tphA3: Catalyzes together with tphA2 TPA to DCD

Figure 1. Homology modelling of TphA3. For simulation parameters http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Darmstadt/Modeling_Homologie_Modeling#TphA3 click here.

TphA3 is coding for the small terephthalate 1,2-dioxygenase subunit from Comamonas testosteroni KF-1. TphA3 forms together with TphA1 and TphA2 the terephthalic acid 1,2-dioxygenase system (TERDOS). TERDOS catalyzes the first reaction in the terephthalic acid degradation

Usage and Biology

The monomer of TphA3 consists of 155 amino acids and has a molar mass of 17.36 kDa. Gel permeation chromatography shows that TphA3 has a homotrimeric structure and a mass of 52.08 kDa.

Figure 2. GPC analysis of TphA3. The Peak of TphA3 has a retention time of 33 minutes. This retention time equates a molar mass of 52 kDa, approximately.http://2012.igem.org/Team:TU_Darmstadt/Modeling_Homologie_Modeling#TphA3 click here.
