Fig. The spx gene was actually discovered as Suppressor of clpP and clpX mutations and it was shown that the absence of ClpXP leads to stabilization of Spx responsible for the pleiotropic phenotypes of clpXP mutants [149]. Members of the ACR2 family share a HC(X) 5 R motif with members of the superfamily of phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases. The second level is the post-translational control of Spx protein stability by proteolysis via the ClpXP proteases. Dissimilatory arsenate-respiring prokaryotes characterized at molecular level, Om Parkash Dhankher, ... Sharon Doty, in Plant Biotechnology and Agriculture, 2012. The mechanism of MgsR control resembles in part that of Spx and involves a positive autoregulatory loop to increase mgsR transcription, and post-translational control of MgsR stability via ClpXP and ClpCP proteolysis [157]. The intracellular arsenite serves as an inducer to bind the regulatory protein ArsR (encoded by arsR gene) leading to its conformational changes and removal of previously bound regulatory protein to the operator site of the ars operon (Figure 28–3). The structure of R773 and pI258 ArsC are shown identifying their secondary structural elements. strain PSR-1, a dissimilatory arsenate [As(V)]-reducing bacterium, can utilize As(V) as a terminal electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration. While Spx interacts with RNAP containing σA, an Spx paralogue MgsR was identified as member of the σB general stress regulon [156]. This arsenate reductase is encoded by arsC of the arsBHC operon. Several studies suggested the reduction of AsV to AsIII by endogenous arsenate reductases inside plant cells: genes encoding plant arsenate reductases have recently been isolated and characterized from Arabidopsis, rice, Holcus lanatus, and Pteris vittata (Dhankher et al., 2006; Bleeker et al., 2006; Ellis et al., 2006; Duan et al., 2007). Function i Reduces arsenate [As (V)] to arsenite [As (III)] using glutathione and glutaredoxin as sources of reducing equivalents. New Phytol. Also uses a c-type cytochrome or O2 as acceptors. The structure of these enzymes is remarkably similar to those of low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphate phosphatases [92] and shows a low level of phosphatase activity. However, they do clearly demonstrate that this dual function phosphatase/arsenate reductase plays a significant role in the physiological processes that affect arsenate metabolism in Arabidopsis. The YodB repressor is oxidized to intermolecular disulphides between C6 and one of the C-terminal Cys residues of the opposing subunits leading the spx, azoR1 and yodC derepression. Microbial arsenate respiration contributes to the mobilization of arsenic from the solid to the soluble phase in various locales worldwide. The circular form will have the least surface area for arsenic uptake and thus will exhibit less toxicity [99]. Recently, in the case of the diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC7120, two different types of arsenate reductases were characterized [96,97]. Figure 4. Recently, respiratory arsenate reductase has been identified from Alkaliphilus oremlandii through biochemical and Western blot analysis and confirmed by cloning and sequencing of the gene encoded for the structural subunit ArrA (Fisher et al., 2008). From the small subunit, the electrons are transferred to the inner membrane respiratory chain, and eventually to oxygen, the terminal electron acceptor. For the functionally related Arr respiratory arsenate reductase, the electrons are transferred in the opposite direction, from the respiratory electron transport chain to the enzyme small subunit and finally from the Mo(iv)-pterin cofactor to the substrate arsenate. No arsenate reductase homologue has been identified in the genome. Acinetobacter junii SeaH-As6s and Marinobacter sp. For the other two classes of structurally and evolutionarily unrelated arsenate reductases, the tripeptide glutathione and the small protein glutaredoxin function as thiol electron intermediates, in a manner similar to Cys82 and Cys89 of the thioredoxin-linked arsenate reductase. However, the detailed mechanism of MgsR interaction with the RNAP containing σB and activation of transcription remains to be elucidated. It has been reported that an enzyme from Bacillus selenitireducens (Afkar et al., 2003) was membrane associated, whereas an enzyme from Chrysiogenes arsenatis was found in periplasm and is different from the nonrespiratory arsenate reductases of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (Krafft and Macy, 1998). The arsenic tolerance mechanism is