mheI


This part is a functional gene encoding a Carbendazim (Methyl-1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate, or MBC) pesticide hydrolyzing esterase.


Biology

mheI encodes MBC-hydrolyzing esterase (MHE) that degrades MBC pesticide. Degradation of MBC is achieved by hydrolyzing MBC to 2-aminobenzimidazole (2-AB), which is then converted to benzimidazole or 2-hydroxybenzimidazole (2-HB). The conversion of 2-AB was inhibited by NH4NO3. The benzene ring of 2-HB was further opened through meta catechol cleavage. MHE is responsible for carrying out the first step detoxification (MBC to 2-AB), without the need of any cofactor. MHE is a soluble serine hydrolase of 242 amino acid residues and has a molecular size of 25-27 kDa. MBC hydrolase gene (mheI) is derived from carbendazim-degrading strain Mycobacterium sp. SD-4 and is a genomic DNA gene sequence. mheI gene is also evolutionary conserved in many other bacteria strains, such as Nocardioides sp. SG-4G, and Rhodococcus erythropolis.


Usage

mheI sequence is 729bp in length. Fig 1 shows PCR amplification product of mheI coding region. In the current project, mheI gene was expressed in a light-repressed system (LightOFF), and was induced in darkness to produce MHE. Enzymatic studies of MHE using carbendazim as a substrate. Fig 2 showed that MHE expressed from lightOFF system in darkness-induced cells was able to hydrolyze carbendazim, while the controls, including the non-induced, heat-inactivated MHE, and lightOFF vector, did not possess carbendazim degradation ability. One unit of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1μmol of MBC to 2-AB at 30℃ within 1 min.
