Properties of anthranilate hydroxylase (deaminating), a flavoprotein from Trichosporon cutaneum.

Properties of anthranilate hydroxylase (deaminating), a flavoprotein from Trichosporon cutaneum.

Anthranilate hydroxylase was purified from the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum. This enzyme is a simple flavoprotein which apparently does not require any additional cofactor for the conversion of anthranilate to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate. Anthranilate hydroxylase has Mr of approximately 95,000, with subunit Mr of 50,000; it contains 2 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme. A number of compounds in addition to anth...

Properties of salicylate hydroxylase and hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase purified from Trichosporon cutaneum.

Salicylate hydroxylase (salicylate 1-monooxygenase, EC 1.14.13.1) was purified from the soil yeast Trichosporon cutaneum. The enzyme contained flavin adenine dinucleotide and was monomeric, with a molecular weight of 45,300. In addition to salicylate, the four isomeric dihydroxybenzoates having one hydroxyl adjacent to carboxyl in the benzene nucleus were oxidatively decarboxylated without form...

cis,cis-Muconate cyclase from Trichosporon cutaneum.

The inducible enzyme catalysing the conversion of cis,cis-muconate to (+)-muconolactone was purified 300-fold from the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum, grown on phenol. The enzyme has a sharp pH optimum at pH 6.6. It reacts also with several monohalogen derivatives and with one monomethyl derivative of cis,cis-muconate, but not with cis,trans- or trans,trans-muconate or 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate. ...

Trichosporon cutaneum C.A.P.D. peritonitis.

Influence of various phenolic compounds on phenol hydroxylase activity of a Trichosporon cutaneum strain.

The phenol-degrading strain Trichosporon cutaneum R57 utilizes various aromatic and aliphatic compounds as a sole carbon and energy source. The intracellular activities of phenol hydroxylase [EC 1.14.13.7] of a Trichosporon cutaneum R57 strain grown on phenol (0.5 g/l) were measured. Different toxic phenol derivatives (cresols, nitrophenols and hydroxyphenols) were used as substrates in the rea...
