    Abstract:
    Carbaryl is a widely used carbamate pesticide in agriculture. The strain Rhizobium sp. X9 possesses the typical carbaryl degradation pathway in which carbaryl is mineralized via 1-naphthol, salicylate, and gentisate. In this study, we cloned a carbaryl hydrolase gene cehA and a novel two-component 1-naphthol hydroxylase gene cehC1C2. CehA mediates carbaryl hydrolysis to 1-naphthol and CehC1, an FMNH2 or FADH2-dependent monooxygenase belonging to the HpaB superfamily, and hydroxylates 1-naphthol in the presence of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (FMN)/flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and the reductase CehC2. CehC1 has the highest amino acid similarity (58%) with the oxygenase component of a two-component 4-nitrophenol 2-monooxygenase, while CehC2 has the highest amino acid similarity (46%) with its reductase component. CehC1C2 could utilize both FAD and FMN as the cofactor during the hydroxylation, although higher catalytic activity was observed with FAD as the cofactor. The optimal molar ratio of CehC1 to CehC2 was 2:1. The Km and Kcat/Km values of CehC1 for 1-naphthol were 74.71 ± 16.07 μM and (8.29 ± 2.44) × 10-4 s-1·μM-1, respectively. Moreover, the enzyme activities and substrate spectrum between CehC1C2 and previously reported 1-naphthol hydroxylase McbC were compared. The results suggested that McbC had a higher 1-naphthol hydroxylation activity, while CehC1C2 had a broader substrate spectrum.
