Abstract
Bacteria-derived enzymes that can modify specific lignin substructures are potential targets to engineer plants for better biomass processability. The Gram-negative bacterium Sphingobium sp. SYK-6 possesses a C-dehydrogenase (LigD) enzyme that has been shown to oxidize the -hydroxy functionalities in -O-4-linked dimers into -keto analogues that are more chemically labile. Here, we show that recombinant LigD can oxidize an even wider range of -O-4-linked dimers and oligomers, including the genuine dilignols, guaiacylglycerol--coniferyl alcohol ether and syringylglycerol--sinapyl alcohol ether. We explored the possibility of using LigD for biosynthetically engineering lignin by expressing the codon-optimized ligD gene in Arabidopsis thaliana. The ligD cDNA, with or without a signal peptide for apoplast targeting, has been successfully expressed, and LigD activity could be detected in the extracts of the transgenic plants. UPLC-MS/MS-based metabolite profiling indicated that levels of oxidized guaiacyl (G) -O-4-coupled dilignols and analogues were significantly elevated in the LigD transgenic plants regardless of the signal peptide attachment to LigD. In parallel, 2D NMR analysis revealed a 2.1-to 2.8-fold increased level of G-type -keto--O-4 linkages in cellulolytic enzyme lignins isolated from the stem cell walls of the LigD transgenic plants, indicating that the transformation was capable of altering lignin structure in the desired manner.
