Biochemical and genetic characterization of trans-2'-carboxybenzalpyruvate hydratase-aldolase from a phenanthrene-degrading Nocardioides strain.


ABSTRACT: trans-2'-Carboxybenzalpyruvate hydratase-aldolase was purified from a phenanthrene-degrading bacterium, Nocardioides sp. strain KP7, and characterized. The purified enzyme was found to have molecular masses of 38 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 113 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. Thus, the homotrimer of the 38-kDa subunit constituted an active enzyme. The Km and kcat values of this enzyme for trans-2'-carboxybenzalpyruvate were 50 microM and 13 s(-1), respectively. trans-2'-Carboxybenzalpyruvate was transformed to 2-carboxybenzaldehyde and pyruvate by the action of this enzyme. The structural gene for this enzyme was cloned and sequenced; the length of this gene was 996 bp. The deduced amino acid sequence of this enzyme exhibited homology to those of trans-2'-hydroxybenzalpyruvate hydratase-aldolases from Pseudomonas putida PpG7 and Pseudomonas sp. strain C18.
