nidB from M. vanbaalenii Pyr-1
nidB forms together with nidA, phtAc and phtAd a pyrene dioxygenase enzyme complex. This complex catalyzes the oxidation of pyrene to cis-4,5-Dihydro-4,5-dihydroxypyrene. This is the first step in biodegradation of pyrene.
This part was derived from Mycobacterium vanbaalenii Pyr-1 which is a known pyrene degrading bacteria. It was also reported that nidAB is able to oxidize other high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [1]
