Rubber oxygenase A - rubber degrading enzyme


Part BBa_K1819003 corresponds to the coding sequence of rubber oxygenase A (Rox A) from Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y (Gene bank accession code: AGT20506.1.) This 73 kDa protein is an extracellular enzyme that catalyzes oxidative C-C cleavage of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) to a major product, 12-oxo-4,8-dimethyltrideca-4,8-diene-1-al (ODTD; C15 tri-isoprenoid), with specific activity measured as 0.3 mol min-1 per mg. Found not only in Xanthomonas sp. but also in other Gram-negative clearing zone formers, RoxA is structurally related to cytochrome c peroxidases and its function is associated to two covalently bound heme groups. Although recently characterized by Birke et al 1, the exact enzymatic mechanism of rubber degradation by RoxA has not yet been elucidated.

Such non-usual restriction sites may serve for cloning purposes that leads to expression of recombinant protein with no additional amino acid residue(s) between its coding sequence and the fused N-terminal tag.

Please note this part was submitted in pSB1C3, the Registry's standard shipping backbone, according to submission requirements. However, pSB1C3 contains a SacI site and if you want to use this part we recommend to move the part into another plasmid backbone what can be easily done.

Rubber oxygenase A - rubber degrading enzyme

RoxA is an extracellular dioxygenase secreted by Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y during growth on poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) and cleaves rubber to one major product, 12-oxo-4,8-dimethyltrideca-4,8-diene-1-al (ODTD).

Mature RoxA is a 73-kDa protein with two heme centers that are covalently attached to RoxA via two heme-binding motifs. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements and analysis of the three-dimensional structure revealed that the N-terminal heme represents the active site and has a stably bound dioxygen molecule as an axial ligand.

RoxA oxidatively attack the double bonds of rubber molecules to give cleavage products with aldehyde (OCH2OCHO) and keto (CH3OCOOCH2O) end groups and a certain number of isoprene units in between. Compared to LCP, RoxA produces one major polyisoprene cleavage product (ODTD).
