タイトル Detoxification of phenanthrene in Arabidopsis thaliana involves a Dioxygenase For Auxin Oxidation 1 (AtDAO1).
ジャーナル J Biotechnol
Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination has a negative impact on ecosystems. PAHs are a large group of toxins with two or more benzene rings that are persistent in the environment. Some PAHs can be cytotoxic, teratogenic, and/or carcinogenic. In the bacterium Pseudomonas, PAHs can be modified by dioxygenases, which increase the reactivity of PAHs. We hypothesize that some plant dioxygenases are capable of PAH biodegradation. Herein, we investigate the involvement of Arabidopsis thaliana At1g14130 in the degradation of phenanthrene, our model PAH. The At1g14130 gene encodes Dioxygenase For Auxin Oxidation 1 (AtDAO1), an enzyme involved in the oxidative inactivation of the hormone auxin. Expression analysis using a β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter revealed that At1g14130 is prominently expressed in new leaves of plants exposed to media with phenanthrene. Analysis of the oxidative state of gain-of-function mutants showed elevated levels of H2O2 after phenanthrene treatments, probably due to an increase in the oxidation of phenanthrene by AtDAO1. Biochemical assays with purified AtDAO1 and phenanthrene suggest an enzymatic activity towards the PAH. Thus, data presented in this study support the hypothesis that an auxin dioxygenase, AtDAO1, from Arabidopsis thaliana contributes to the degradation of phenanthrene and that there is possible toxic metabolite accumulation after PAH exposure.
