Tóm tắt

2-(2′-Hydroxyphenyl)benzene sulfinate (HPBSi) desulfinase (TdsB), which catalyzes the final step of desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT), was purified from a thermophilic DBT- and benzothiophene (BT)-desulfurizing bacterium: Paenibacillus sp. strain A11-2. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was 31 kDa and 39 kDa by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, respectively, suggesting a monomeric structure. The optimal temperature and pH for the reaction involving TdsB was 55°C and the enzyme was more resistant to heat treatment than DszB, a counterpart purified from Rhodococcus erythropolis. The optimum pH for TdsB activity was pH 8. TdsB converted HPBSi to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) and sulfite stoichiometrically. The K m and k cat values for HPBSi were 0.33 mM and 0.32 s−1, respectively. TdsB was inactivated by SH reagents such as p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and 5,5′-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid, but was not inhibited by chelating reagents such as EDTA and o-phenanthroline. TdsB was also inhibited by o-hydroxystyrene, the final desulfurized product of BT. However, 2-HBP and its derivatives showed only a weak inhibitory effect. TdsB desulfurized 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)ethen-1-sulfinate to yield o-hydroxystyrene, but DszB could not. A site-directed mutagenesis study revealed the cysteine residue at position 17 to be essential to the catalytic activity of TdsB.
