    Journal: Microbiology (Reading); 1996 Aug; 142 ( Pt 8)():2129-35. PubMed ID: 8760926.
    Abstract:
    The non-haem chloroperoxidase gene (cpoF) from the pyrrolnitrin producer Pseudomonas fluorescens BL914 was cloned using an oligonucleotide derived from part of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of chloroperoxidase (CPO-P) from Pseudomonas pyrrocina as a probe. Based on the overexpression of cpoF in Escherichia coli and the stability of CPO-F against higher temperatures and proteases, the enzyme was purified to homogeneity. Partial characterization of the enzyme showed that it belongs to the class of bacterial non-haem CPOs. To investigate the role of CPO-F in pyrrolnitrin biosynthesis, the cpoF gene was inactivated by insertion of a kanamycin cassette. Exchange of the chromosomal cpoF gene against the disrupted copy had no influence on pyrrolnitrin production demonstrating that CPO-F was not involved in pyrrolnitrin biosynthesis.
