(1) Dehalogenase : •A dehalogenase is a type of enzyme that catalyzes the removal of a halogen (cleavage of carbon-halogen bonds ) atom from a substrate

•EC 3.8 ( hydrolase class )

•Examples include :

•4-chlorobenzoate dehalogenase

•4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase

•Dichloromethane dehalogenase

•Fluoroacetate dehydrogenase

•Haloacetate dehalogenase

•(R)-2-haloacid dehalogenase

•(S)-2-haloacid dehalogenase

•Haloalkane dehalogenase

•Halohydrin dehalogenase

•Haloacetate dehalogenase

•Tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase

Page 4: Topic

Application •Halogenated aliphatic compounds

• widely used in agriculture and industries.

• have applications as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, solvents and hydraulic or transfer fluids

•But now accumulating in the environment

• decontamination by using microbiological degradation methods (transforming them into harmless products.

• potential use of DEHALOGENASE in biotechnological applications in the bioremediation of halogenated environmental pollutants

•This enzyme may also have potential applications in the detoxification of contaminated water

•important in dechlorination reactions of chlorinated hydrocarbons

(2) nitoreductaseOxidoreductases family

They form a group of enzymes that have a central role in the reduction of nitro groups on nitrocompounds using

FMN or FAD (flavin mononucleotide or flavin adenine dinucleotide ) as prosthetic groups and

•NADH or NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ) as reducing agents

•Occurance

•They are primarily found in bacteria, mouse and human .

•This protein is not found in photosynthetic eukaryotes.

Page 6: Topic

Categorisation •nitroreductases have been grouped into two categories based on their ability to reduce nitro groups in the presence of oxygen by one electron or two-electron transfers

•Type I (oxygen-insensitive) nitroreductases catalyze the sequential transfer of two electrons from NAD(P)H to the nitro groups of nitrosubstituted compounds, in the presence or absence of oxygen

•Type II (oxygen-sensitive) nitroreductases catalyze one-electron reductions of the nitro group in the presence of oxygen,

Page 7: Topic

Why important ? •nitrosubstituted aromatics (reported as toxic, mutagenic, or carcinogenic )

•nitroaromatic compounds an important group of pollutants,

• examples : nitrofurans, nitropyrenes, nitrobenzenes and several others, have been used in multiple applications as pharmaceuticals, antimicrobial agents, food additives, pesticides, explosives, dyes and raw materials in several industrial processes. Thus their reduction is important thus

•Role of nitroreductase •(1) environmental and human health importance due to their central role in mediating nitrosubstituted compound toxicity

Page 8: Topic

Role of nitroreductase •(2) biotechnological application for bioremediation , biocatalysis•Good tool _ It can be used as biosensors and for the bioremediation of nitroaromatic compounds

•transgenic plants have also been used for the phytoremediation of sites contaminated with high levels of explosives

•Examples of this include the use of the tobacco plant , Arabidopsis thaliana and Aspen. These trangenic plants are able to degrade nitroaromatic compounds .

•(3)Clinical significance :

• clinical importance in chemotherapeutic tumor (cancer )treatment, ablation of specific cells and role in antibiotic resistance

(3) Peroxidase Oxidoreductases: peroxidases (EC 1.11) can be heam and nonheam proteins Peroxidase is a heat stable enzyme Occurance : Peroxidase is usually intracellular, as are the otherfungi and bacteria

In plants : The enzyme occurs in plants like radish, soybean, tomato , potato, turnip, carrot, wheat, pear, apricot, banana, dates strawberry and horseradish.

In animals :It has also been found in spleen, lungs, mammary and thyroid glands, bone marrow and intestine

Page 10: Topic

function of peroxidases : important in redox reactions

Catalyse redox reactions by using a wide variety of donor molecules and reduce a wide range of peroxides

• example :

H2O2 (peroxide ) + ZH2 (donor) → 2 H2O (reduced ) + Z (oxidized )

"Z" it indicates that the enzyme can use several different molecules as the source of the hydrogen atoms.

Role in Biological Systems :plants and mammals

Mammmals :

involved in biological processes such as immune system or hormone production or detoxification

detoxification

•Glutathiones ( peroxidases ) present both within and outside cells which use H2O2 or peroxide compounds of lipids (fats and oils) and remove them

•immune system :

•Peroxidases in the saliva : redox reactions between H2O2 and chemicals called thiocyanates >producing compounds > kill potentially harmful microorganisms.

•hormone production

•Thyroid peroxidase (TPO ) produced by the thyroid gland which uses iodine ,tyrosine and H202

•Use to create the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) imp to control metabolism and growth.

Role in Biological Systems :plants and mammals

Plants :

involved in auxin metabolism

suberin formation (wound healing )

cross-linking of cell wall components ( polymerization of macromolecule )

defense against pathogens

.Help in minimizing the damage caused by stress factors or insect pests.

•release of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

•ROS effect can damage or kill cells.

•Role of peroxidases : peroxidases remove ROS, helping prevent damage.

Page 13: Topic

In insects group of insects known as bombardier beetles.

Chamber( mixture of hydrogen peroxide and chemicals called hydroquinones )

When threatened…… they mix these with peroxidases

a redox reaction take place

lot of heat is released, with the resulting liquid ejected explosively at 212°F (100°C). It is a very effective way of deterring predators

Applications :• Bioremediation of Waste Water: Removal of Phenolic Contaminants

•Removal of Endocrine Disruptive Chemicals (EDCs) that are resistant to conventional waste water treatments

• helpful in removal or degradation of other potent environmental pollutants such as chloroanilines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons .

Degradation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PAHs) Pesticides Peroxidases extracted from some fungal species have great potential to transform several pesticides into harmless form

Degradation of Chlorinated Alkanes and Alkenes

Degradation of Chlorinated Dioxins

Degradation of Chlorinated Insecticides

Peroxidase as Biosensors for the continuous monitoring of a contaminated area

Use in Pulp-Paper Industries (lignin degrading & modifying enzyme )
