gamma-Glutamylputrescine synthetase in the putrescine utilization pathway of Escherichia coli K-12.
Kurihara S., Oda S., Tsuboi Y., Kim H.G., Oshida M., Kumagai H., Suzuki H.

Glutamate-putrescine ligase (gamma-glutamylputrescine synthetase, PuuA, EC 6.3.1.11) catalyzes the gamma-glutamylation of putrescine, the first step in a novel putrescine utilization pathway involving gamma-glutamylated intermediates, the Puu pathway, in Escherichia coli. In this report, the character and physiological importance of PuuA are described. Purified non-tagged PuuA catalyzed the ATP-dependent gamma-glutamylation of putrescine. The K(m) values for glutamate, ATP, and putrescine are 2.07, 2.35, and 44.6 mm, respectively. There are two putrescine utilization pathways in E. coli: the Puu pathway and the pathway without gamma-glutamylation. Gene deletion experiments of puuA, however, indicated that the Puu pathway was more critical in utilizing putrescine as a sole carbon or nitrogen source. The transcription of puuA was induced by putrescine and in a puuR-deleted strain. The amino acid sequences of PuuA and glutamine synthetase (GS) show high similarity. The molecular weights of the monomers of the two enzymes are quite similar, and PuuA exists as a dodecamer as does GS. Moreover the two amino acid residues of E. coli GS that are important for the metal-catalyzed oxidation of the enzyme molecule involved in protein turnover are conserved in PuuA, and it was experimentally shown that the corresponding amino acid residues in PuuA were involved in the metal-catalyzed oxidation similarly to GS. It is suggested that the intracellular concentration of putrescine is optimized by PuuA transcriptionally and posttranslationally and that excess putrescine is converted to a nutrient source by the Puu pathway. << Less

A Second Gamma-Glutamylpolyamine Synthetase, GlnA2, Is Involved in Polyamine Catabolism in Streptomyces coelicolor.

<i>Streptomyces coelicolor</i> is a soil bacterium living in a habitat with very changeable nutrient availability. This organism possesses a complex nitrogen metabolism and is able to utilize the polyamines putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, and spermine and the monoamine ethanolamine. We demonstrated that GlnA2 (SCO2241) facilitates <i>S. coelicolor</i> to survive under high toxic polyamine concentrations. GlnA2 is a gamma-glutamylpolyamine synthetase, an enzyme catalyzing the first step in polyamine catabolism. The role of GlnA2 was confirmed in phenotypical studies with a <i>glnA2</i> deletion mutant as well as in transcriptional and biochemical analyses. Among all GS-like enzymes in <i>S. coelicolor</i>, GlnA2 possesses the highest specificity towards short-chain polyamines (putrescine and cadaverine), while its functional homolog GlnA3 (SCO6962) prefers long-chain polyamines (spermidine and spermine) and GlnA4 (SCO1613) accepts only monoamines. The genome-wide RNAseq analysis in the presence of the polyamines putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, or spermine revealed indication of the occurrence of different routes for polyamine catabolism in <i>S. coelicolor</i> involving GlnA2 and GlnA3. Furthermore, GlnA2 and GlnA3 are differently regulated. From our results, we can propose a complemented model of polyamine catabolism in <i>S. coelicolor</i>, which involves the gamma-glutamylation pathway as well as other alternative utilization pathways. << Less

A novel bacterial putrescine utilization pathway was discovered. Seven genes, the functions of whose products were not known, are involved in this novel pathway. Five of them encode enzymes that catabolize putrescine; one encodes a putrescine importer, and the other encodes a transcriptional regulator. This novel pathway involves six sequential steps as follows: 1) import of putrescine; 2) ATP-dependent gamma-glutamylation of putrescine; 3) oxidization of gamma-glutamylputrescine; 4) dehydrogenation of gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde; 5) hydrolysis of the gamma-glutamyl linkage of gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyrate; and 6) transamination of gamma-aminobutyrate to form the final product of this pathway, succinate semialdehyde, which is the precursor of succinate. << Less
