ABSTRACTThe increasing production of synthetic and natural poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) rubber leads to huge challenges in waste management. Only a few bacteria are known to degrade rubber, and little is known about the mechanism of microbial rubber degradation. The genome ofGordonia polyisoprenivoransstrain VH2, which is one of the most effective rubber-degrading bacteria, was sequenced and annotated to elucidate the degradation pathway and other features of this actinomycete. The genome consists of a circular chromosome of 5,669,805 bp and a circular plasmid of 174,494 bp with average GC contents of 67.0% and 65.7%, respectively. It contains 5,110 putative protein-coding sequences, including many candidate genes responsible for rubber degradation and other biotechnically relevant pathways. Furthermore, we detected two homologues of a latex-clearing protein, which is supposed to be a key enzyme in rubber degradation. The deletion of these two genes for the first time revealed clear evidence that latex-clearing protein is essential for the microbial utilization of rubber. Based on the genome sequence, we predict a pathway for the microbial degradation of rubber which is supported by previous and current data on transposon mutagenesis, deletion mutants, applied comparative genomics, and literature search.

ABSTRACT A cAMP receptor protein (CRPVH2) was detected as a global regulator in Gordonia polyisoprenivorans VH2 and was proposed to participate in the network regulating poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) degradation as a novel key regulator. CRPVH2 shares a sequence identity of 79% with GlxR, a well-studied global regulator of Corynebacterium glutamicum. Furthermore, CRPVH2 and GlxR have a common oligomerization state and similar binding motifs, and thus most likely have similar functions as global regulators. Size exclusion chromatography of purified CRPVH2 confirmed the existence as a homodimer with a native molecular weight of 44.1 kDa in the presence of cAMP. CRPVH2 bound to the TGTGAN6TCACT motif within the 131-bp intergenic region of divergently oriented lcp1VH2 and lcpRVH2, encoding a latex clearing protein and its putative repressor, respectively. DNase I footprinting assays revealed the exact operator size of CRPVH2 in the intergenic region (25 bp), which partly overlapped with the proposed promoters of lcpRVH2 and lcp1VH2. Our findings indicate that CRPVH2 represses the expression of lcpRVH2 while simultaneously directly or indirectly activating the expression of lcp1VH2 by binding the competing promoter regions. Furthermore, binding of CRPVH2 to upstream regions of additional putative enzymes of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) degradation was verified in vitro. In silico analyses predicted 206 CRPVH2 binding sites comprising 244 genes associated with several functional categories, including carbon and peptide metabolism, stress response, etc. The gene expression regulation of several subordinated regulators substantiated the function of CRPVH2 as a global regulator. Moreover, we anticipate that the novel lcpR regulation mechanism by CRPs is widespread in other rubber-degrading actinomycetes. IMPORTANCE In order to develop efficient microbial recycling strategies for rubber waste materials, it is required that we understand the degradation pathway of the polymer and how it is regulated. However, only little is known about the transcriptional regulation of the rubber degradation pathway, which seems to be upregulated in the presence of the polymer. We identified a novel key regulator of rubber degradation (CRPVH2) that regulates several parts of the pathway in the potent rubber-degrader G. polyisoprenivorans VH2. Furthermore, we provide evidence for a widespread involvement of CRP regulators in the degradation of rubber in various other rubber-degrading actinomycetes. Thus, these novel insights into the regulation of rubber degradation are essential for developing efficient microbial degradation strategies for rubber waste materials by this group of actinomycetes.

ABSTRACT Comamonas testosteroni TA441 degrades steroids via aromatization of the A ring, followed by degradation of 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid, mainly by β-oxidation. In this study, we revealed that 7β,9α-dihydroxy-17-oxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostanoic acid-coenzyme A (CoA) ester is dehydrogenated by (3S)-3-hydroxylacyl CoA-dehydrogenase, encoded by scdE (ORF27), and then the resultant 9α-hydroxy-7,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid-CoA ester is converted by 3-ketoacyl-CoA transferase, encoded by scdF (ORF23). With these results, the whole cycle of β-oxidation on the side chain at C-8 of 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid is clarified; 9-hydroxy-17-oxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid-CoA ester is dehydrogenated at C-6 by ScdC1C2, followed by hydration by ScdD. 7β,9α-Dihydroxy-17-oxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostanoic acid-CoA ester then is dehydrogenated by ScdE to be converted to 9α-hydroxy-17-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,10,19-octanorandrostan-7-oic acid-CoA ester and acetyl-CoA by ScdF. ScdF is an ortholog of FadA6 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, which was reported as a 3-ketoacyl-CoA transferase involved in C ring cleavage. We also obtained results suggesting that ScdF is also involved in C ring cleavage, but further investigation is required for confirmation. ORF25 and ORF26, located between scdF and scdE, encode enzymes belonging to the amidase superfamily. Disrupting either ORF25 or ORF26 did not affect steroid degradation. Among the bacteria having gene clusters similar to those of tesB to tesR, some have both ORF25- and ORF26-like proteins or only an ORF26-like protein, but others do not have either ORF25- or ORF26-like proteins. ORF25 and ORF26 are not crucial for steroid degradation, yet they might provide clues to elucidate the evolution of bacterial steroid degradation clusters. IMPORTANCE Studies on bacterial steroid degradation were initiated more than 50 years ago primarily to obtain materials for steroid drugs. Steroid-degrading bacteria are globally distributed, and the role of bacterial steroid degradation in the environment as well as in relation to human health is attracting attention. The overall aerobic degradation of the four basic steroidal rings has been proposed; however, there is still much to be revealed to understand the complete degradation pathway. This study aims to uncover the whole steroid degradation process in Comamonas testosteroni TA441 as a model of steroid-degrading bacteria. C. testosteroni is one of the most studied representative steroid-degrading bacteria and is suitable for exploring the degradation pathway, because the involvement of degradation-related genes can be determined by gene disruption. Here, we elucidated the entire β-oxidation cycle of the cleaved B ring. This cycle is essential for the following C and D ring cleavage.
