Crystallization and properties of p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The inducible p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase of Pseudomonas putidu which catalyzes the hydroxylation of P-hydroxybenzoate to protocatechuate has been obtained in crystalline form as a protein homogeneous upon ultracentrifugation and electrophoresis. The molecular weight is estimated to be 83,600. 2. The enzyme contains approximately 1 mole of flavin adenine dinucleotide per mole of protein. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, but not reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, serves as the hydrogen donor. 3. The enzyme is highly specific for p-hydroxybenzoate. Only four other aromatic compounds could be attacked at rates of less than 5% of the rate with p-hydroxybenzoate in all cases. 4. Under anaerobic conditions, the enzyme can catalyze the reduction of FAD by NADPH. This reaction requires the presence of the aromatic substrate to proceed at a significant rate. 5. The absorption spectrum of the enzyme in the visible region is slightly modified by the presence of the aromatic substrate.

Charged amino acids conserved in the aromatic acid/H+ symporter family of permeases are required for 4-hydroxybenzoate transport by PcaK from Pseudomonas putida.
Charged amino acids in the predicted transmembrane portion of PcaK, a permease from Pseudomonas putida that transports 4-hydroxybenzoate (4-HBA), were required for 4-HBA transport, and they were also required for P. putida to have a chemotactic response to 4-HBA. An essential amino acid motif (DGXD) containing aspartate residues is located in the first transmembrane segment of PcaK and is conse...
متن کاملRegulation of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid hydroxylase gene (pobA) in plant-growth-promoting Pseudomonas putida WCS358.
The regulation of the p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase gene (pobA) of Pseudomonas putida WCS358 involved in the catabolism of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB) to the central intermediate protocatechuate was studied. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is then degraded via the beta-ketoadipate pathway to form tricarboxylic acid intermediates. In several Gram-negative bacteria pobA has been found genetically linke...
متن کاملEliminating a global regulator of carbon catabolite repression enhances the conversion of aromatic lignin monomers to muconate in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
Carbon catabolite repression refers to the preference of microbes to metabolize certain growth substrates over others in response to a variety of regulatory mechanisms. Such preferences are important for the fitness of organisms in their natural environments, but may hinder their performance as domesticated microbial cell factories. In a Pseudomonas putida KT2440 strain engineered to convert li...
متن کاملPcaK, a high-affinity permease for the aromatic compounds 4-hydroxybenzoate and protocatechuate from Pseudomonas putida.
PcaK is a transporter and chemoreceptor protein from Pseudomonas putida that is encoded as part of the beta-ketoadipate pathway regulon for aromatic acid degradation. When expressed in Escherichia coli, PcaK was localized to the membrane and catalyzed the accumulation of two aromatic substrates, 4-hydroxybenzoate and protocatechuate, against a concentration gradient. Benzoate inhibited 4-hydrox...
متن کاملPhysiological characterization of Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E tolerance to p-hydroxybenzoate.
Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E was isolated as a toluene-tolerant strain. We show that it is also able to grow on high concentrations (up to 17 g/liter [123 mM]) of p-hydroxybenzoate (4HBA). Tolerance to this aromatic carboxylic acid (up to 30 g/liter [217 mM]) is improved by preexposing the cells to low 4HBA concentrations; the adaptation process is caused by the substrate itself rather than by pr...
