- W4200089351 abstract "Accumulation of formaldehyde, a highly reactive molecule, in the cell is toxic, and requires detoxification for the organism's survival. Mycothiol-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase or S-nitrosomycothiol reductase (MscR) from Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was previously known for detoxifying formaldehyde and protecting the cell against nitrosative stress. We here show that M. smegmatis MscR exhibits a mycothiol-independent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) activity in vitro. Presence of zinc in the reaction enhances MscR activity, thus making it a zinc-dependent FDH. Interestingly, MscR utilizes only formaldehyde and no other primary aldehydes as its substrate in vitro, and M. smegmatis lacking mscR (ΔmscR) shows sensitivity exclusively toward formaldehyde. Bioinformatics analysis of MscRs from various bacteria reveals 10 positionally conserved cysteines, whose importance in structural stability and biological activity is not yet investigated. To explore the significance of these cysteines, we generated MscR single Cys variants by systematically replacing each cysteine with serine. All of the Cys variants except C39S and C309S are unable to show a complete rescue of ΔmscR on formaldehyde, show a significant loss of enzymatic activity in vitro, pronounced structural alterations as probed by circular dichroism, and loss of homotetramerization on size exclusion chromatography. Our data thus reveal the importance of intact cysteines in the structural stability and biological activity of MscR, which is a dedicated FDH in M. smegmatis, and shows ~84% identity with M. tuberculosis MscR. We believe that this knowledge will further help in the development of FDH as a potential drug target against M. tuberculosis infections." @default.
