RESUMO
The enzyme which cleaves the benzene ring of 6-chlorohydroxyquinol was purified to apparent homogeneity from an extract of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol-grown cells of Streptomyces rochei 303. Like the analogous enzyme from Azotobacter sp. strain GP1, it exhibited a highly restricted substrate specificity and was able to cleave only 6-chlorohydroxyquinol and hydroxyquinol and not catechol, chlorinated catechols, or pyrogallol. No extradiol-cleaving activity was observed. In contrast to 6-chlorohydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase from Azotobacter sp. strain GP1, the S. rochei enzyme had a distinct preference for 6-chlorohydroxyquinol over hydroxyquinol (kcat/Km = 1.2 and 0.57 s-1.microM-1, respectively). The enzyme from S. rochei appears to be a dimer of two identical 31-kDa subunits. It is a colored protein and was found to contain 1 mol of iron per mol of enzyme. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of 6-chlorohydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase from S. rochei 303 and from Azotobacter sp. strain GP1 showed a high degree of similarity.
