1. TonB-Dependent Heme/Hemoglobin Utilization by Caulobacter crescentus HutA
Heloise Balhesteros, Yan Shipelskiy, Noah J Long, Aritri Majumdar, Benjamin B Katz, Naara M Santos, Laura Leaden, Salete M Newton, Marilis V Marques, Phillip E Klebba J Bacteriol. 2017 Feb 28;199(6):e00723-16. doi: 10.1128/JB.00723-16. Print 2017 Mar 15.
Siderophore nutrition tests with Caulobacter crescentus strain NA1000 revealed that it utilized a variety of ferric hydroxamate siderophores, including asperchromes, ferrichromes, ferrichrome A, malonichrome, and ferric aerobactin, as well as hemin and hemoglobin. C. crescentus did not transport ferrioxamine B or ferric catecholates. Because it did not use ferric enterobactin, the catecholate aposiderophore was an effective agent for iron deprivation. We determined the kinetics and thermodynamics of [59Fe]apoferrichrome and 59Fe-citrate binding and transport by NA1000. Its affinity and uptake rate for ferrichrome (equilibrium dissociation constant [Kd ], 1 nM; Michaelis-Menten constant [KM ], 0.1 nM; Vmax, 19 pMol/109 cells/min) were similar to those of Escherichia coli FhuA. Transport properties for 59Fe-citrate were similar to those of E. coli FecA (KM , 5.3 nM; Vmax, 29 pMol/109 cells/min). Bioinformatic analyses implicated Fur-regulated loci 00028, 00138, 02277, and 03023 as TonB-dependent transporters (TBDT) that participate in iron acquisition. We resolved TBDT with elevated expression under high- or low-iron conditions by SDS-PAGE of sodium sarcosinate cell envelope extracts, excised bands of interest, and analyzed them by mass spectrometry. These data identified five TBDT: three were overexpressed during iron deficiency (00028, 02277, and 03023), and 2 were overexpressed during iron repletion (00210 and 01196). CLUSTALW analyses revealed homology of putative TBDT 02277 to Escherichia coli FepA and BtuB. A Δ02277 mutant did not transport hemin or hemoglobin in nutrition tests, leading us to designate the 02277 structural gene as hutA (for heme/hemoglobin utilization).IMPORTANCE The physiological roles of the 62 putative TBDT of C. crescentus are mostly unknown, as are their evolutionary relationships to TBDT of other bacteria. We biochemically studied the iron uptake systems of C. crescentus, identified potential iron transporters, and clarified the phylogenetic relationships among its numerous TBDT. Our findings identified the first outer membrane protein involved in iron acquisition by C. crescentus, its heme/hemoglobin transporter (HutA).
2. Iron Uptake Oxidoreductase (IruO) Uses a Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide Semiquinone Intermediate for Iron-Siderophore Reduction
Marek J Kobylarz, Graham A Heieis, Slade A Loutet, Michael E P Murphy ACS Chem Biol. 2017 Jul 21;12(7):1778-1786. doi: 10.1021/acschembio.7b00203. Epub 2017 May 12.
Many pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus use iron-chelating siderophores to acquire iron. Iron uptake oxidoreductase (IruO), a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-containing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reductase from S. aureus, functions as a reductase for IsdG and IsdI, two paralogous heme degrading enzymes. Also, the gene encoding for IruO was shown to be required for growth of S. aureus on hydroxamate siderophores as a sole iron source. Here, we show that IruO binds the hydroxamate-type siderophores desferrioxamine B and ferrichrome A with low micromolar affinity and in the presence of NADPH, Fe(II) was released. Steady-state kinetics of Fe(II) release provides kcat/Km values in the range of 600 to 7000 M-1 s-1 for these siderophores supporting a role for IruO as a siderophore reductase in iron utilization. Crystal structures of IruO were solved in two distinct conformational states mediated by the formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond. A putative siderophore binding site was identified adjacent to the FAD cofactor. This site is partly occluded in the oxidized IruO structure consistent with this form being less active than reduced IruO. This reduction in activity could have a physiological role to limit iron release under oxidative stress conditions. Visible spectroscopy of anaerobically reduced IruO showed that the reaction proceeds by a single electron transfer mechanism through an FAD semiquinone intermediate. From the data, a model for single electron siderophore reduction by IruO using NADPH is described.
3. Ferrichrome, a fungal-type siderophore, confers high ammonium tolerance to fission yeast
Po-Chang Chiu, Yuri Nakamura, Shinichi Nishimura, Toshitsugu Tabuchi, Yoko Yashiroda, Go Hirai, Akihisa Matsuyama, Minoru Yoshida Sci Rep. 2022 Oct 27;12(1):17411. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-22108-0.
Microorganisms and plants produce siderophores, which function to transport environmental iron into cells as well as participate in cellular iron use and deposition. Their biological functions are diverse although their role in primary metabolism is poorly understood. Ferrichrome is a fungal-type siderophore synthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). Herein we show that ferrichrome induces adaptive growth of fission yeast on high ammonium media. Ammonium is a preferred nitrogen source as it suppresses uptake and catabolism of less preferred nitrogen sources such as leucine through a mechanism called nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR). Therefore, the growth of fission yeast mutant cells with leucine auxotrophy is suppressed in the presence of high concentrations of ammonium. This growth suppression was canceled by ferrichrome in a manner dependent on the amino acid transporter Cat1. Additionally, growth retardation of wild-type cells by excess ammonium was exacerbated by deleting the NRPS gene sib1, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of ferrichrome, suggesting that intrinsically produced ferrichrome functions in suppressing the metabolic action of ammonium. Furthermore, ferrichrome facilitated the growth of both wild-type and sib1-deficient cells under low glucose conditions. These results suggest that intracellular iron regulates primary metabolism, including NCR, which is mediated by siderophores.
