  • Title: Characterization of catechol 2,3-dioxygenases.
    Author: Kim Y, Choi B, Lee J, Chang H, Min KR.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1992 Feb 28; 183(1):77-82. PubMed ID: 1543511.
    Abstract:
    Three catechol 2,3-dioxygenases for biphenyl, naphthalene/salicylate, and toluene/xylene oxidation were cloned from Achromobacter xylosoxidans KF701, Pseudomonas putida (NAH7), and Pseudomonas sp. (pWWO). The cloned catechol 2,3-dioxygenases were identified by enzymatic activity assay in addition to yellow bands on polyacrylamide gel after electrophoresis and activity staining. All of the cloned catechol 2,3-dioxygenases exhibited their highest activities on catechol as a substrate compared with catechol derivatives including 4-chlorocatechol, 3-methylcatechol, and 4-methylcatechol. The cloned catechol 2,3-dioxygenases are not fused proteins but were significantly different from one another in their electrophoretic mobilities on nondenaturing 7.5%-polyacrylamide gel.
