Characterization of heme protein expressed by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria under low dissolved oxygen conditions.

Abstract:

:We have recently reported that expression of an unidentified heme protein is enhanced in a nitrifying activated sludge community under low (0.1 mg O2/L) dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions. A preliminary assessment suggested it may be a type of hemoglobin (Hb) or a lesser-known component of the energy-transducing pathways of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) (particularly an oxidase or peroxidase). Here, additional work was done to characterize this protein. Due to the unfeasibility of identifying the protein using gene-based methods, our approach was to carry out assays that target the activity and function of the protein, its location in the cell, and determination of the organisms that express it. Using CO-difference spectra, it was shown that the protein is expressed by AOB preferentially in the cytoplasm, while the pyridine hemochromogen method demonstrated that it has heme c as its prosthetic group. Peroxidase and oxidase assays were carried out on the soluble fraction of the low DO-grown cells; neither the peroxidase nor oxidase activities matched those of the CO-binding heme protein detected. Even though it is not possible to conclusively identify the protein detected as a Hb, all other known possibilities have been ruled out. Further work is needed to verify the identity of the heme protein as a Hb and to determine its type and biochemical role under low oxygen conditions.
