Tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) dehalogenase catalyzes the conversion of TCHQ to 2,6-dichlorohydroquinone during degradation of pentachlorophenol by Sphingobium chlorophenolicum. TCHQ dehalogenase is a member of the glutathione S-transferase superfamily. Members of this superfamily typically catalyze nucleophilic attack of glutathione upon an electrophilic substrate to form a glutathione conjugate and contain a single glutathione binding site in each monomer of the typically dimeric enzyme. TCHQ dehalogenase, in contrast to most members of the superfamily, is a monomer and uses 2 equiv of glutathione to catalyze a more complex reaction. The first glutathione is involved in formation of a glutathione conjugate, while the second is involved in the final step of the reaction, a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction that regenerates the free enzyme and forms GSSG. TCHQ dehalogenase is severely inhibited by its aromatic substrates, TCHQ and trichlorohydroquinone (TriCHQ). TriCHQ acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction required to regenerate the free form of the enzyme. In addition, dissociation of the GSSG product is inhibited by TriCHQ. The thiol-disulfide exchange reaction is the rate-limiting step in the reductive dehalogenation reaction under physiological conditions.

Roles of Two Glutathione-Dependent 3,6-Dichlorogentisate Dehalogenases in Rhizorhabdus dicambivorans Ndbn-20 in the Catabolism of the Herbicide Dicamba.

The herbicide dicamba is initially demethylated to 3,6-dichlorosalicylate (3,6-DCSA) in Ndbn-20 and is subsequently 5-hydroxylated to 3,6-dichlorogentisate (3,6-DCGA). In the present study, two glutathione-dependent 3,6-DCGA dehalogenases, DsmH1 and DsmH2, were identified in strain Ndbn-20. DsmH2 shared a low identity (only 31%) with the tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) dehalogenase PcpC from ATCC 39723, while DsmH1 shared a high identity (79%) with PcpC.

Tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ) dehalogenase is profoundly inhibited by its aromatic substrates, TCHQ and trichlorohydroquinone (TriCHQ). Surprisingly, mutations that change Ile12 to either Ser or Ala give an enzyme that shows no substrate inhibition. We have previously shown that TriCHQ is a noncompetitive inhibitor of the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction between glutathione and ESSG, a covalent adduct between Cys13 and glutathione formed during dehalogenation of the substrate.

Tetrachlorohydroquinone dehalogenase catalyzes the reductive dehalogenation of tetrachloro- and trichlorohydroquinone to give 2,6-dichlorohydroquinone in the pathway for degradation of pentachlorophenol by Sphingobium chlorophenolicum. Previous work has suggested that this enzyme may have originated from a glutathione-dependent double bond isomerase such as maleylacetoacetate isomerase or maleylpyruvate isomerase. While some of the elementary steps in these two reactions may be similar, the final step in the dehalogenation reaction, a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction that removes glutathione covalently bound to Cys13, certainly has no counterpart in the isomerization reaction.

Tetrachlorohydroquinone reductive dehalogenase (PcpC) is the second of three enzymes that catalyze the initial degradation of pentachlorophenol in Sphingomonas sp. UG30 and several other bacterial strains. The UG30 PcpC shares a high degree (94%) of primary sequence identity with the well-studied PcpC from Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723.
