Oxidative biodegradation of 4-chlorophenol by using recombinant monooxygenase cloned and overexpressed from Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6.
Bioresource Technology 2017 September
In this study, cphC-I and cphB, encoding a putative two-component flavin-diffusible monooxygenase (TC-FDM) complex, were cloned from Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6. The corresponding enzymes were overexpressed to assess the feasibility of their utilization for the oxidative decomposition of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). Soluble CphC-I was produced at a high level (∼50%), and subsequently purified. Since CphB was expressed in an insoluble form, a flavin reductase, Fre, cloned from Escherichia coli was used as an alternative reductase. CphC-I utilized cofactor FADH2, which was reduced by Fre for the hydroxylation of 4-CP. This recombinant enzyme complex exhibited a higher specific activity for the oxidation of 4-CP (45.34U/mg-protein) than that exhibited by CphC-I contained in cells (0.18U/mg-protein). The Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters were determined as: vmax=223.3μM·min(-1), KM=249.4μM, and kcat/KM=0.052min(-1)·μM(-1). These results could be useful for the development of a new biochemical remediation technique based on enzymatic agents catalyzing the degradation of phenolic contaminants.
