TPA 1,2-dioxygenase oxydase subunit alpha (tphA2)

TPA 1,2-dioxygenase (TPADO) subunit alpha (UniProt: Q3C1D5) encoded by the tphA2_II gene from Comamonas sp. E6, is one of the three proteins that form the TPADO complex [1]. TPADO is responsible for catalyzing the reaction from terephthalic acid (TPA) to 1,2-dihydroxy-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dicarboxylate (DCD), which is the first reaction in a TPA assimilation pathway [2]. This part contains the coding sequence of tphA2_II optimized for expression in Pseudomonas putida, and more specifically, in a synthetic operon to be expressed along with 4 other proteins.
