Abstract
A lysozyme-osmotic shock method is described for fractionation of Alcaligenes faecalis which uses glucose to adjust osmotic strength and multiple osmotic shocks. During phenylethylamine-dependent growth, aromatic amine dehydrogenase, azurin, and a single cytochrome c were localized in the periplasm. Their induction patterns are different from those for the related quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase and its associated redox proteins.

Abstract
Various monovalent cations influence the enzymatic activity and the spectroscopic properties of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH). Here, we report the structure determination of this tryptophan tryptophylquinone-containing enzyme from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 by high resolution x-ray crystallography (1.75 A). This first MADH crystal structure at low ionic strength is compared with the high resolution structure of the related MADH from Paracoccus denitrificans recently reported. We also describe the first structures (at 1.95 to 2.15 A resolution) of an MADH in the substrate-reduced form and in the presence of trimethylamine and of cesium, two competitive inhibitors. Polarized absorption microspectrophotometry was performed on single crystals under various redox, pH, and salt conditions. The results show that the enzyme is catalytically active in the crystal and that the cations cause the same spectral perturbations as are observed in solution. These studies lead us to propose a model for the entrance and binding of the substrate in the active site.

Abstract
The binding of monovalent cations to methylamine dehydrogenase in the semiquinone state (MADHsq) at a site close to the tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) active center is demonstrated in experiments which show that the radical EPR signal of MADHsq is considerably broadened in the presence of Cs+, NH4+, and, to a smaller extent, Na+. The cations also stabilize the semiquinone state, as is evident from the increase of the EPR intensity they induce. On the basis of the optical absorbance spectra, two slightly different forms of MADHsq can be discerned. One form, with the main band at 425 nm, is observed at low pH and in the presence of NH4+, whereas the other, with the main band at 429 nm, is observed at high pH and in the presence of Cs+ or Na+. Stopped-flow studies of the oxidation by amicyanin of MADHred via MADHsq to MADHox show a strong stimulation of the first step by monovalent cations. It is shown that it is primarily the actual electron transfer rate, rather than the affinity of MADHred for amicyanin, that is affected by cations. Values for the dissociation constants of the monovalent cations for MADHred, estimated from the kinetic experiments, are higher than those that were previously determined for MADHox, and can be deduced to be higher than those for MADHsq as well. The results are discussed within the context of the electron transfer theory.

Abstract
Aromatic amine dehydrogenase (AADH) and methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) are the only two enzymes known to use the cofactor tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ). Each catalyzes oxidative deamination of a distinct class of primary amines. A detailed comparison of their circular dichroic spectra indicates that both proteins share a similar fold with their TTQ cofactors residing in similar environments and that this may be a useful diagnostic probe for TTQ enzymes. Alcaligenes faecalis cells induced to express AADH also express a large amount of the blue copper protein, azurin. Oxidized azurin is rapidly reduced by a catalytic amount of AADH in the presence of the substrate, tyramine. Three A. faecalis cytochromes-c and three other cytochromes-c were tested for electron transfer activity with AADH. Azurin markedly facilitated electron transfer from AADH to each cytochrome. This suggests that AADH and azurin may form an electron transfer complex with a c-type cytochrome, analogous to the crystallographically determined MADH-amicyanin-cytochrome c-551i complex (Chen, L., Durley, R. C. E., Matthews, F. S., and Davidson, V. L. (1994) Science 264, 86-90). The similarities of MADH and AADH plus the demonstration of azurin and multiple cytochromes as functional electron-transfer partners suggest that both TTQ-bearing enzymes share common mechanisms for oxidative deamination and subsequent electron transfer.

