The nucleotide sequence of cbaC, the 1-carboxy-3-chloro-4,5-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,6-diene (cis-diol) dehydrogenase gene from the 3-chlorobenzoate (3-Cba) catabolic transposon Tn5271 was determined. The functional significance of the deduced open reading frame was evaluated by deletion of an internal BstEII restriction site in cbaC and by the creation of nested deletions using exonuclease III. Expression studies were carried out with Alcaligenes sp. strain BR6024, a chloramphenicol-resistant, tryptophan auxotroph derived from the wild-type isolate BR60. BR6024 hosts carrying complete cbaAB (3-Cba 3,4-(4,5)-dioxygenase and reductase) genes, with deletions of cbaC, metabolized 3Cba to the cis-4,5-diol metabolite. These mutants failed to grow on 3-Cba; however, they grew on 3,4-dichlorobenzoate, accumulating 5-chloroprotocatechuate transiently. These results indicated the cbaC dehydrogenase was not required for re-aromatization of the unstable 3,4-dCba cis-4,5-diol metabolite. Spontaneous elimination of HCl from this metabolite is proposed to generate 5-chloroprotocatechuate, which is a substrate for the protocatechuate metaring fission pathway in Alcaligenes sp. BR60. The relationship of the deduced amino acid sequence of cbaC with 15 other oxidoreductases and sequences of unknown function from bacteria, plants and animals revealed a conserved N-terminal GxxGxG dinucleotide-binding domain and a conserved region with a H(x11)KHVLxEKPxA consensus flanked by alpha-helical domains. o-Phthalate cis-diol dehydrogenase (Pseudomonas putida), glucose-fructose oxidoreductase (Zymomonas mobilis), myo-inositol-2-dehydrogenase (Bacillus subtilis) and D-galactose-1-dehydrogenase (Pseudomonas fluorescens) are related proteins. These dehydrogenases are unrelated to the Type I, II and III dehydrogenase superfamilies that include the cis-diol dehydrogenases involved in benzoate, toluene, biphenyl and naphthalene catabolism (Type II) and benzene catabolism (Type III).

Compared to lipids, block copolymer vesicles are potentially robust nanocontainers for enzymes owing to their enhanced chemical stability, particularly in challenging environments. Herein we report that -diol-functional diblock copolymer vesicles can be chemically adsorbed onto a hydrophilic aldehyde-functional polymer brush via acetal bond formation under mild conditions (pH 5.5, 20 °C).

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on the reactions involving reactive intermediates in the -dihydroxylation of arenes and olefins using Rieske dioxygenases and synthetic nonheme iron catalysts.
- It presents findings on how a specific iron(III)-peroxo complex interacts with olefins and naphthalene derivatives, resulting in the formation of structurally characterized iron(III) cycloadducts.
- Notably, this study is the first to demonstrate the -dihydroxylation of these substrates using a nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complex, producing valuable -diol products.

Phthalate cis-4,5-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (PhtC), the second enzyme of the phthalate catabolic pathway, catalyzes the dehydrogenation of cis-4,5-dihydrodiol phthalate (DDP). Here, we report the structural and biochemical characterization of PhtC from Comamonas testosteroni KF1 (PhtC). With biochemical experiments, we have determined the enzyme's catalytic efficiency (k/K) with DDP as 2.

The cis-dihydroxylation of arenes by Rieske dearomatizing dioxygenases (RDDs) represents a powerful tool for the production of chiral precursors in organic synthesis. Here, the substrate specificity of the RDD benzoate dioxygenase (BZDO) in Ralstonia eutropha B9 whole cells was explored using quantitative 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (q1H-NMR). The specific activity, specific carbon uptake, and regioselectivity of the dihydroxylation reaction were evaluated in resting cell cultures for a panel of 17 monosubstituted benzoates.

Biodegradation of terephthalate (TPA) is a highly desired catabolic process for the bacterial utilization of this polyethylene terephthalate (PET) depolymerization product, but to date, the structure of terephthalate dioxygenase (TPDO), a Rieske oxygenase (RO) that catalyzes the dihydroxylation of TPA to a -diol, is unavailable. In this study, we characterized the steady-state kinetics and first crystal structure of TPDO from Comamonas testosteroni KF1 (TPDO). TPDO exhibited substrate specificity for TPA (/ = 57 ± 9 mM s).
