1H-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinoline 2,4-dioxygenase (Qdo) from the 1H-4-oxoquinolin
e utilizing Pseudomonas putida strain 33/1, which catalyzes the cleavage of
1H-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinoline to carbon monoxide and N-formylanthranilate, i
s devoid of any transition metal ion or other cofactor and thus represents
a novel type of ring-cleavage dioxygenase. Gene qdo was cloned and sequence
d. Its overexpression in Escherichia coli yielded recombinant His-tagged Qd
o which was catalytically active. Qdo exhibited 36% and 16% amino acid iden
tity to 1H-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinaldine 2,4-dioxygenase (Hod) and atropinester
ase (a serine hydrolase), respectively. Qdo as well as Hod possesses a SXSH
G motif, resembling the motif GXSXG of the serine hydrolases which comprise
s the active-site nucleophile (X=arbitrary residue). (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie
