Abstract
- The facultative anaerobe Shewanella oneidensis respires an extensive set of electron acceptors and, as a consequence, can leak electrons to produce reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, the effects of respiration on cytoplasmic redox homeostasis are poorly characterized in comparison. In the present study, the H2O2 sensor HyPer-3 was deployed to interrogate cytoplasmic peroxide levels of both wild-type and gene deletion mutants lacking peroxide scavenging enzymes following exposure to H2O2. HyPer-3 signals were validated in the S. oneidensis wild-type strain and exhibited a dynamic range of 0–250 μM H2O2. As reported by the HyPer-3 sensor, the cytoplasm of H2O2-perturbed mutant strains lacking periplasmic glutathione peroxidase (PgpD) and double deletion mutants lacking catalase (KatB) and bifunctional catalase-peroxidases (KatG1 or KatG2) contained high H2O2 concentrations. The high cytoplasmic H2O2 concentrations correlated with impaired H2O2 removal rates displayed by the mutant strains. Results of the present study provide the first in vivo interrogation of the redox environment of the S. oneidensis cytoplasm with HyPer-3 sensors and indicate that proper redox conditions in minimal growth medium are maintained by the concerted action of both well-known (periplasmic PgpD, cytoplasmic KatB and KatG1) and previously overlooked (cytoplasmic KatG2) peroxidases and catalases.
