pcbA4 assembly
pcbA4 is a reductive dehalogenase present in the Dehalococcoides species. It specializes in the dechlorination of PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls. It was identified in the paper "Growth of Dehalococcoides spp. and increased abundance of reductive dehalogenase genes in anaerobic PCB-contaminated sediment microcosms" (Ewald JM, Humes SV, Martinez A, Schnoor JL, Mattes TE. Growth of Dehalococcoides spp. and increased abundance of reductive dehalogenase genes in anaerobic PCB-contaminated sediment microcosms. Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2020 Mar;27(9):8846-8858. doi: 10.1007/s11356-019-05571-7. Epub 2019 Jun 17. PMID: 31209752; PMCID: PMC6918016.). It accumulates faster than similar proteins, pcbA1 and pcbA5, it accumulates faster.
We were able to successfully clone pcbA4 into E. coli as shown by the band of ~1500 bp on a colony screening PCR gel.
