Absolute configuration of a metabolite in the m-fission pathway of protocatechuate.

چکیده
An aldolase, which is induced in Pseudomonas testosteroni during growth with p-hydroxybenzoate, preferentially attacks the R form of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxoglutarate, a metabolite of protocatechuate catabolism.

Pathways for the degradation of m-cresol and p-cresol by Pseudomonas putida.
A comparison of the oxidation rates of various compounds by whole cells of Pseudomonas putida 3, 5 indicated that m-cresol is metabolized by oxidation to 3-hydroxybenzoate followed by hydroxylation to gentisate, the ring-fission substrate, when grown with 3, 5-xylenol. However, when m-cresol was the growth substrate, similar experiments suggested a different pathway involving a methyl-substitut...
متن کاملMetabolism of dibutylphthalate and phthalate by Micrococcus sp. strain 12B.
Micrococcus sp. strain 12B was isolated by enriching for growth with dibutylphthalate as the sole carbon and energy source. A pathway for the metabolism of dibutylphthalate and phthalate by micrococcus sp. strain 12B is proposed: dibutylphthalate leads to monobutylphthalate leads to phthalate leads to 3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxyphthalate leads to 3,4-dihydroxyphthalate leads to protocatechuate (3...
متن کامل2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylic acid, a catabolite of gallic acids in Pseudomonas species.
2-Pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate hydrolase was purified from 4-hydroxybenzoate-grown Pseudomonas testosteroni. Gel filtration and electrophoretic measurements indicated that the preparation was homogeneous and gave a molecular weight of 37,200 for the single subunit of the enzyme. Hydrolytic activity was dependent upon a functioning sulfhydryl group(s) and was freely reversible; the equilibrium posit...
متن کاملInvestigation of relationship with electron configuration of chemical hardness, absolute electronegativity and electrophilicity
Chemical hardness (), absolute electronegativity (), and electrophilicity () have importantapplications in inorganic chemistry. These concepts are defined quantitatively as � � �� � ����,� � �� � ����, � � ������Where I is the ionization energy and A is the electron affinity. In thisstudy, graphical method was used to see the relation of electron configuration with chemicalhardness, absolute el...
متن کاملMultiple-level regulation of genes for protocatechuate degradation in Acinetobacter baylyi includes cross-regulation.
The bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi uses the branched beta-ketoadipate pathway to metabolize aromatic compounds. Here, the multiple-level regulation of expression of the pca-qui operon encoding the enzymes for protocatechuate and quinate degradation was studied. It is shown that both activities of the IclR-type regulator protein PcaU at the structural gene promoter pcaIp, namely protocatechuate-...
