| Abstract | Gut bacteria play a crucial role in the metabolism of dietary flavonoids and thereby influence the bioactivity of these compounds in the host. The intestinal Lachnospiraceae strain CG19‐1 and Eubacterium cellulosolvens are able to deglycosylate C‐ and O‐coupled flavonoid glucosides. Growth of strain CG19‐1 in the presence of the isoflavone C‐glucoside puerarin (daidzein 8‐C‐glucoside) led to the induction of two proteins (DfgC, DfgD). Heterologous expression of the encoding genes (dfgC, dfgD) in Escherichia coli revealed no C‐deglycosylating activity in the resulting cell extracts but cleavage of flavonoid O‐glucosides such as daidzin (daidzein 7‐O‐glucoside). The recombinant DfgC and DfgD proteins were purified and characterized with respect to their quaternary structure, substrate and cofactor specificity. The products of the corresponding genes (dfgC, dfgD) from E. cellulosolvens also catalysed the O‐deglycosylation of daidzin following their expression in E. coli. In combination with three recombinant proteins encoded by adjacent genes in E. cellulosolvens (dfgA, dfgB, dfgE), DfgC and DfgD from E. cellulosolvens catalysed the deglycosylation of the flavone C‐glucosides homoorientin (luteolin 6‐C‐glucoside) and isovitexin (apigenin 6‐C‐glucoside). Even intact cells of E. coli expressing the five E. cellulosolvens genes cleaved these flavone C‐glucosides and, also, flavonoid O*‐glucosides to the corresponding aglycones. |

Description:
AP_endonuc_2
This TIM alpha/beta barrel structure is found in xylose isomerase (P19148) and in endonuclease IV (P12638 EC:3.1.21.2). This domain is also found in the N termini of bacterial myo-inositol catabolism proteins. These are involved in the myo-inositol catabolism pathway, and is required for growth on myo-inositol in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae1.
This entry represents a structural motif with a beta/alpha TIM barrel found in several proteins families: ▹ Endonuclease IV (3.1.21.2), an AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) endonuclease that primes DNA repair synthesis by cleaving the DNA backbone 5’ of AP sites2. ▹ L-rhamnose isomerase (5.3.1.14), a tetramer of four TIM barrels that catalyses the isomerisation between aldoses and ketoses, such as between L-rhamnose and L-rhamnulose3. ▹ Xylose isomerase (5.3.1.5), which catalyses the first reaction in the catabolism of D-xylose by converting D-xylose to D-xylulose4. ▹ Mannonate dehydratase UxuA, which along with mannonate oxidoreductase converts D-fructuronate to 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-gluconate5.
These proteins share similar, but not identical, metal-binding sites. In addition, xylose isomerase and L-rhamnose isomerase each have additional alpha-helical domains involved in tetramer formation.
