇄하고, ammonium sulfate침전과 gel permeation chromatography및 Source 15Q의 과정을 실시하여 C1,2O를 분리 및 정제하였다. 정제된 C1,2O의 특이활성(specific activity)은 14.21 unit/mg으로 나타났으며, SDS-PAGE에 의해 조사된 C1,2O의 분자량은 약 33 kDa이었다. Cl,2O는 catechol과 4-methylcatechol 및 3-methylcatechol에 대해서 효소활성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. C1,2O의 Km은 38.54 ${\mu}M$로 측정되었고, Vmax는 $25.10\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}$으로 나타났다. C1,2O는 $30^{\circ}C$와 pH 8.5에서 최적활성을 나타내는 것으로 조사되었으며, $Ag^+,\;Hg^+,\;Ca^{2+}$,그리고 $Cu^{2+}$는 C1,2O의 활성을 억제하였다. 분석되어진 N-말단 아미노산 서열은 ^1TVKISQSASIQKFFEEA^{17}$이었으며, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01과 $82\%$로 가장 높은 유사성을 보였고 Pseudomonas arvilla C-1와는 $71\%,$ Pseudomonas putida KT2440과는 $59\%,$ 그리고 Pseudomonas sp. CA10과는 $53\%$의 상동성이 각각 존재하는 것으로 확인하였다. Our previous research has demonstrated that the bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. NFQ-l capable of utilizing quin­oline (2,3-benzopyridine) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy was isolated and characterized [Yoon et ai. (2003) Kor. J. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 18(3):174-179]. In this study, we have found that Pseudomonas sp. NFQ-l could degrade quinoline as well as benzoate, and extended this work to characterize the catechol 1,2­dioxygenase (C1,2O) purified from the bacterium cultured in benzoate media. Initially, C1,2O has been purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel permeation chromatography, and Source 15Q. After Source 15Q, puri­fication fold was increased to approximately 14.21 unit/mg. Molecular weight of C1,2O was about 33 kDa. Physicochemical characteristics (e.g., substrate specificity, Km, Vmax, pH, temperature and effect of inhibitors) of purified C1,2O were examined. C1,2O demonstrated the activity for catechol, 4-methylcatechol and 3-meth­ylcatechol as a substrate, respectively. The Km and Vmax value of C1,2O for catechol was 38.54 ${\mu}M$ and $25.10\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}.$ The optimal temperature of C1,2O was $30^{\circ}C$ and the optimal pH was approximately 8.5. Metal ions such as $Ag^+,\;Hg^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ show the inhibitory effect on the activity of C1,2O. N-terminal amino sequence of C1,2O was analyzed as ^1TVKISQSASIQKFFEEA^{17}.$ In this work, we found that the amino acid sequence of NFQ-l showed the sequence homology of 82, 71, 59 and $53\%$ compared with C1,2O from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA0l, Pseudomonas arvilla C-1., P. putida KT2440 and Pseudomonas sp. CA10, respectively.

      • Caffeic acid phenethyl ester activation of Nrf2 pathway is enhanced under oxidative state: Structural analysis and potential as a pathologically targeted therapeutic agent in treatment of colonic inflammation

        Kim, Hyunjeong,Kim, Wooseong,Yum, Soohwan,Hong, Sungchae,Oh, Jeong-Eun,Lee, Ji-Woo,Kwak, Mi-Kyoung,Park, Eun Ji,Na, Dong Hee,Jung, Yunjin Elsevier 2013 FREE RADICAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE Vol.65 No.-

        <P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a polyphenolic natural product that possesses numerous biological activities including anti-inflammatory effects. CAPE-mediated nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45 (NF-E2)-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation is likely responsible for some of its biological effects. CAPE was chemically modified to yield CAPE analogues that were subjected to experiments examining cellular Nrf2 activity. CAPE and the CAPE analogue with a catechol moiety, but not the other analogues, activated the Nrf2 pathway. In addition, only biotin-labeled CAPE analogues with the catechol moiety precipitated Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1) when incubated with cell lysates and streptavidin agarose beads. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) oxidation of the catechol moiety in CAPE produced an oxidized, electrophilic form of CAPE (Oxi-CAPE) and greatly enhanced the ability of CAPE to activate Nrf2 and to bind to Keap1. Rectal administration of CAPE ameliorated 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced rat colitis and activated the Nrf2 pathway in the inflamed colon, and incubation of CAPE in the lumen of the inflamed distal colon generated Oxi-CAPE. However, these biological effects and chemical change of CAPE were not observed in the normal colon. Our data suggest that CAPE requires the catechol moiety for the oxidation-enhanced activation of the Nrf2 pathway and has potential as a pathologically targeted Nrf2-activating agent that is exclusively activated in pathological states with oxidative stress such as colonic inflammation.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> The catechol moiety in caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is required for CAPE activation of Nrf2. </LI> <LI> Oxidized CAPE (most likely an electrophilic <I>o</I>-quinone form) is responsible for the biological activity of CAPE. </LI> <LI> CAPE ameliorates experimental rat colitis and generates the oxidized form of CAPE in the inflamed colonic tissues. </LI> <LI> CAPE activates the Nrf2 pathway in the inflamed colonic tissues but not in the normal colonic tissues. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

      • Characterization of an Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida SU10

        Ha, You Mee,Min, Kyung Hee,Jung, Young Hee 숙명여자대학교 자연과학연구소 1998 자연과학논문집 Vol.- No.9

