Title A unique Ni(2+) -dependent and methylglyoxal-inducible rice glyoxalase I possesses a single active site and functions in abiotic stress response.
Abstract:
Glyoxalase system constitutes the major pathway for detoxification of metabolically produced cytotoxin methylglyoxal (MG), into a non-toxic metabolite D-Lactate. glyoxalase I (GLY I) is an evolutionarily conserved metalloenzyme requiring divalent metal ions for its activity, Zn(2+) in case of eukaryotes, or Ni(2+) for enzymes of prokaryotic origin. Plant glyoxalase I proteins are part of a multi-member family, however not much is known about their physiological function, structure, and metal dependency. In this study, we report a unique glyoxalase I (OsGLYI-11.2) from rice which requires Ni(2+) for its activity. Its biochemical, structural and functional characterization revealed it to be a monomeric enzyme, possessing a single Ni(2+) coordination site despite containing two glyoxalase I domains. Requirement of Ni(2+) as a cofactor by an enzyme involved in cellular detoxification suggests an essential role for this otherwise toxic heavy metal in stress response. Intriguingly, the expression of OsGLYI-11.2 was found to be highly substrate-inducible suggesting an important mode of regulation of its cellular levels. Heterologous expression of OsGLYI-11.2 in E. coli and model plant tobacco resulted in improved adaptation to various abiotic stresses due to increased scavenging of MG, lower Na(+) /K(+) ratio and maintenance of reduced glutathione levels. Together, our results suggest interesting links between MG cellular levels, its detoxification by glyoxalase I, and Ni(2+) - the heavy metal cofactor of OsGLYI-11.2, vis-à-vis stress response and adaptation in plants.
