title: Cloning and sequence analyses of a 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase gene ( bphC) from Comamonas sp. SMN4 for phylogenetic and structural analysis.
abstract: A genomic library of biphenyl-degrading Comamonas sp. SMN4 for isolating fragments containing the 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (23DBDO) gene was constructed. The smallest subclone (pNPX9) encoding 23DBDO activity was sequenced and analyzed. The C-terminal domain of 23DBDO from Comamonas sp. SMN4 had five catalytically essential residues and was more highly conserved than the N-terminal domain. Phylogenetic and structural relationships of 23DBDO from Comamonas sp. SMN4 were analyzed.
