Characterization of a novel cis-benzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida ML2

FEBS Lett. 1999 May 14;451(1):5-9. doi: 10.1016/s0014-5793(99)00520-7.

Abstract

A second and novel cis-benzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase which is able to dehydrogenate a range of cis-dihydrodiols and other vicinal alcohols has been purified from Pseudomonas putida ML2. The enzyme is a tetramer of a polypeptide of 39 kDa in molecular mass and has a pH optimum of 9.0. Despite having a primary structure that has significant similarity to glycerol dehydrogenases, the kcat/Km value of the enzyme for cis-benzene dihydrodiol is 4300-fold higher compared to glycerol. The apparent Km values of the enzyme for cis-benzene dihydrodiol and glycerol are 0.01 mM and 46 mM, respectively, and 0.22 mM for NAD+.
