Genetic structure of the bphG gene encoding 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase of Achromobacter xylosoxidans KF701.
2-Hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (HMS) to an enol form of 4-oxalocrotonate which is a step in the catechol meta-cleavage pathway. A bphG gene encoding HMS dehydrogenase of A. xylosoxidans KF701, a soil bacterium degrading biphenyl, was identified at between catechol 2,3-dioxygenase gene and HMS hydrolase gene, and its sequence was analyzed. An open reading frame (ORF) corresponding to bphG gene was consisted of 1461 nucleotides with ATG initiation codon and TGA termination codon. The ORF exhibited 66% of G + C content, and a putative ribosome-binding sequence, AGAGA, was identified at about 10 nucleotides upstream initiation codon of the bphG gene. The bphG gene can encode a polypeptide of molecular weight 52 kDa containing 486 amino acid residues. A deduced amino acid sequence of HMS dehydrogenase encoded in bphG gene from A. xylosoxidans KF701 exhibited the highest 94% homology with that of corresponding enzyme encoded in xylG from P. putida mt-2, 63% to 90% homology with those of other reported HMS dehydrogenases, and 29% to 42% homology with those of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, 5-carboxy-HMS dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase, indole-3-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, and succinylglutamate 5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase. From an alignment of amino acid sequence of HMS dehydrogenase from A xylosoxidans KF701 with other reported dehydrogenases, putative cofactor NAD(+)-binding regions and catalytic residues were identified.
