L. CRAWFORD* AND T. D. FRICK University of Minnesota, Freshwater Biological Institute, Navarre, Minnesota Received for publication 8 March 1977 A total of four pathways are known for the catabolism by microorganisms of gentisate (2,5-dihydroxybenzoate) and homogentisate (2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetate). Both of these dihydric phenols can be degraded by either a glutathionedependent or a glutathione-independent reaction sequence. We found that it is not always possible to unequivocally assign glutathione dependence or independence to a particular catabolic sequence by using the well-established spectrophotometric assays at 33 nm (gentisate pathway) or 32 nm (homogentisate pathway). This paper reports a modification of the classical spectrophotometric assays that allowed an unequivocal differentiation between glutathione-dependent and glutathione-independent pathways, even when crude cell extracts contained significant quantities of cell-derived, reduced glutathione. This was accomplished by performing assays in the presence of an approximately 1-3 M solution of the sulfhydryl-binding agent N-ethylmaleimide. A number of para-dihydric phenols are Fig. 3. These more complex patterns make differentiation between possible pathways more known to be substrates for ring-fission dioxygenases (7). The two most frequently encountered examples have been gentisate (2,5-dihy- interpreted to indicate that, in some organisms, difficult.

3 172 CRAWFORD AND FRICK MATERIALS AND METHODS All cultural, enzymatic, and analytical procedures were performed as previously described (2-6, 8). Solutions ofn-ethylmaleimide (NEM,.1 M) and GSH (.1 M) were freshly prepared before their use. In all spectrophotometric assays, free GSH concentrations never exceeded 1,uM (1), thereby avoiding nonenzymatic degradation of ring-fission products by GSH. Chemicals were purchased either from the Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, Mo.) or the Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wis.). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION When the usual spectrophotometric assays of gentisate and homogentisate degradation were performed in the presence of a 1-3 M solution of the sulfhydryl-binding agent NEM (11), it became possible to unequivocally differentiate pathways. Figure 4 illustrates the spectral changes observed at 33 rum during oxidation of gentisate by a crude extract prepared from Moraxella OA3, an organism known to degrade 2-hydroxybenzoate. by a GSH-dependent, gentisate route (6). Figure 4A illustrates spectral changes in the absence of NEM, and Fig. 4B illustrates spectral changes in the presence of 1-3 M NEM. As the figure shows, NEM completely inhibits the GSH-dependent degradation of maleylpyruvate by extracts of this organism, and this inhibition can be overcome by adding GSH in a slight excess over NEM. Similar results were obtained with an extract of Pseudomonas acidovorans, which degrades 4- hydroxyphenylacetate by a GSH-dependent, homogentisate pathway (8; Fig. 5). Figure 6 illustrates the spectral changes observed at 33 nm during degradation of gentisate by an extract prepared from Bacillus C5f, an organism known to degrade its growth substrate (3-hydroxybenzoate) via a GSH-independent, gentisate pathway (3). In this case NEM does not prevent degradation of the ringfission product, since the observed degradation of maleylpyruvate was not due to GSH present in crude cell extracts, but was independent of GSH. Similar results were obtained when extracts were prepared from Bacillus MMPA-2, an organism known to degrade 3-methoxyphenylacetate by a GSH-independent, homogentisate pathway (4; Fig. 7). The general utility of the above-described "NEM procedure" to unequivocally differentiate gentisate/homogentisate pathways is shown in Table 1. Organisms known from previous investigations to degrade gentisate and/ or homogentisate by GSH-dependent routes were examined by this technique. In all cases B..8 / ~4 ~ 4.2\ 4.2. f R FIG. 4.

NEM inhibited the GSH-dependent degradation of ring-fission products and, with the exception of tyrosinegrown Moraxella OA3, this inhibition was overcome by the addition of a slight excess of GSH over NEM. Numerous organisms known to degrade gentisate and/or homogentisate by GSH-independ-

In all cases except one (Pseudomonas strain 2,5X) this technique gave spectral patterns like those illustrated in Fig. 6 for gentisate degraders or Fig. 7 for homogentisate degraders. NEM did not prevent further degradation of ring-fission products in the absence of free GSH. Crude extracts of 3-hydroxybenzoate-grown Pseudomonas strain 2,5X (9, 1) degraded gentisate in the absence of NEM by the nonclassical pattern of Fig. 3A, indicating some GSHdependent catabolic activity. In the presence of 1-3 M NEM, portions of the same extracts degraded gentisate by the pattern of Fig. 6B, confirming the presence of a GSH-independent.6..4 M B. 6) GENTISATE/HOMOGENTISATE CATABOLISM 173 pathway in this pseudomonad as documented by Hopper et al. (1). However, on addition of a slight excess of free GSH over NEM (1.1/1.; 1 pm free GSH), the degradation rate of maleylpyruvate was increased significantly. Thus, it appears that Pseudomonas 2,5X contains both GSH-independent and GSH-dependent enzymes for the degradation of maleylpyruvate. Hopper et al. (1) reported a complete absence of a GSH-dependent maleylpyruvate isomerase in this strain. They used an ammonium sulfateprecipitated enzyme preparation.

5 174 CRAWFORD AND FRICK tracts, which were not subjected to any partial purification procedures. Two newly isolated organisms that did not give clearly defined spectral patterns (Fig. 3) were examined by the NEM procedure (Table 1). Both were easily classified as either GSH dependent or GSH independent by observing whether or not NEM caused inhibition of ringfission product degradation. NEM (1-3 M) did not significantly inhibit gentisate dioxygenase or homogentisate dioxygenase activities in crude extracts prepared from the organisms listed in Table 1. NEM also generally did not significantly inhibit enzymes that degrade maleylpyruvate, fumarylpyruvate, maleylacetoacetate, or fumarylacetoacetate. In all cases of known GSH-dependent pathways, except that of tyrosine-grown Moraxella OA3 (Table 1), addition of excess GSH (GSH/NEM = 1.1) resulted in disappearance of the ring-fission products. In all instances of the known GSH-independent pathways, ring-fission product degradation was not prevented by the presence of NEM. Further evidence to support these contentions is shown by the observation that extracts of salicylate-grown strain OA3 (Table 1) readily degrade synthetic fumarylpyruvate in the presence or absence of 1-3 M NEM. Thus, NEM does not significantly inhibit the fumarylpyruvate hydrolase of strain OA3. Another variation of gentisate catabolism has been reported, indicating that a strain of Bacillus megaterium may isomerize maleylpyruvate to fumarylpyruvate without the participation of GSH (S. R. Hagedorn, S. L. Keenan, and P. J. Chapman, Abstr. Annu. Meet. Am. Soc. Microbiol. 1977, Q86, p. 275). In such an instance, the GSH independence of the isomerization should be demonstrable by the NEM APPL. ENVIRON. MICROBIOL. procedure. The absence of significant absorption of maleylpyruvate in the near-ultraviolet region in acid solution, in contrast to the strong absorption of fumarylpyruvate under such conditions (13), should allow a demonstration of the transient accumulation of fumarylpyruvate from maleylpyruvate in the presence of NEM. The procedure described here should be of value to investigators who are examining microbial degradation of gentisate or homogentisate. In instances where degradation of maleylpyruvate or maleylacetoacetate appears to proceed by a GSH-independent mechanism, addition of approximately 1-3 M NEM to the assay mixture should not abolish this catabolic activity (Fig. 6 and 7). Where the apparent GSHindependent activity is an artifact of cell-derived GSH, addition of 1-3 M NEM will result in the accumulation of the ring-fission product (Fig. 4 and 5).
