摘要:
Two gene clusters have been isolated from an Brevibacterium sp HCU that encode the enzymes expected to convert cyclohexanol to adipic acid. Individual open reading frames (ORF's) on each gene cluster are useful for the production of intermediates in the adipic acid biosynthetic pathway or of related molecules. All the ORF's have been sequenced. Identification of gene function has been made on the basis of sequence comparison and biochemical analysis.
摘要:
An enzyme that cleaves 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds by incorporating molecular oxygen into the substrate in amounts equimolar to the amount of substrate cleaved. The enzyme from Acinetobacter johnsonii is a multimer of about 67 kilodaltons made up of subunits of about 16.6 kilodaltons. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence analysis of a cloned A. johnsonii subunit indicates little homology with other proteins. Native or recombinant enzyme can be used to decontaminate or detoxify acetylacetone or related diketones.