conferred by the ars operon, which is located either on plasmid or chromosome in different bacterial species. An ArsA dimer binds to ArsB to form an ATP-energised efflux system, which is more efficient than ArsB alone, and ArsD appears to act as a metallochaperone. Thus, B. subtilis has different Spx paralogues that may interact with RNAP holoenzymes containing different sigma factors. Occasionally two additional genes are found in ars operons of Gram-negative bacteria, so the gene order is arsRDABC. The systematic name of this enzyme class is arsenite:azurin oxidoreductase. However, three genes encoding putative components of a prokaryotic ATP-dependent arsenite efflux system (Rosen, 2002; Tripathi et al., 2007) are found: ARSA1 and ARSA2 share homologies with arsenite-translocating ATPase, whereas ARSB represents a putative arsenite permease (Table 10.2). Spx is transcriptionally regulated in response to disulphide stress provoked by diamide and NaOCl by the PerR and YodB repressors. (1) Prokaryotic ArsC from Gram-negative bacterium E. coli encoded by plasmid R773 [88], which uses grx and GSH as reductant. The ars resistance mechanism confers resistance to As3 +, As5 + and Sb3 + compounds. Arsenite is formed by reduction of arsenate, either excreted from the cell or methylated to form various methylated arsenicals mediated by ArsM (S-adenosylmethyltransferase) encoded by the arsM gene, which are further pumped out of the cell by an unidentified transporter. The arsenite can then be extruded by ArsB, an arsenite antiporter. Antimony compounds such as tartar emetic (antimony potassium tartrate) have been used in medicine to induce vomiting, to treat smallpox and skin diseases and as treatments for schistosomiasis and leishmaniasis. Gram-negative bacterial strains MIT-13 and SES-3 were capable of obtaining energy from arsenate respiration (Ahmann et al., 1994; Laverman et al., 1995) and classified as two species of Sufurospirillum based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization, designated as Sufurospirillum arsenophilum and Sufurospirillum barnesii with 97% sequence homology with each other and differing slightly in metabolism (Stolz et al., 1999). ArsD is thought to function as a polypeptide chaperone carrying the arsenite to the ArsA ATPase protein, functioning with two pairs of adjacent thiol residues, Cys12–Cys13 and Cys112–Cys113, which bind As(iii). Phylogenetic tree showing evolutionary relationships among selected ArsC thioredoxin-coupled arsenate reductases and paralogous low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase. 3B) over the entire concentration range examined. The Arabidopsis ACR2 gene complemented the function of arsenate reductase in E. coli strains deficient in arsenate reductase, ArsC. The catalytic cysteines at the active sites of either enzymes complexed with As(v) are also indicated. AsIII has been shown to enter bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells via aquaglyceroporins (Sanders et al., 1997; Wysocki et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2002), which belong to the major intrinsic protein (MIP) superfamily. However, in the case of Synechocystis PCC6803, a novel type of hybrid arsenate reductase related to thioredoxin-dependent arsenate reductases uses the GSH/glutaredoxin system for reduction [90]. Recently, the respiratory arsenate reductase was characterized from Shewanella sp. R773 ArsC is related to Spx of B. subtilis, a transcriptional repressor that interacts with the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase (RNAP) α-subunit and is essential for growth under disulfide stress. Sb(iii) can bind to ArsD and ArsA as alternatives to As(iii). The product of the arsC gene, arsenate reductase (ArsC), is required to efficiently catalyze the reduction of arsenate to arsenite prior to extrusion. In recent years, additional and totally different enzymes involved in arsenic resistance and redox chemistry have been isolated and their genetic basis studied. Figure 2. Once in the algal cell, arsenate does not induce phytochelatin synthesis (see section II.B.1, Kobayashi et al., 2006). The toxicity of arsenic depends on its oxidation state, while arsenite is 100 times more toxic than arsenate in most biological systems [98]. The structures of the oxidized and reduced forms of ArsC were solved. The two most common operons contain either five (arsRDABC) or three (arsRBC) genes. Arsenic enters the cell through cellular transport systems—the phosphate (arsenate) or aquaglyceroporins (arsenite) channels. Sequence analysis and biochemical studies of respiratory arsenate reductase from various sources revealed that it is a heterodimer α1β1 with a native molecular mass of ≈123–131 kDa and consists of larger subunits with molecular masses of ArrA ≈ 87–95 kDa, molybdenum-containing enzyme and smaller subunit ArsB ≈ 27–26 kDa, containing several Fe–S clusters (Krafft and Macy, 1998, Malasarn et al., 2008 Afkar et al., 2003; Sargent et al., 2002). However, very little information is available about regulatory genes and details of the mechanisms involved in the dissimilatory process. ArsA binds to ArsB as a dimer and functions as an ATP-energised effluxer adding efficiency to the arsenite efflux process. