A novel hydrolase PyzH catalyses the cleavage of C=N double bond for pymetrozine degradation in Pseudomonas sp. BYT-1
Summary Pymetrozine is a synthetic pesticide that can be utilized as the sole carbon source by Pseudomonas sp. strain BYT-1. However, the genes involved in the degradation of pymetrozine remain unknown. We used transposon mutagenesis to create a mutant that unable to hydrolyze pymetrozine. The transposon interrupted the gene pyzH , which was cloned by self-formed adaptor PCR. PyzH hydrolyzed the C=N double bond of pymetrozine to produce 4-amino-6-methyl-4,5-dihydro-2 H -[1,2,4]triazin-3-one (AMDT) and nicotinaldehyde; the latter inhibits PyzH activity. PyzH can completely hydrolyze pymetrozine in the presence of dehydrogenase ORF6, which can convert nicotinaldehyde into nicotinic acid and relieve the inhibition. H 2 18 O-labeling experiments showed that the oxygen atom of nicotinaldehyde came from water instead of oxygen. PyzH homologous genes were also found in other soil isolates able to degrade pymetrozine.
