| 英文摘要 | 4-Nitrophenol, a priority pollutant, is degraded by Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria via 1,2,4-benzenetriol (BT) and hydroquinone (HQ), respectively. All enzymes involved in the two pathways have been functionally identified. So far, all Gramnegative 4-nitrophenol utilizers are from the genera Pseudomonas and Burkholderia. But it remains a mystery why pnpG, an apparently superfluous BT 1,2-dioxygenase-encoding gene, always coexists in the catabolic cluster (pnpABCDEF) encoding 4-nitrophenol degradation via HQ. Here, the physiological role of pnpG in Burkholderia sp. strain SJ98 was investigated. Deletion and complementation experiments established that pnpG is essential for strain SJ98 growing on 4-nitrocatechol rather than 4-nitrophenol. During 4-nitrophenol degradation by strain SJ98 and its two variants (pnpG deletion and complementation strains), 1,4-benzoquinone and HQ were detected, but neither 4-nitrocatechol nor BT was observed. When the above-mentioned three strains (the wild type and complementation strains with 2,2'-dipyridyl) were incubated with 4-nitrocatechol, BT was the only intermediate detected. The results established the physiological role of pnpG that encodes BT degradation in vivo. Biotransformation analyses showed that the pnpA-deleted strain was unable to degrade both 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitrocatechol. Thus, the previously characterized 4-nitrophenol monooxygenase PnpA(SJ98) is also essential for the conversion of 4-nitrocatechol to BT. Among 775 available complete genomes for Pseudomonas and Burkhoideria, as many as 89 genomes were found to contain the putative pnpBCDEFG genes. The paucity of pnpA (3 in 775 genomes) implies that the extension of BT and HQ pathways enabling the degradation of 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitrocatechol is rarer, more recent, and likely due to the release of xenobiotic nitroaromatic compounds. IMPORTANCE An apparently superfluous gene (pnpG) encoding BT 1,2-dioxygenase is always found in the catabolic clusters involved in 4-nitrophenol degradation via HQ by Gram-negative bacteria. Our experiments reveal that pnpG is not essential for 4-nitrophenol degradation in Burkholderia sp. strain SJ98 but instead enables its degradation of 4-nitrocatechol via BT. The presence of pnpG genes broadens the range of growth substrates to include 4-nitrocatechol or BT, intermediates from the microbial degradation of many aromatic compounds in natural ecosystems. In addition, the existence of pnpCDEFG in 11.6% of the above-mentioned two genera suggests that the ability to degrade BT and HQ simultaneously is ancient. The extension of BT and HQ pathways including 4-nitrophenol degradation seems to be an adaptive evolution for responding to synthetic nitroaromatic compounds entering the environment since the industrial revolution. |