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Marine sediments and hydrothermal waters are rich in sulfur, where the reducing conditions and relatively high pH may favor the formation of thiomethylated arsenicals by anaerobic sedimentary bacteria. The reaction mechanism of arsenite oxidase. The initial rod shape was altered to oval and then to circular form with gradual increase in extracellular arsenic concentration. (2015). contains two systems for reducing As(V), one is similar to the well-conserved ars detoxification system of Escherichia coli plasmid R773, which is advantageous, but not required for respiratory As(V) reduction mediated by arr operon. (A) Respiratory arsenate reductase (Arr) is involved in the reduction of As(V). Antioxidant and protective functions can be attributed to the manganese-containing catalase YdbD, the thiol–disulphide oxidoreductase YkuV and paralogous short-chain oxidoreductases (ydaD, yhdF, yhxC and yhxD) that are postulated to function in NADPH production as an electron source for cellular Trx/TrxR reducing systems [156]. Inorganic arsenics such as arsenic trioxide (AS2O3), arsenic sulphide (As4S4) and arsenic trisulphide (As2S3) have been widely used up until the 20th century. Rather than reversing the reaction mechanism of arsenite oxidase, evolution modified an enzyme of the sulfur respiration pathway, the ancestor of the Psr/Phs, to create the arsenate reductase. The YjbH adaptor protein contains a His-Cys-rich N-terminal region that is oxidized by diamide resulting in loss of YjbH adaptor activity and Spx stabilization. It has been reported that ArrA could be the subunit that binds As(V) and reduces it to As(III), whereas ArrB serves as a channel for electrons stemming from c-type cytochromes in the respiratory chain (Macy et al., 2000). Arsenate reductase (ArsC) from Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pI258 plays a role in bacterial heavy metal resistance and catalyzes the reduction of arsenate to arsenite. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are arsenite, water, and oxidised azurin, whereas its 3 products are arsenate, reduced azurin, and hydrogen ion. This bacterial family of arsenate reductases is related to low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatases (LMW PTPase). The best characterized mechanism of arsenic detoxification in bacteria involves the reduction of arsenate to arsenite, mediated by arsenate reductase encoded by the arsC gene. Many microorganisms have developed mechanisms to detoxify arsenate using the ArsC-type arsenate reductase, and some even use arsenate as a terminal electron acceptor for respiration involving arsenate respiratory reductase (Arr). (2) The prokaryotic ArsC from Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus encoded by pI258 [76] and Bacillus subtilis use the cysteine thiol-coupling enzyme thioredoxin as the reductant and require the presence of thioredoxin reductase and NADPH to complete the catalytic cycle. Sarita Pandey, ... Lal Chand Rai, in Handbook of Arsenic Toxicology, 2015. For the Aso respiratory arsenite oxidase (Figure 4), the oxyanion substrate is thought to enter a shallow conical pit on the enzyme surface, directly contacting the embedded Mo(vi). 4-Hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arsenate_reductase_(azurin)&oldid=917335571, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 23 September 2019, at 11:03. In addition to resistance to inorganic arsenite and arsenate, there are now numerous genes conferring resistance to various organic arsenicals: such as arsP encoding the transporter ArsP for efflux of methylated arsenic species, and arsH encoding ArsH which oxidises the extremely toxic reduced methylated arsenic monomethylarsenous acid, MMA(III). indicates that arsenate reduction and subsequent methylation are crucial steps in the biotransformation of inorganic arsenic. aa–amino acid (modified from Saltikov and Newman, 2003; Silver and Phung, 2005). Similarly, in the case of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a