Pathway discovery and engineering for cleavage of a β-1 lignin-derived biaryl compound
Abstract
Lignin biosynthesis typically results in a polymer with several inter-monomer bond linkages, and the heterogeneity of linkages presents a challenge for depolymerization processes. While several enzyme classes have been shown to cleave common dimer linkages in lignin, the pathway of bacterial ß-1 spirodienone linkage cleavage has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a pathway for cleavage of 1,2-diguaiacylpropane-1,3-diol (DGPD), a ß-1 linked biaryl representative of a ring-opened spirodienone linkage, in Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM12444. In vitro assays using cell lysates demonstrated that RS14230 (LsdE) converts DGPD to a lignostilbene intermediate, which the carotenoid oxygenase, LsdA, then converts to vanillin. A Pseudomonas putida KT2440 strain engineered with lsdEA expression catabolizes erythro-DGPD, but not threo-DGPD. We further engineered P. putida to convert DGPD to a product, cis,cis-muconic acid. Overall, this work demonstrates the potential to identify new enzymatic reactions in N. aromaticivorans and expands the biological funnel of P. putida for microbial lignin valorization.
