Degradation of polyphosphates by polyphosphate kinases from Ruegeria pomeroyi

Abstract: Polyphosphate kinases 2 (PPK2) are key enzymes for polyphosphate utilisation in bacteria. The genome of Ruegeria pomeroyi, a marine α-proteobacterium, includes three Pseudomonas aeruginosa PPK2 homologs. We expressed these homologs in Escherichia coli as soluble proteins, purified the protein products and compared their metal, pH and nucleotide preferences. The optimal pH was 8.0 for SPO1727 and 9.0 for SPO1256. The SPO0224 gene product had two pH optima at eight and ten. The SPO0224 protein showed little depe… Show more

“…It is affiliated within the marine Roseobacter clade, demonstrating its seawater habitat (Sonnenschein et al ., 2017; Kim et al ., 2019; Kitamura et al ., 2019). Furthermore, it was shown to utilize proteins and degrade triester compounds in aquatic environments and could produce secondary metabolites such as antibiotics (Porsby et al ., 2008; Achbergerova and Nahalka, 2014; Yamaguchi et al ., 2016). Thus, the digestive enzymes produced by Vibrio and Ruegeria in SW and SFW may indicate a higher metabolic rate in high salinity environments, and their growth and survival may require particular molecules in the seawater.…”

“…Ruegeria and Shimia are both members of the Roseobacter clade, with essential metabolic capabilities, and are involved in protein utilization 38 . Ruegeria also have high phosphodiesterase and phosphomonoesterase activities that contribute to the degradation of phosphate triester compounds in aquatic environments 39,40 . Mameliella play important roles in the degradation of aromatic compounds 41,42 and can accumulate beneficial poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules in cells 43 .…”

“…RpPPK2-3 uses polyphosphate (PolyP) as an economic donor to convert nucleoside diphosphates (NDPs) to NTPs. [16][17][18] We here evaluate the efficiency of the enzyme for ATP and UTP regeneration as well as the combination of UDP-sugar and HA synthesis through analysis with multiplexed capillary electrophoreses (MP-CE).…”
