Structural and biochemical characterization of a widespread enterobacterial peroxidase encapsulin
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1002/advs.202415827
Abstract
Encapsulins are self-assembling protein compartments found in prokaryotes and specifically encapsulate dedicated cargo enzymes. The most abundant encapsulin cargo class are Dye-decolorizing Peroxidases (DyPs). It has been previously suggested that DyP encapsulins are involved in oxidative stress resistance and bacterial pathogenicity due to DyPs’ inherent ability to reduce and detoxify hydrogen peroxide while oxidizing a broad range of organic co-substrates. Here, we report the structural and biochemical analysis of a DyP encapsulin widely found across enterobacteria. Using bioinformatic approaches, we show that this DyP encapsulin is encoded by a conserved transposon-associated operon, enriched in enterobacterial pathogens. Through low pH and peroxide exposure experiments, we highlight the stability of this DyP encapsulin under harsh conditions and show that DyP catalytic activity is highest at low pH. We determine the structure of the DyP-loaded shell and free DyP via cryo-electron microscopy, revealing the structural basis for DyP cargo loading and peroxide preference. Our work lays the foundation to further explore the substrate range and physiological functions of enterobacterial DyP encapsulins.

![Figure 1 Identification and heterologous production of an enterobacterial DyP encapsulin. A) Proposed catalytic cycle for DyPs. The active site heme group and proximal histidine ligand are shown as stick models in cyan. Iron is shown as an orange sphere. The catalytic cycle starts with the ferric resting state. Next, hydrogen peroxide coordinates to the heme iron and, likely mediated by acid‐base catalysis, a net loss of water then yields the radical cation oxoferryl species Compound I. In this step, the two oxygens of H2O2 are reduced (one oxygen lost as water, the other still bound to iron) resulting in oxidation of the heme iron and porphyrin ring. This intermediate is then reduced in either two successive one‐electron transfers via the intermediate Compound II state, or a single two‐electron transfer from an appropriate electron‐donating co‐substrate, to the initial ferric resting state. A: electron‐donating organic co‐substrate. B) Representative DyP encapsulin operon. C) Distribution of DyP encapsulins in enterobacteria. D) SDS‐PAGE gel (left) and negative stain TEM micrograph (right) of the purified Enc shell. M: molecular weight marker. Scale bar: 50 nm. E) SDS‐PAGE gel (left) and TEM micrograph (right) of purified DyP‐loaded Enc resulting from staggered co‐expression. Scale bar: 50 nm. F) Native PAGE analysis of free DyP and EncDyP. Coomassie staining shown on the left, ferricyanide staining shown on the right. Ferricyanide staining after 3,3′‐diaminobenzidine (DAB) and H2O2 exposure allows for the in‐gel detection of peroxidase activity. In the presence of H2O2, DAB is oxidized resulting in a polymerized brown precipitate which is further oxidized by ferricyanide leading to an enhanced in‐gel signal. BSA: bovine serum albumin. G) UV–Vis analysis of free DyP and EncDyP. Full spectrum shown on the left, zoomed‐in region shown on the right. The Soret peak is visible at 406 nm. Upon reduction, a decrease in the Soret peak and loss of the two minor absorbance peaks at 505 and 635 nm is observed. Further, a minor broad absorbance peak in the region of 500 to 700 nm, characteristic for DyPs, is observed upon reduction.[ 53 ] DT: dithionite. AU: absorbance units.](/paper-figures/755c61bab703472d9d69779ab43c06ba/structural-and-biochemical-characterization-of-a-widespread-enterobacterial-figure-1.jpg)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
