Functional analysis of the agnH gene involved in nicotine-degradation pathways in Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain SCUEC1.

Abstract:

:Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain SCUEC1 is a nicotine-degrading bacterium, which has been recently isolated from the tobacco waste-contaminated field soil. However, the mechanism for nicotine degradation in this strain remains unclear. Here, we analyze the function and biological properties of the agnH gene in the strain SCUEC1. The overexpression of the AgnH protein was detected by SDS-PAGE analysis, and functional insight of the AgnH protein was carried out with monitoring the changes of maleic acid into fumaric acid by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Moreover, the effects of temperature, pH and metal ions on the enzymatic activities of the AgnH protein were also analyzed. The results demonstrated that the agnH gene was successfully ligated to the plasmid pET28a. The optimal condition for the enzymatic activities for the AgnH, approximately 28.0 kDa, was determined as 37 °C, pH 8.0 and 25 µM Mg2+. Conclusively, the agnH gene fulfils an important role in the conversion of maleic acid into fumaric acid involved in nicotine-degradation pathways in Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain SCUEC1.
