Regulation of aldoxime dehydratase activity by redox-dependent change in the coordination structure of the aldoxime-heme complex.
Phenylacetaldoxime dehydratase from Bacillus sp. strain OxB-1 (OxdB) catalyzes the dehydration of Z-phenylacetaldoxime (PAOx) to produce phenylacetonitrile. OxdB contains a protoheme that works as the active center of the dehydration reaction. The enzymatic activity of ferrous OxdB was 1150-fold higher than that of ferric OxdB, indicating that the ferrous heme was the active state in OxdB catal...
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...
متن کاملWhy is the oxidation state of iron crucial for the activity of heme-dependent aldoxime dehydratase? A QM/MM study.
Aldoxime dehydratase is a heme-containing enzyme that utilizes the ferrous rather than the ferric ion to catalyze the synthesis of nitriles by dehydration of the substrate. We report a theoretical study of this enzyme aimed at elucidating its catalytic mechanism and understanding this oxidation state preference (Fe(2+) versus Fe(3+)). The uncatalyzed dehydration reaction was modeled by includin...

this study investigates the cohesive devices used in the textbook of english for the students of psychology. the research questions and hypotheses in the present study are based on what frequency and distribution of grammatical and lexical cohesive devices are. then, to answer the questions all grammatical and lexical cohesive devices in reading comprehension passages from 6 units of 21units th...
Polymerase chain reaction for identification of aldoxime dehydratase in aldoxime- or nitrile-degrading microorganisms.
We developed a molecular screening procedure using Southern hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify aldoxime dehydratase (Oxd) encoding genes (oxds) among 14 aldoxime- or nitrile-degrading microorganisms. When an oxd gene of Rhodococcus erythropolis N-771 was used as a probe, positive hybridization signals were seen with the chromosomal DNA of eight strains, suggesting tha...
