mheI
This part is a coding gene mheI (for MBC-hydrolyzing enzyme) that encodes MBC-hydrolyzing esterase (MHE) to degrade MBC pesticide. Degradation of MBC is achieved by hydrolyzing MBC to 2-aminobenzimidazole (2-AB), which is then converted to benzimidazole or 2-hydroxybenzimidazole (2-HB). The conversion of 2-AB was inhibited by NH4NO3. The benzene ring of 2-HB was further opened through meta catechol cleavage. MHE is responsible for carrying out the first step detoxification (MBC-2-AB), without the need of any cofactor. MHE is a soluble serine hydrolase of 242 amino acid residues and has a molecular size of 25-27 kDa.
