title: Peptide mass fingerprinting- and 2-DE/MS-based analysis of the biodegradation potential for monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Pseudomonas sp.
abstract: The combined analysis of peptide mass fingerprinting and 2-DE/MS using the induced and selected protein spots following growth of Pseudomonas sp. DU102 on benzoate or p-hydroxybenzoate revealed not only alpha- and beta-subunits of protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase but also catechol 1,2-dioxygenase responsible for ortho-pathway through ring-cleavage of aromatic compounds. Toluate 1,2-dioxygenase and p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase were also identified. Purification of intradiol dioxygenases such as catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase from the benzoate or p-hydroxybenzoate culture makes it possible to trace the biodegradation pathway of strain DU102 for monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Interestingly, vanillin-induced protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase was identical in amino acid sequences with protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase from p-hydroxybenzoate.
