RoxB

Rubber cleavage enzyme, the rubber oxygenase RoxBXsp (RoxB of Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y)

Usage and Biology

RoxB (Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y) is distantly related to RoxAs and resembles RoxAs with respect to molecular mass (70.3 kDa for mature protein) and cofactor content (2 c-type hemes). However, RoxB differs from all currently known RoxAs in having a distinctive product spectrum of C20, C25, C30, and higher oligo-isoprenoids that has been observed only for Lcps so far.

Attempts to express RoxB in E.coli were not successful yet[1]. We therefore integrated RoxB under the control of an l-rhamnose-inducible promoter into the genome of a ΔroxA background of Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y. And the clonies grew on opaque polyisoprene latex overlay (LOV) agar that had been supplemented with 0.1%. After a week, the agar plates were stained with fuchsin reagent, large and intensively stained pink-blue zones appeared around RoxB-expressing colonies(Fig.1A). It is clear that RoxB has a more effective enzymatic activity than RoxA, when fuchsin solution was added to cell-free culture supernatants of RoxA- or RoxB-overexpressing strains that had been allowed to react with added polyisoprene latex for 2 h(Fig.1B).

Purified RoxB, Lcp-K30, or RoxA were added to polyisoprene latex in an OXY-4 miniapparatus at 30°C. The concentration of dissolved oxygen was monitored over time (A). The blank corresponds to assay buffer without enzymes. As shown in Figure.2A, the presence of RoxB provoked a strong decrease of the dissolved oxygen concentration at room temperature (23°C), which indicates a high rubber oxygenase activity.
And the products were solvent extracted and analyzed by HPLC (Figure2.B). A mixture of C20, C25, and higher oligo-isoprenoids with terminal aldehyde and keto groups were identified in the oxidized product of RoxB, which is in contrast to RoxA. Therefore, RoxB was proposed to be the first member of a third class of rubber oxygenases (RoxB type) that combines properties of both previously characterized classes of rubber oxygenases (RoxAs and Lcps).
