Alkane Hydroxylase System

The alkB gene cluster from Gordonia sp. TF6 facilitates the initial step of the degradation of C5-13 alkanes as well as that of C5-8 cycloalkanes. The cluster is formed by the genes for alkB2 (alkane 1-monooxygenase), rubA3 (rubredoxin), rubA4 (rubredoxin) and rubB (rubredoxin reductase). alkB2 is a non-haem diiron monooxygenase membrane protein. This monooxygenase oxidizes n-alkanes to the respective n-alkanols and requires three soluble electron-transfer proteins, rubredoxin (rubA3 & rubA4) and rubredoxin reductase (rubB).
