The obligately anaerobic sulfite-reducing bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia is a common human pathobiont inhabiting the distal intestinal tract. It has a unique ability to utilize a diverse range of food- and host-derived sulfonates to generate sulfite as a terminal electron acceptor (TEA) for anaerobic respiration, converting the sulfonate sulfur to H<sub>2</sub>S, implicated in inflammatory conditions and colon cancer. The biochemical pathways involved in the metabolism of the C2 sulfonates isethionate and taurine by B. wadsworthia were recently reported. However, its mechanism for metabolizing sulfoacetate, another prevalent C2 sulfonate, remained unknown. Here, we report bioinformatics investigations and in vitro biochemical assays that uncover the molecular basis for the utilization of sulfoacetate as a source of TEA (STEA) for B. wadsworthia, involving conversion to sulfoacetyl-CoA by an ADP-forming sulfoacetate-CoA ligase (SauCD), and stepwise reduction to isethionate by NAD(P)H-dependent enzymes sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (SauS) and sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (TauF). Isethionate is then cleaved by the O<sub>2</sub>-sensitive isethionate sulfolyase (IseG), releasing sulfite for dissimilatory reduction to H<sub>2</sub>S. Sulfoacetate in different environments originates from anthropogenic sources such as detergents, and natural sources such as bacterial metabolism of the highly abundant organosulfonates sulfoquinovose and taurine. Identification of enzymes for anaerobic degradation of this relatively inert and electron-deficient C2 sulfonate provides further insights into sulfur recycling in the anaerobic biosphere, including the human gut microbiome. << Less

Sulfoacetate is degraded via a novel pathway involving sulfoacetyl-CoA and sulfoacetaldehyde in Cupriavidus necator H16.

Bacterial degradation of sulfoacetate, a widespread natural product, proceeds via sulfoacetaldehyde and requires a considerable initial energy input. Whereas the fate of sulfoacetaldehyde in Cupriavidus necator (Ralstonia eutropha) H16 is known, the pathway from sulfoacetate to sulfoacetaldehyde is not. The genome sequence of the organism enabled us to hypothesize that the inducible pathway, which initiates sau (sulfoacetate utilization), involved a four-gene cluster (sauRSTU; H16_A2746 to H16_A2749). The sauR gene, divergently orientated to the other three genes, probably encodes the transcriptional regulator of the presumed sauSTU operon, which is subject to inducible transcription. SauU was tentatively identified as a transporter of the major facilitator superfamily, and SauT was deduced to be a sulfoacetate-CoA ligase. SauT was a labile protein, but it could be separated and shown to generate AMP and an unknown, labile CoA-derivative from sulfoacetate, CoA, and ATP. This unknown compound, analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS, had a relative molecular mass of 889.7, which identified it as protonated sulfoacetyl-CoA (calculated 889.6). SauS was deduced to be sulfoacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating). The enzyme was purified 175-fold to homogeneity and characterized. Peptide mass fingerprinting confirmed the sauS locus (H16_A2747). SauS converted sulfoacetyl-CoA and NADPH to sulfoacetaldehyde, CoA, and NADP(+), thus confirming the hypothesis. << Less
