Enzymatic activity of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase produced by Gordonia polyisoprenivorans

Abstract: Recebido em 23/1/12; aceito em 23/4/12; publicado na web em 20/7/2012 This study aimed to evaluate the environmental conditions for enzyme activity of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C1,2O) and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C2,3O) produced by Gordonia polyisoprenivorans in cell-free and immobilized extracts. The optimum conditions of pH, temperature, time course and effect of ions for enzyme activity were determined. Peak activity of C1,2O occurred at pH 8.0. The isolate exhibited the highest activity of C2,3O at pH … Show more

“…Another similarity that these enzymes share is the ferrous ion at the catalytic center [23]. But unlike most C23Os from other microorganisms [24][25][26], the C23O activity in this study was not enhanced with in the presence of Fe 3+ . This may indicate that the C23O from Thauera sp.…”

“…This enzyme catalyzes the initial degradation of PAHs to epoxide and to dihydrodiols by epoxide hydrolase. The dihydrodiols are further degraded to PAH catechols by dihydrodiols dehydrogenase . It has been advocated that the metabolism of the HMW PAHs often is initiated by fungal exoenzymes, thereby creating a diffusion gradient that facilitates further PAH biodegradation by other types of microorganisms, especially bacteria .…”

“…The dihydrodiols are further degraded to PAH catechols by dihydrodiols dehydrogenase. 19 It has been advocated that the metabolism of the HMW PAHs often is initiated by fungal exoenzymes, thereby creating a diffusion gradient that facilitates further PAH biodegradation by other types of microorganisms, especially bacteria. 9 Bacteria usually degrade LMW PAHs and a crucial phase in the aerobic bacterial metabolism of PAHs is the oxidation of the fused-benzene ring of the PAHs through the integration of molecular oxygen by the dioxygenase enzyme to form cis-dihydrodiols.…”

“…This unique C12O exhibited remarkable thermostability, up to 65°C. Whilst C12O and C23O play a major role in (1) the breakdown of environmental contaminants, including aniline and its derivatives in agricultural soils [55] and (2) the degradation of biodiesel, diesel, chlorinated benzenes and some PAHs such as dibenzothiopene [56][57], the use of free enzymes are currently not a viable option since the enzymes are typically unstable under certain environmental conditions. Silva et al [57] isolated C12O and C23O from Gordonia polyisoprenivorans and tested both the cell-free extracts and immobilised extracts.…”