Abstract
To elucidate the kinetic properties of the methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) redox chain of Thiobacillus versutus the reduction of cytochrome c-550 by MADH and amicyanin has been studied. Under steady state conditions, the rate constants of the reactions have been determined as a function of the ionic strength, both for wild type cytochrome c-550 and for mutants in which the conserved residue Lys14 has been replaced as follows: Lys14-->Gln (mutant [K14Q]cytochrome c-550) and Lys14-->Glu (mutant [K14E]cytochrome c-550). The second-order rate constant of the reduction of cytochrome c-550 by MADH shows a biphasic ionic-strength dependence. At low ionic strength the rate constant remains unchanged (wild type) or increases ([K14Q]cytochrome c-550) with increasing ionic strength, while at high salt concentrations the rate constant decreases monotonically as the ionic strength increases. It is suggested that conformational freedom exists in the association complex and that this is favourable for electron transfer. [K14Q]cytochrome c-550 and [K14E]cytochrome c-550 are reduced at rates 20-fold and 500-fold slower than wild-type cytochrome c-550 by MADH, due to a lower association constant. It is concluded that MADH possesses a negative patch with which cytochrome c-550 associates. Lys14 plays an important role in the formation of the reaction complex. The midpoint potentials of wild-type and mutant cytochrome c-550 have been determined by using cyclic voltammetry. [K14Q]cytochrome c-550 and [K14E]cytochrome c-550 show an increase in E0 of only 2 mV and 8 mV, respectively, compared to wild-type cytochrome c-550 (241 mV at pH 8.1). [K14Q]cytochrome c-550 and [K14E]cytochrome c-550 cytochrome c-550 are reduced by amicyanin at rates that are only slightly faster than for wild-type cytochrome c-550. The difference is partly attributable to the change in E0. High ionic strength results in a threefold increase in the rate in all three cases. These results indicate that charge interactions do not play a major role in the formation of the amicyanin/cytochrome c-550 reaction complex, suggesting an interaction at the hydrophobic patch of amicyanin. The reduction of cytochrome c-550 by MADH can be inhibited by Zn(2+)-substituted amicyanin. Ag(+)-amicyanin, however, has little effect on the reduction rate. These results suggest that MADH has a much higher affinity for Cu(2+)-amicyanin (substrate) than for Cu(+)-amicyanin (product). On the basis of these findings the roles of the components of the MADH redox chain are discussed.

Abstract
The N-terminal processing of MADH from the bacterium T. versutus and the N-terminal heterogeneity of the isolated alpha subunit of the alpha 2 beta 2 protein complex was demonstrated by a combination of Edman sequence analysis of an electroblotted band, in situ digested with pyroglutamate aminopeptidase, and accurate mass determination of the homogeneous subunit by the technique of electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. From this study, it appears that the corresponding gene of the alpha subunit contains 395 amino acids and that it is preceded by a leader sequence of 31 residues.

Abstract
The gene that codes for the alpha-subunit of methylamine dehydrogenase from Thiobacillus versutus, madA, was cloned and sequenced. It codes for a protein of 395 amino acids preceded by a leader sequence of 31 amino acids. The derived amino acid sequence was confirmed by partial amino acid sequencing. The start of the mature protein could not be determined by direct sequencing, since the N terminus appeared to be blocked. Instead, it was determined by electrospray mass spectrometry. Confirmation of the results was obtained by sequencing the N terminus after pyroglutamate aminopeptidase digestion. The sequence is homologous to the Paracoccus denitrificans nucleotide sequence. A second open reading frame, called open reading frame 3, is located immediately downstream of madA.

Abstract
The gene coding for cytochrome c550 from Thiobacillus versutus, cycA, has been cloned and sequenced. It codes for a protein of 134 amino acids plus a 19-amino-acid-long signal peptide. Both coding and noncoding DNA sequences of the clone are homologous to the Paracoccus denitrificans DNA sequence. An expression vector was constructed by cloning the cycA gene directly behind the lac promoter of pUC. The cycA gene was expressed in Escherichia coli under semianaerobic conditions, and mature holo-cytochrome c550 was isolated with the periplasmic soluble protein fraction. Under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, significantly less cytochrome c550 was produced. The heterologously expressed cytochrome c550 was isolated and purified to better than 95% purity and was compared with cytochrome c550 isolated and purified from T. versutus. No structural differences could be detected by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis UV-visible light spectroscopy, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, indicating that E. coli produces the cytochrome and attaches the heme correctly.

Abstract
The mau gene cluster from Paracoccus denitrificans was cloned. The regions of a cloned fragment carrying genes for the small and the large subunit of the methylamine dehydrogenase were identified and sequenced. Open reading frames for the MADH small subunit gene and the MADH large subunit gene were identified. Three other open reading frames coding polypeptides with unknown function were found in the sequence. The small subunit gene sequence data reveal that the MADH small subunit polypeptide from P. denitrificans has an unusual leader sequence and contains the tryptophan tryptophyl quinone cofactor. The MADH small subunit genes and the parts of the open reading frames found upstream of them in the genome of M. extorquens AM1 and P. denitrificans have considerable similarity. The sequence data have been used for refinement of the X-ray crystallographic structure of the MADH from P. denitrificans, and key conserved residues have been identified.

Abstract
The genes encoding amicyanin and the beta-subunit of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) from Thiobacillus versutus have been cloned and sequenced. The organization of these genes makes it likely that they are coordinately expressed and it supports earlier findings that the blue copper protein amicyanin is involved in electron transport from methylamine to oxygen. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the amicyanin-encoding gene is in agreement with the published protein sequence. The gene codes for a pre-protein with a 25-amino-acid-long signal peptide. The amicyanin gene could be expressed efficiently in Escherichia coli. The protein was extracted with the periplasmic fraction, indicating that pre-amicyanin is translocated across the inner membrane of E. coli. Sequence studies on the purified beta-subunit of MADH confirm the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding gene. The latter codes for a pre-protein with an unusually long (56 amino acids) leader peptide. The sequencing results strongly suggest that pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) or pro-PQQ is not the co-factor of MADH.

