This enzyme was redesigned with the intended purpose of dechlorinating the chlorine at the ortho position of PCB132 to potentially better facilitate the breakdown of PCB132 into acetyl CoA by the biphenyl degradation pathway (bph gene cluster).

This is a modified RdhANp with the potential to dechlorinate PCB132 at the ortho position for more efficient breakdown of the compound to acetyl CoA by the biphenyl degradation pathway (bph gene cluster). Mechanistically, Y426 in RdhANp protonates the chlorine located at 3.5A from the oxygen of Y426 and 5.0A from the cobalamin to catalyze a dechlorination reaction where the chlorine would coordinate with the Co on the cobalamin.

RdhANp_M132O_K12

This sequence codes for a modified RdhANp that has been docked to the ortho chlorine position in PCB 132 and codon-optimized for expression in E. coli K-12. This enzyme contains the following mutations: F294Y K295L E298L K310A P314Y M315L S423A S425V M426L N455I H457D V556I A563G. It was designed as an improvement on part BBa_K4821002, the codon-optimized wild-type RdhANp dehalogenase to possess higher catalytic activity against PCB 132.

Usage and Biology

This is a modified RdhANp with the potential to dechlorinate PCB132 at the ortho position for more efficient breakdown of the compound to acetyl CoA by the biphenyl degradation pathway (bph gene cluster). Mechanistically, Y426 in RdhANp protonates the chlorine located at 3.5A from the oxygen of Y426 and 5.0A from the cobalamin to catalyze a dechlorination reaction where the chlorine would coordinate with the Co on the cobalamin.
