Nicotine dehydrogenase from Arthrobacter oxidans: A molybdenum-containing hydroxylase

Abstract: The nicotine dehydrogenase from Arthrobacter oxidans was purified 40‐fold to homogeneity with 26% recovery. SDS‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme revealed three protein bands corresponding to Mr of 82 000, 30 000 and 15 000. The Mr of the native enzyme was calculated to be 12 0000 by gel chromatography. The enzyme contained about 1 FAD, 1 molybdenum, 4 iron and 2 labile sulfur.

“…Close inspection of the data (23) indicates that the enzyme exhibits a small peak at 411 nm indicative of a cytochrome, which also might have been lost. Formation of the hydroxylated intermediate seems to be quite similar to the hydroxylation of N-heterocyclic compounds such as purines (4), nicotine (13), nicotinic acid (11,34), or picolinic acid (44), as noted before (23). A relationship of the two reactions is indicated by the observed unspecificity of XDH for 2-furoylCoA, as observed in our strain P. putida Ful (24).…”

“…Rather, it suggests that the formyl group is dehydrogenated while still bound to the primary amino group of methanofuran yielding N-carboxymethanofuran as product (reaction b) which should break down non-enzymically to CO, and methanofuran (Ewing et al, 1980) : 0 R Reaction (b) indicates that formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase belongs to the group of molybdenum enzymes that catalyze an insertion of an oxygen atom derived from H,O into a C-H bond (Pilato and Stiefel, 1993). Enzymes belonging to this group are xanthine dehydrogenases and xanthine oxidases (Bray, 1988;Wootton et al, 1991), molybdenum-containing formate dehydrogenases (Adams and Mortenson, 1985;Barber et al, 1986;Friedebold and Bowien, 1993), formate-ester dehydrogenase (van Ophem et al, 1992), aldehyde oxidase (Branzoli and Massey, 1974), aldehyde dehydrogenase (Poels et al, 1987), aldehyde oxidoreductase (White et al, 1993), nicotine dehydrogenase (Freudenberg et al, 1988), nicotinate dehydrogenase and 6-hydroxynicotinate dehydrogenase (Nagel and Andreesen, 1990), isonicotinate dehydrogenase and 2-hydroxyisonicotinate dehydrogenase (Kretzer and Andreesen, 1991), quinoline oxidoreductase (Hettrich et al, 1991), quinoline-4-carboxylic acid oxidoreductase (Bauer and Lingens, 19921, quinaldine oxidoreductase (de Beyer and Lingens, 1993), quinaldic acid 4-oxidoreductase (Fetzner and Lingens, 1993), picolinate dehydrogenase (Siegmund et al, 1990), 2-furoyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase , and pyrimidine oxidase and pyridoxal oxidase (Burgmayer and Stiefel, 1985). Interestingly, one of these enzymes, milk xanthine oxidase, can even catalyze the dehydrogenation of formamide to carbamic acid (Morpeth et al, 1984) which is a reaction also catalyzed by formylrnethanofuran dehydrogenase.…”

“…1. The nicotine-hydroxylating enzymes, known as nicotine dehydrogenase (NDH) and ketone dehydrogenase (KDH) (8,20), belong to the family of molybdenum cofactor, Fe-S cluster, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent hydroxylases (11). 6-Hydroxynicotine oxidases-one specific for 6HLNO and one specific for 6-hydroxy-D-nicotine, a minor side product of nicotine metabolism-are FAD-containing enzymes (5).…”