Abstract
The nearly complete assignment (pH 6.8; T 310 K) of the 1H-NMR spectrum of reduced amicyanin from Thiobacillus versutus is reported. Experimental evidence is presented, that the structure of the amicyanin contains two beta-sheets, a feature common to plastocyanins and azurins. The loops joining the beta-strands have also been identified. The loop F-G (Thr94-Phe98), together with the flanking residues Cys93 and Met99, comprises three of the four copper ligands and is short compared to similar loops in plastocyanin and azurin. His96 turns out to be the copper ligand that can be protonated. Amicyanin resembles plastocyanin in overall structure but differs from it on account of an N-terminal strand of 22 amino acids in front of strand A, shorter loops A-B, D-E and F-G and the absence of any alpha-helical segments.

Abstract
A model of tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ), recently proposed by McIntire et al. (Science (1991) 252, 817-824) to be the prosthetic group of the quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase, has been compared with electron density maps of this dehydrogenase from Thiobacillus versutus and Paracoccus denitrificans. The comparison shows that the TTQ model can be neatly accommodated, providing strong supportive evidence that TTQ is indeed the cofactor for this group of quinoproteins.

Abstract
The electrochemical response of methylamine dehydrogenase from bacterium W3A1 at edge-plane-oriented pyrolytic graphite (epg) and modified gold electrodes has been investigated. Quasi-reversible electron transfer has been observed. Variations in concentration of different cations and anions gave rise to both promotion and inhibition of the direct response. A catalytic response of the enzyme in the presence of methylamine has been observed at both an epg electrode and a 2,2'-dithiodiglycolic-acid-modified gold electrode surface, and the effects of various cations and anions on the catalytic peak current have been investigated. The spectroelectrochemical results obtained at an optically transparent thin-layer electrode, modified with 2,2'-dithiodiglycolic acid, are also reported. In the presence of 1,1'-dimethylferrocene-3-(1-ethanol-2-amine) (14.8 microM), the results reveal a midpoint potential of -148 mV for methylamine dehydrogenase from bacterium W3A1. This is in very close agreement to the value obtained in the cyclic voltammetric investigations of -140 mV.

Abstract
Methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH), an alpha 2 beta 2 enzyme from numerous methylotrophic soil bacteria, contains a novel quinonoid redox prosthetic group that is covalently bound to its small beta subunit through two amino acyl residues. A comparison of the amino acid sequence deduced from the gene sequence of the small subunit for the enzyme from Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 with the published amino acid sequence obtained by the Edman degradation method, allowed the identification of the amino acyl constituents of the cofactor as two tryptophyl residues. This information was crucial for interpreting 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral data collected for the semicarbazide- and carboxymethyl-derivatized bis(tripeptidyl)-cofactor of MADH from bacterium W3A1. The cofactor is composed of two cross-linked tryptophyl residues. Although there are many possible isomers, only one is consistent with all the data: The first tryptophyl residue in the peptide sequence exists as an indole-6,7-dione, and is attached at its 4 position to the 2 position of the second, otherwise unmodified, indole side group. Contrary to earlier reports, the cofactor of MADH is not 2,7,9-tricarboxypyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a derivative thereof, or pro-PQQ. This appears to be the only example of two cross-linked, modified amino acyl residues having a functional role in the active site of an enzyme, in the absence of other cofactors or metal ions.

Abstract
The isolation and purification of cytochrome c550 from the methylamine-oxidizing electron-transport chain in Thiobacillus versutus is reported. The cytochrome is a single-heme-containing type I cytochrome c with a relative molecular mass of 16 +/- 1 kDa, an isoelectric point of 4.6 +/- 0.1, a midpoint potential of 272 +/- 3 mV at pH less than 4 and 255 +/- 5 mV at pH = 7.0, and an axial coordination of the Fe by a methionine and a histidine. The midpoint potential decreases with increasing pH due to the deprotonation of a group tentatively identified as a propionate (pKa = 6.5 +/- 0.1 and 6.7 +/- 0.1 in the oxidized and reduced protein, respectively) and a change in the Fe coordination at pH greater than 10. The electron-self-exchange rate appears to depend strongly on the ionic strength of the solution and is relatively insensitive to changes in pH. At 313 K and pH 5.2 the electron-exchange rate amounts to 0.7 x 10(2) M-1 s-1 and 5.3 x 10(2) M-1 s-1 at I = 40 mM and I = 200 mM, respectively. Amino acid composition and molar absorption coefficients at various wavelengths are reported. Resonances of heme protons and the epsilon H3 group of the ligand methionine of the Fe have been identified in the 1H-NMR spectrum of the reduced as well as the oxidized cytochrome.

