RifMo coding sequence

Rifampicin monooxygenase coding sequence from Nocardia farcinica. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of rifampicin, thereby inactivating its antibiotic activity. It constitutes a secondary rifampicin resistance factor.

Usage and Biology

Rifampicin is a potent antibiotic against tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, but an extensive usage of it and its derivatives has contributed to bacterial resistance, which neutralizes antibiotic activity. The presence of rifampicin in water bodies represents a persintent thread, because of the hazardous potential it has to aquatic organisms and human health (Cai et al., 2019).

In our project, rifampicin monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.211) is used as a detector for the presence of rifampicin by catalyzing the hydroxylation of rifampicin to 2'-N-hydroxy-4-oxo-rifampicin, a metabolite with much lower antimicrobial activity. As shown in Figure 1, this reaction requires NADPH as a reagent and, therefore, gives NADP+ as a reaction product. Consequently, it is possible to evaluate the presence of rifampicin through a coupled reaction employing a NADP+/NADPH colorimetric assay.

Rifampicin monooxygenase, as pictured below in Figure 2 is a dimeric protein that has 474 amino acids in length and 51.4 kDa in weight (Hoshino et al., 2010). Koteva and collaborators (2018) reported a Michaelis constant of 12 µM for rifampicin, concluding it has a unique affinity for this substrate.
