dszA behind and RBS (B0034)
DszA coding sequence behind a ribosome binding site (BBa_B0034)
A monooxygenase enzyme involved in the 4S desulfurization pathway. The functional DszA protein encoded by this sequence is dimeric, and is involved in the third step of the 4S biodesulfurization pathway. In this pathway, DszA carries out the conversion of DBT-sulfone to 2-hydroxybiphenyl-2-sulfinic acid through addition of an oxygen to the sulfur heteroatom. FMNH2 is consumed by this reaction, and therefore when this protein is employed a flavin mononucleotide oxidoreductase should also be used (such as BBa_K902057 or BBa_K804006)
