Function

The enzyme CocE catalyses the breakdown of cocaine into benzoate and ecgonine methyl ester [1]


The enzyme hydrolyzes cocaine to benzoate and ecgonine methyl ester, endowing the bacteria with the ability to utilize cocaine as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth, as this bacterium lives in the rhizosphere of coca plants. Also efficiently hydrolyzes cocaethylene, a more potent cocaine metabolite that has been observed in patients who concurrently abuse cocaine and alcohol. Is able to prevent cocaine-induced convulsions and lethality in rat.

Properties

Cocaine Substrate Kinetics

kcat is 7.8 sec-1 KM=0.64 µM[2]

Cocaethylene Substrate Kinetics

kcat is 9.4 sec-1 KM=1.6 µM[3]

Other Details

Half Life (at 37°C = ~6 mins) [4]

pH dependence on cocE kinetics and stability.[5]
