Histamine dehydrogenase (HADH) from Nocardioides simplex catalyzes the oxidative deamination of histamine to produce imidazole acetaldehyde and an ammonium ion. HADH is functionally related to trimethylamine dehydrogenase (TMADH), but HADH has strict substrate specificity towards histamine. HADH is a homodimer, with each 76 kDa subunit containing two redox cofactors: a [4Fe-4S] cluster and an unusual covalently bound flavin mononucleotide, 6-S-cysteinyl-FMN. In order to understand the substrate specificity of HADH, it was sought to determine its structure by X-ray crystallography. This enzyme has been expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli and successfully crystallized in two forms. Diffraction data were collected to 2.7 A resolution at the SSRL synchrotron with 99.7% completeness. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 101.14, b = 107.03, c = 153.35 A.

α-1,3-Glucanase Agl-KA from Bacillus circulans KA-304 consists of a discoidin domain (DS1), a carbohydrate binding module family 6 (CBM6), a threonine-proline-rich-linker (TP linker), a discoidin domain (DS2), an uncharacterized domain, and a catalytic domain. The binding of DS1, CBM6, and DS2 to α-1,3-glucan can be improved in the presence of two of these three domains. In this study, DS1, CBM6, and TP linker were genetically fused to histamine dehydrogenase (HmDH) from Nocardioides simplex NBRC 12069.

Histamine is a biogenic amine found in fish-derived and fermented food products with physiological relevance since its concentration is proportional to food spoilage and health risk for sensitive consumers. There are various analytical methods for histamine quantification from food samples; however, a simple and quick enzymatic detection and quantification method is highly desirable. Histamine dehydrogenase (HDH) is a candidate for enzymatic histamine detection; however, other biogenic amines can change its activity or produce false positive results with an observed substrate inhibition at higher concentrations.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional fish sauce can have high levels of histamine, potentially exceeding safety limits set by regulatory bodies.
  • A study identified a bacterial strain, Virgibacillus campisalis TT8.5, which can thrive in harsh conditions typical of fish sauce fermentation and effectively degrade histamine by 45.1% in 7 days.
  • This strain shows promise for reducing histamine levels in fish sauce without compromising its quality, potentially making traditional fish sauce safer for consumption.

Enzymatic amino acid assays are important in physiological research and clinical diagnostics because abnormal amino acid concentrations in biofluids are associated with various diseases. L-histidine decarboxylase from Photobacterium phosphoreum (PpHDC) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme and a candidate for use in an L-histidine quantitation assay. Previous cysteine substitution experiments demonstrated that the PpHDC C57S mutant displayed improved long-term storage stability and thermostability when compared with those of the wild-type enzyme.
