  • 摘要:Pyruvic oxime dioxygenase (POD), a key enzyme in heterotrophic nitrification, was purified from Alcaligenes faecalis, and the molecular and catalytic characteristics were reexamined. POD was purified as the homotetramer of the subunit whose molecular weight was 30,000. The deduced amino acid sequence of POD was homologous with a class II aldolase that has been regarded as the Zn((II))-dependent enzyme catalyzing aldol reactions. The recombinant protein showed weak POD activity, and was activated by reconstitution with Fe((II)). Affinity and catalytic constants were estimated at 470 μM and 4.69 sec(-1), respectively. The POD was inactivated by EDTA to remove bound divalent metal cations. A reconstitution experiment demonstrated that Fe((II)), not Zn((II)), is essential for POD activity and that Mn((II)) could partially fulfill the function of Fe((II)). A mutant POD with replacement of His(183), corresponding to one of three Zn((II))-binding ligands in the class II aldolase, by Asn was purified as a homotetrameric protein but showed no catalytic activities. Those results suggest that the POD is homologous to class II aldolase having non-heme Fe((II)) as a catalytic center instead of Zn((II)). A possible mechanism of the POD reaction is discussed on the basis of that of a known Fe((II))-dependent dioxygenase.