Abstract
Trimethylamine, a common substrate for methylotrophic growth, specifically inhibited methylamine-dependent respiration by Paracoccus denitrificans and bacterium W3A1. These effects were caused by the specific inhibition by trimethylamine of the periplasmic quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase. Steady-state kinetic analysis of the effect of trimethylamine on methylamine oxidation by methylamine dehydrogenase indicated that the inhibition was a mixed type. Apparent Ki values for trimethylamine of 1.1 mM and 4.7 mM, respectively, were obtained for the P. denitrificans and bacterium W3A1 enzymes. Methylamine-dependent oxygen consumption by each bacterium was inhibited either by preincubation of cells with trimethylamine prior to the addition of substrate or by addition of trimethylamine to actively respiring cells. Formate-dependent respiration was not inhibited by trimethylamine. A scheme is proposed which describes a regulatory role for trimethylamine in the metabolism and dissimilation of methylamine by methylotrophic bacteria.

Abstract
Homogeneous methylamine dehydrogenase (primary-amine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.99.3, MADH) from the bacterium Thiobacillus versutus was treated with the inhibitor phenylhydrazine (PH). Derivatization of the cofactor in MADH took place in a fast reaction to give compound I. A different product, compound II, was formed in a slow reaction at high O2 concentrations. The compounds I and II could be removed from the protein by proteolysis with pronase and purified to homogeneity. Products showing identical absorption spectra and chromatographic behaviour were isolated from the reaction mixture after incubating pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) with PH. Upon dissolving in dimethyl sulphoxide, both the enzyme-derived as well as the model-system-derived compounds I and II were nearly quantitatively transformed into PQQ. The conclusion is, therefore, that MADH from T. versutus contains covalently bound PQQ, removable from the protein with pronase, and not a structural analogue of this cofactor without the carboxylic acid groups, as was recently proposed for MADH from Bacterium W3A1 [(1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 141, 562-568]. The properties of compounds I and II suggest that they are the 'azo adduct' and the 'hydrazone adduct' of PH and PQQ at the C(5)-position, respectively. The finding that the reaction of a hydrazine with PQQ can lead to two different products, in enzymes as well as in a model system, has important implications for the interpretation of recent comparative studies aimed at detection of PQQ in amine oxidoreductases with Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
Methanol dehydrogenase was purified from the obligate methanotroph, Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, in two steps from disrupted biomass by aqueous two-phase partition and ion-exchange chromatography. Copartitioning of a cytochrome c was dependent upon the pH at which aqueous partition was carried out. The native enzyme has a Mr of 120,000, as determined by gel filtration chromatography, and consists of two identical subunits. The purified enzyme contained four electrophoretically distinct isoenzymes, with pI values of 6.3, 6.58, 6.63 and 6.88. The native enzyme has been crystallised in a form suitable for high-resolution X-ray crystallographic studies. The crystals diffract to better than 0.19 nm spacing and are relatively stable to irradiation with X-rays. The space group is P6(1)22 (or P6(5)22) with cell dimensions a = b = 10.21 nm, c = 29.32 nm and the crystal probably contains a single monomer in the asymmetric unit.

Abstract
Methylamine dehydrogenase from Paracoccus denitrificans was purified to homogeneity in two steps from the periplasmic fraction of methylamine-grown cells. The enzyme exhibited a pI value of 4.3 and was composed of two 46,700-dalton subunits and two 15,500-dalton subunits. Each small subunit possessed a covalently bound pyrrolo-quinoline quinone prosthetic group. The amino acid compositions of the large and small subunits are very similar to those of other methylamine dehydrogenases which have been isolated from taxonomically different sources. The enzyme was able to catalyze the oxidation of a wide variety of primary aliphatic amines and diamines, but it did not react with secondary, tertiary, or aromatic amines. The enzyme exhibited optimal activity at pH 7.5, with Km values of 12.5 microM for methylamine and 156 microM for phenazine ethosulfate and a Vmax of 16.9 mumol/min per mg of protein. No loss of enzyme activity was observed after incubation for 48 h at pH values ranging from 3.0 to 10.5, and the enzyme was very stable to thermal denaturation. Enzyme activity and immunological detection of each subunit were only observed with cells which had been grown on methylamine as a carbon source.

Abstract
Diamine oxidase was prepared from pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings by a new purification procedure involving two h.p.l.c. steps. We studied the optical and electrochemical properties of the homogeneous enzyme and also analysed the hydrolysed protein by several methods. The data presented here suggest that the carbonyl cofactor of diamine oxidase is firmly bound pyrroloquinoline quinone.
