phtAc from M. vanbaalenii Pyr-1

PhtAc codes for phthalate dioxygenase ferredoxin subunit. It is a subunit of ring-hydroxylating oxygenase enzyme complexes which participate in biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [1] This part encodes for the same protein as BBa_J73042. It only differs in synonym codon usage.

Sequence and Features

Introduction

In this project, we aimed to establish a pyrene degradation pathway in Pseudomonas vancouverensis and to integrate it with the organism's native phenanthrene degradation pathway [2]. It is established that PhtAcAd, as electron transfer components, along with a ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase system formed by pdoA2 and pdoB2, aggregate to create a complex exhibiting dioxygenase activity [3, 4, 5]. This complex is capable of converting phenanthrene-4-carboxylate, an intermediate product of pyrene degradation, into cis-3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene an intermediate in the native phenanthrene degradation pathway of P. vancouverensis, thereby facilitating the conjunction of the two pathways [4, 5]. Given that this enzyme complex serves as a critical junction within the pathways, we opted to conduct a more detailed characterization. The components of the electron transport chain, PhtAc a ferredoxin reductase and ferredoxin PhtAd, were produced and purified to elucidate their kinetic parameters. Subsequently, we aimed to analyze the complex formation with PdoA2B2 through HPLC analysis.
