Catechol dioxygenases.
Catechol dioxygenases are key enzymes in the metabolism of aromatic rings by soil bacteria. Catechol dioxygenases have been found that participate in the metabolism of halogenated aromatic compounds and, in doing so, play a key role in bioremediation of halogenated pollutants. The catechol dioxygenases can be divided into two major groups: those that cleave the aromatic ring between the vicinal...
متن کاملDegradation of chloroaromatics: purification and characterization of a novel type of chlorocatechol 2,3-dioxygenase of Pseudomonas putida GJ31.
A purification procedure for a new kind of extradiol dioxygenase, termed chlorocatechol 2,3-dioxygenase, that converts 3-chlorocatechol productively was developed. Structural and kinetic properties of the enzyme, which is part of the degradative pathway used for growth of Pseudomonas putida GJ31 with chlorobenzene, were investigated. The enzyme has a subunit molecular mass of 33.4 kDa by sodium...
متن کاملAnalysis of a new dimeric extradiol dioxygenase from a naphthalenesulfonate-degrading sphingomonad.
A new extradiol dioxygenase was cloned by screening a gene bank from the naphthalenesulfonate-degrading bacterial strain BN6 for colonies with 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase (DHBPDO) activity. A 1.6 kb DNA fragment was sequenced and an ORF of 954 bp identified. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of DHBPDO II from strain BN6 with previously published sequences showed the closest re...
متن کاملMetagenomics reveals diversity and abundance of meta-cleavage pathways in microbial communities from soil highly contaminated with jet fuel under air-sparging bioremediation
The extradiol dioxygenase diversity of a site highly contaminated with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons under air-sparging treatment was assessed by functional screening of a fosmid library in Escherichia coli with catechol as substrate. The 235 positive clones from inserts of DNA extracted from contaminated soil were equivalent to one extradiol dioxygenase-encoding gene per 3.6 Mb of DNA sc...
متن کاملExtradiol cleavage of 3-methylcatechol by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase from various microorganisms.
The isofunctional enzymes of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase from species of Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Nocardia, Alcaligenes, and Corynebacterium oxidize 3-methylcatechol according to both the intradiol and extradiol cleavage patterns. However, the enzyme preparations from Brevibacterium and Arthrobacter have only the intradiol cleavage activity. Comparison of substrate specificity among these isofu...