        Pseudomonas putida SUl0의 4-methylcatechol 2,3-dioxygenase의 정제를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE 5PW, superdex S-200, Resource-Q의 chromatog chromatography를 통하여 실시하였다. Gel filtration 에 의한 분자량을 약 130 kDa이며 SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis에 의한 subunit의 분자량은 34 kDa이므로 이 효소는 4개의 동일한 subunit로 되어 있음을 확이하였다. 이 효소의 N-terminal amino acid 서열을 결정한 결과 다음 extradiol dioxygenases와 높은 동질성을 보여주었다. Catechol과 methyl로 치환된 catechol에 대한 활성을 조사한 결과 catechol이나 3-methylcatechol보다 4-methylcatechol에 대하여 높게 나타내었다. 이들 기질에 대한 Km 값은 3.5-5.07μM 이다. A catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) was purified to apparent homogeneity from Pseudomonas putida SU1O by a purification procedure consisting of ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatographies on DEAE 5PW, Superdex S-200, and Resource-Q. Gel filtration indicates a molecular mass under nondenaturing conditions of about 130 kDa. The enzyme has a subunit 34 kDa by SDS/ polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These results suggest that the native enzyme was composed of four identical subunits. The N-terminal amino acid sequence (30 residues) of the enzyme has been determined and exhibits high identify with other extradiol dioxygenases. The reactivity of this enzyme towards catechol and methyl-substituted catechols is somewhat different from that seen for other catechol 2,3-dioxygenases, with 4-methylcatechol cleaved at a higher rate than catechol or 3-methylcatechol. Km values for these substrates with this enzyme are around 3.5-5.7μM.

        Amperometric Detection of Some Catechol Derivatives and 0-aminophenol Derivative with Laccase lmmobilized Electrode: Effect of Substrate Structure

        De Quan,신운섭 한국전기화학회 2004 한국전기화학회지 Vol.7 No.2

        DeniLiteTM laccase immobilized Pt electrode was used for amperometric detection of some catechol derivatives and o-aminophenol (OAP) derivative by means of substrate recycling. In case of catechol derivatives, the obtained sensitivities are 85, 79 and 57 nA/M with linear ranges of 0.6~30, 0.6~30 and 1~25 M and detection limits (S/N=3) of 0.2, 0.2 and 0.3 M for 3,4-dihydroxycinnaminic acid (3,4-DHCA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (3,4-DHPAA), respectively. In case of OAP derivative, the obtained sensitivity is 237 nA/M with linear range of 0.2~15 M and detection limit of 70 nM for 2-amino-4-chlorophenol (2-A-4-CP). The response time (t90%) is about 2 seconds for each substrate and the long-term stability is around 40~50 days for catechol derivatives and 30 days for 2-A-4-CP with retaining 80% of initial activity. The optimal pHs of the sensor for these substrates are in the range of 4.5~5.0, which indicates that stability of the enzymatically oxidized product plays a very important role in substrate recycling. The different sensitivity of the sensor for each substrate can be explained by the electronic effect of the substituent on the enzymatically oxidized form.

      • Photocatalytic effect of from titanium oxide coated surface by catechol conjugated PEG

        김성민,박성영 한국공업화학회 2015 한국공업화학회 연구논문 초록집 Vol.2015 No.0

        The photocatalytic characteristics of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles facilitate the functionalization of coating material for photo-catalysis substrate. We report on the development of a new photoactive material via TiO2 modified 2-chloro-3``,4``-dihydroxyacetophenone (CCDP) quaternized poly(ethylene glycol)-g-[poly(dimethyl amino methacrylate)] [PEG-q-CCDP]. This system can also assemble with single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) or various substrate owing to excess catechol contents functionalized polymer [PEG-q-CCDP]. Varying deposition of TiO2 and TiO2 with substrate has demonstrated the photocatalysis effect in response to UV and visible light, respectively. The morphology and robustness of TiO2/PEG-q-CCDP and TiO2/PEG-q-CCDP with substrate was verified by contact angle, XPS, raman spectra, and SEM measurements. The concept proved in this work is transferable to a wide range of other inorganic compounds on versatile coated substrates.

        A Newly Synthesized Flavone from Luteolin Escapes from COMT-Catalyzed Methylation and Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation in RAW264.7 Macrophages via JNK, p38 and NF-κB Signaling Pathways

        ( Lin Ye ),( Yang Xin ),( Zhi-yuan Wu ),( Hai-jian Sun ),( De-jian Huang ),( Zhi-qin Sun ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2022 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.32 No.1

        Luteolin is a common dietary flavone possessing potent anti-inflammatory activities. However, when administrated in vivo, luteolin becomes methylated by catechol-O-methyltransferases (COMT) owing to the catechol ring in the chemical structure, which largely diminishes its anti-inflammatory effect. In this study, we made a modification on luteolin, named LUA, which was generated by the chemical reaction between luteolin and 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH). Without a catechol ring in the chemical structure, this new flavone could escape from the COMT-catalyzed methylation, thus affording the potential to exert its functions in the original form when administrated in the organism. Moreover, an LPS-stimulated RAW cell model was applied to detect the anti-inflammatory properties. LUA showed much more superior inhibitory effect on LPS-induced production of NO than diosmetin (a major methylated form of luteolin) and significantly suppressed upregulation of iNOS and COX-2 in macrophages. LUA treatment dramatically reduced LPS-stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and IFN-β. Furthermore, LUA significantly reduced the phosphorylation of JNK and p38 without affecting that of ERK. LUA also inhibited the activation of NF-κB through suppression of p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation.
