Independent Formaldehyde Dehydrogenase Gene from Pseudomonas putida
نویسندگان
چکیده
A DNA fragment of 485 bp was specifically amplified by PCR with primers based on the N-terminal sequence of the purified formaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.46) from Pseudomonas putida and on that of a cyanogen bromide-derived peptide. With this product as a probe, a gene coding for formaldehyde dehydrogenase (fdhA) in P. putida chromosomal DNA was cloned in Escherichia coli DH5ot. Sequencing analysis revealed that thefdhA

Glutathione-independent formaldehyde dehydrogenase from Pseudomons putida: survey of functional groups with special regard for cysteine residues.
The role of cysteine residues for structure and function of formaldehyde dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida was analysed by amino acid sequence comparison, homology-based structure modeling, site-directed mutagenesis, and chemical modification. Five out of seven cysteine residues found in the enzyme were concluded to coordinate with an active site zinc (Cys-46) and structural zinc atoms (Cys...
متن کاملRedundancy of enzymes for formaldehyde detoxification in Pseudomonas putida.
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 exhibits redundant formaldehyde dehydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases that contribute to the detoxification of formaldehyde, a highly toxic compound. Physical and transcriptional analyses showed that the open reading frame (ORF) PP0328, encoding one of the formaldehyde dehydrogenases, is self-sufficient, whereas the other functional formaldehyde dehydrogenase gene ...
متن کاملIsolation, Purification and Characterization of Proline Dehydrogenase from a Pseudomonas putida POS-F84 Isolate
The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize Proline Dehydrogenase (ProDH) enzyme frommicroorganisms isolated from soil in Iran. Isolation and screening of L-proline degradative enzymes from soilsamples was carried out. The isolate was characterized by biochemical markers and 16S rRNA geneanalysis. The target ProDH was purified and the effects of pH and temperatur...
متن کاملPhysiological responses of Pseudomonas putida to formaldehyde during detoxification
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 exhibits two formaldehyde dehydrogenases and two formate dehydrogenase complexes that allow the strain to stoichiometrically convert formaldehyde into CO(2). The strain tolerated up to 1.5 mM formaldehyde and died in the presence of 10 mM. In the presence of 0.5 mM formaldehyde, a sublethal concentration of this chemical, the growth rate decreased by about 40% with res...
متن کاملEffects of GroESL coexpression on the folding of nicotinoprotein formaldehyde dismutase from Pseudomonas putida F61.
The overexpression of fdm, which encodes the formaldehyde dismutase from Pseudomonas putida F61, resulted in the formation of inclusion bodies made up of aggregated enzyme, leaving little activity in the soluble fraction of the transformant cells. On the other hand, coexpression of groESL along with fdm facilitated in vivo solubilization of the enzyme protein in its active form. When coexpresse...
