Purification and characterization of the esterases involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus parasiticus.
Kusumoto K., Hsieh D.P.
The esterases from the cell-free extracts (CFEs) of Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC15517, an aflatoxin-producing strain, catalyzing the hydrolytic conversion of versiconal hemiacetal acetate (VHA) to versiconal was biochemically studied.

The esterases from the cell-free extracts (CFEs) of Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC15517, an aflatoxin-producing strain, catalyzing the hydrolytic conversion of versiconal hemiacetal acetate (VHA) to versiconal was biochemically studied. The specific activity of the enzymes increased 2.5-fold during incubation of mycelia through 40-55 h. No metal ions were required for enzyme stability, but EDTA at 1 mM and dithiothreitol at 0.5-5 mM increased its stability. Three peaks of VHA esterase activity were resolved when the proteins in the CFEs prepared from the mycelia of different ages were separated by anion-exchange column chromatography, suggesting that at least three VHA esterases were present in the eluate of this purification step. One of these esterases extracted from the mycelia of a 55-h culture was partially purified in five steps by means of preparative chromatography and fast protein liquid chromatography. The partially purified enzyme when reacted with [14C]diisopropylfluorophosphate followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gave a single radiolabelled band, which corresponded to a protein of 32 kDa. The molecular mass of the partially purified VHA esterase determined with gel filtration was around 60 kDa. The results suggested that the enzyme consists of two isomeric subunits. << Less

The Aspergillus parasiticus estA-encoded esterase converts versiconal hemiacetal acetate to versiconal and versiconol acetate to versiconol in aflatoxin biosynthesis.
Chang P.K., Yabe K., Yu J.
In aflatoxin biosynthesis, the pathway for the conversion of 1-hydroxyversicolorone to versiconal hemiacetal acetate (VHA) to versiconal (VHOH) is part of a metabolic grid. In the grid, the steps from VHA to VHOH and from versiconol acetate (VOAc) to versiconol (VOH) may be catalyzed by the same e ... >> More
In aflatoxin biosynthesis, the pathway for the conversion of 1-hydroxyversicolorone to versiconal hemiacetal acetate (VHA) to versiconal (VHOH) is part of a metabolic grid. In the grid, the steps from VHA to VHOH and from versiconol acetate (VOAc) to versiconol (VOH) may be catalyzed by the same esterase. Several esterase activities are associated with the conversion of VHA to VHOH, but only one esterase gene (estA) is present in the complete aflatoxin gene cluster of Aspergillus parasiticus. We deleted the estA gene from A. parasiticus SRRC 2043, an O-methylsterigmatocystin (OMST)-accumulating strain. The estA-deleted mutants were pigmented and accumulated mainly VHA and versicolorin A (VA). A small amount of VOAc and other downstream aflatoxin intermediates, including VHOH, versicolorin B, and OMST, also were accumulated. In contrast, a VA-accumulating mutant, NIAH-9, accumulated VA exclusively and neither VHA nor VOAc were produced. Addition of the esterase inhibitor dichlorvos (dimethyl 2,2-dichlorovinylphosphate) to the transformation recipient strain RHN1, an estA-deleted mutant, or NIAH-9 resulted in the accumulation of only VHA and VOAc. In in vitro enzyme assays, the levels of the esterase activities catalyzing the conversion of VHA to VHOH in the cell extracts of two estA-deleted mutants were decreased to approximately 10% of that seen with RHN1. Similar decreases in the esterase activities catalyzing the conversion of VOAc to VOH were also obtained. Thus, the estA-encoded esterase catalyzes the conversion of both VHA to VHOH and VOAc to VOH during aflatoxin biosynthesis. << Less