eukaryote, a gene cluster, ACR1, ACR2, and ACR3, present on chromosome was shown to confer resistance to As(V) and As(III) [79]. Thus, B. subtilis employs PerR, OhrR and Spx as specific antioxidant control mechanisms to cope with ROS and MgsR and σB for protection against primary and secondary generated oxidative stress [157,160]. A second Si efflux carrier, Lsi2 (another rice NIP subfamily member) has been shown to be responsible for loading AsIII in the xylem, and a T-DNA insertion in Lsi2 locus resulted in almost 50% reduction in As accumulation in shoot (Ma et al., 2008). The second family includes the S. aureus plasmid pI258 ArsC and the B. subtilis chromosomal ArsC, both of which use thioredoxin (Trx) as reductant. The steps involved in the thioredoxin-linked arsenate reductase cycle are shown in Figure 3, as an example of how these enzymes work. Oxidation of arsenite to arsenate mediated by arsenite oxidase, encoded by aox/aos/aoi genes, was observed in bacteria and archaeans as the detoxification mechanism. Several studies support the contention that AsV, being a phosphate analog, is taken up in plants via phosphate uptake systems (Meharg and Macnair, 1992). Molecular organization of arrAB (periplasmic arsenate reductase) and arsDABC (cytoplasmic arsenate reductase) of Shewanella strain ANA-3 (from GenBank Accession no. Another important detoxification pathway in prokaryotes involves removal of As by converting inorganic As to volatile organic compounds such as trimethyl arsine through a series of methylation reactions catalyzed by S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferases (Qin et al., 2006). Marine bacteria have the ability to transform inorganic arsenic species to various methylated and/or complex organic forms of arsenic [47], and also have the capacity to decompose complex organoarsenicals into inorganic arsenic [75]. Moreover, several genes of the primary PerR-, OhrR- and Spx-controlled oxidative stress response (katA, mrgA, ohrA, spx) have paralogues within the σB regulon (katE, katX, ydbD, dps, ohrB, mgsR) conferring non-specific secondary oxidative stress resistance [22]. Marc Hanikenne, ... Patrice Hamel, in The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook, 2009. Thioredoxin reduces the Cys82–Cys89 disulfide regenerating reduced ArsC [92]. The N-terminus of ArrA was similar to a number of prokaryotic molybdenum-containing polypeptides (e.g. The best characterized mechanism of arsenic detoxification in bacteria involves the reduction of arsenate to arsenite, mediated by, Hughes, Beck, Chen, Lewis, & Thomas, 2011, Garelick, Jones, Dybowska, & Valsami-Jones, 2008. Phung, in Encyclopedia of Microbiology (Third Edition), 2009. At each methylation step, from inorganic arsenite to monomethyl-As, and subsequently to dimethyl-As and trimethyl-As, oxidation to As(v) occurs, and reduction to an As(iii) organoarsenical is required before the next methylation step. Alongside its minor role in transcription, ArsD has also recently been found to act as a metallochaperone for arsenite efflux via ArsAB. Arsenate is a notorious toxicant that is known to disrupt multiple biochemical pathways. It is also possible that at least one Chlamydomonas MRP (Table 10.2, section II.A.10.b) contributes to arsenite storage in the vacuole, as was shown for Ycf1 in S. cerevisiae (Ghosh et al., 1999). strain ANA-3 (Malasarn et al., 2008), which was initially identified in the same strain through mutagenesis studies (Saltikov and Newman, 2003). Apart from the operon-mediated detoxification mechanism, Bacillus sp. 13.13). Arsenate [As(V)] and arsenite [As(III)] represent the two biologically important species of arsenic, which are interconvertible depending on the redox status. Moreover, phenotype screening of 94 mutants in σB-controlled genes identified 62 mutants with increased sensitivity towards paraquat or peroxides [159]. EC 1.20.4.1, arsenate reductase (glutaredoxin)]. Rosen, in Encyclopedia of Microbiology (Third Edition), 2009. ArsC has the PTPase I fold typical for low molecular weight tyrosine phosphatases (LMW PTPases). The ArsB membrane efflux pump is specific for As(iii), arsenite (and also for closely related Sb(iii)), and therefore, As(v), arsenate, resistance requires conversion of As(v) to As(iii). In an arsenate reductase assay of E. coli arsenate reductase, rPvGRX5 replaced E. coli Grx, but about 10-fold less effectively than E. coli Grx2 (data not shown). The reaction cycle for thioredoxin-linked arsenate reductase with intermediates. The respiratory arsenate reductase, Arr, was established both biochemically and through gene knockout studies (5 ⇓ –7).
