Molecular characterization of mimosinase and cystathionine beta-lyase in the Mimosoideae subfamily member Mimosa pudica.
Oogai S., Fukuta M., Watanabe K., Inafuku M., Oku H.
Mimosinase degrades the non-protein amino acid mimosine and is thought to have evolved from cystathionine β-lyase (CBL) via gene duplication. However, no study has, to date, compared the molecular characteristics of mimosinase and CBL. We therefore cloned mimosinase and CBL from the Mimosoideae su ... >> More
Mimosinase degrades the non-protein amino acid mimosine and is thought to have evolved from cystathionine β-lyase (CBL) via gene duplication. However, no study has, to date, compared the molecular characteristics of mimosinase and CBL. We therefore cloned mimosinase and CBL from the Mimosoideae subfamily member Mimosa pudica (Mp) and explored the molecular relationship between mimosinase and CBL for the first time. The recombinant Mp mimosinase degraded both mimosine and cystathionine with a much higher turnover number (k<sub>cat</sub>) for mimosine compared with cystathionine, and Mp CBL utilized only cystathionine as a substrate. The critical residues implicated in the substrate binding of Arabidopsis thaliana CBL (Tyr-127, Arg-129, Tyr-181, and Arg-440) were highly conserved in both Mp mimosinase and CBL. However, homology modeling and molecular simulation of these enzymes predicted variations in the residues that interact with substrates. A mutation experiment on Mp mimosinase revealed that the disruption of a disulfide bond in the vicinity of the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate domain increased the enzyme's preference toward cystathionine. Treatment of Mp mimosinase with a disulfide-cleavage agent also decreased mimosinase activity. Furthermore, mutation near the conserved binding residue altered the substrate preference between mimosine and cystathionine. Molecular dynamics simulations of Mp mimosinase suggested a closer coordination of the residues that interact with mimosine at the active site compared with cystathionine, indicating a more compact pocket size for mimosine degradation. This study thus may provide new insights into the molecular diversification of CBL, a C-S lyase, into the C-N lyase mimosinase in the Mimosoideae subfamily. << Less

Leucaena leucocephala growing in the tropics and subtropics serves as potential forage for livestock because its foliage is rich in protein, fiber, and minerals. However, its use for livestock feed has been hindered by toxic nonprotein amino acid mimosine. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to reduce or eliminate mimosine from foliage. A previous study found that the fermentation of L. leucocephala foliage reduced the mimosine content and prompted the authors to isolate potent mimosine degrading microorganisms and characterize the mimosinase for the complete elimination of mimosine in the L. leucocephala foliage. The soil screening of the L. leucocephala tree surroundings led to the isolation of Arthrobacter sp. Ryudai-S1, which can degrade and assimilate mimosine as a nitrogen and carbon source. Mimosinase in this strain was found to be thermostable and showed strong activity. Docking model's inspection and the interaction energy calculation between mimosine-pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) complex and the active site of this enzyme identified 11 important amino acid residues that stabilized the binding. Of these amino acid residues, mutation experiment suggested that Tyr-263' and Phe-34 stabilizes the substrate binding and play a critical role in guiding the substrate to proper positions to accomplish high catalytic efficacy and selectivity. These observations suggest that Arthrobacter sp. Ryudai-S1 could be potentially useful for the development of L. leucocephala feed with reduced mimosine content. << Less

A carbon-nitrogen lyase from Leucaena leucocephala catalyzes the first step of mimosine degradation.

The tree legume Leucaena leucocephala contains a large amount of a toxic nonprotein aromatic amino acid, mimosine, and also an enzyme, mimosinase, for mimosine degradation. In this study, we isolated a 1,520-bp complementary DNA (cDNA) for mimosinase from L. leucocephala and characterized the encoded enzyme for mimosine-degrading activity. The deduced amino acid sequence of the coding region of the cDNA was predicted to have a chloroplast transit peptide. The nucleotide sequence, excluding the sequence for the chloroplast transit peptide, was codon optimized and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme was used in mimosine degradation assays, and the chromatogram of the major product was found to be identical to that of 3-hydroxy-4-pyridone (3H4P), which was further verified by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. The enzyme activity requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate but not α-keto acid; therefore, the enzyme is not an aminotransferase. In addition to 3H4P, we also identified pyruvate and ammonia as other degradation products. The dependence of the enzyme on pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and the production of 3H4P with the release of ammonia indicate that it is a carbon-nitrogen lyase. It was found to be highly efficient and specific in catalyzing mimosine degradation, with apparent Km and Vmax values of 1.16×10(-4) m and 5.05×10(-5) mol s(-1) mg(-1), respectively. The presence of other aromatic amino acids, including l-tyrosine, l-phenylalanine, and l-tryptophan, in the reaction did not show any competitive inhibition. The isolation of the mimosinase cDNA and the biochemical characterization of the recombinant enzyme will be useful in developing transgenic L. leucocephala with reduced mimosine content in the future. << Less
