Identification of crucial histidines involved in carbon-nitrogen triple bond synthesis by aldoxime dehydratase.
Aldoxime dehydratase (OxdA), which is a novel heme protein, catalyzes the dehydration of an aldoxime to a nitrile even in the presence of water in the reaction mixture. The combination of site-directed mutagenesis of OxdA (mutation of all conserved histidines in the aldoxime dehydratase superfamily), estimation of the heme contents and specific activities of the mutants, and CD and resonance Ra...
متن کاملCrystal structure of aldoxime dehydratase and its catalytic mechanism involved in carbon-nitrogen triple-bond synthesis.
Aldoxime dehydratase (OxdA), which is a unique heme protein, catalyzes the dehydration of an aldoxime to a nitrile even in the presence of water in the reaction mixture. Unlike the utilization of H(2)O(2) or O(2) as a mediator of catalysis by other heme-containing enzymes (e.g., P450), OxdA is notable for the direct binding of a substrate to the heme iron. Here, we determined the crystal struct...
متن کاملSynthesis of amides and peptides using new enzyme function
We have extensively studied microbial metabolism of toxic compounds with a triple bond between carbon and nitrogen, such as nitriles [R–CN] . In the Pseudomonas chlororaphis B23 strain, nitrile is hydrated to amide by nitrile hydratase (NHase), followed by degradation to acid by amidase. This strain’s NHase was previously used for the industrial acrylamide production and is now used for the pro...
متن کاملNitrile pathway involving acyl-CoA synthetase: overall metabolic gene organization and purification and characterization of the enzyme.
Two open reading frames (nhpS and acsA) were identified immediately downstream of the previously described Pseudomonas chlororaphis B23 nitrile hydratase (NHase) gene cluster (encoding aldoxime dehydratase, amidase, the two NHase subunits, and an uncharacterized protein). The amino acid sequence deduced from acsA shows similarity to that of acyl-CoA synthetase (AcsA). The acsA gene product expr...
متن کاملDistribution of aldoxime dehydratase in microorganisms.
The distribution of phenylacetaldoxime-degrading and pyridine-3-aldoxime-degrading ability was examined with intact cells of 975 microorganisms, including 45 genera of bacteria, 11 genera of actinomyces, 22 genera of yeasts, and 37 genera of fungi, by monitoring the decrease of the aldoximes by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The abilities were found to be widely distributed in bacteria, a...
