RESUMO
Genes encoding 3-phenylcatechol dioxygenases were cloned from the chlorobiphenyl-degrading Pseudomonas putida strain OU83, using broad-host-range cosmid vector pCP13. Restriction enzyme analysis of DNA from 2,3-dioxygenase-positive chimeric cosmids showed DNA inserts ranging in size from 6.0 to 30 kilobases. The origin of the DNA insert in hybrid clones was established by using 32P-labeled hybrid clones (pOH101 and pOH810). A 2.3-kilobase HindIII fragment was common to two clones. The 2,3-dioxygenase from the parent P. putida strain, OU83, and the recombinant clones (pOH101 and pOH8101) showed similar characteristics as determined by isoelectric focusing and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 2,3-dioxygenase from the Escherichia coli recombinant cosmid showed a pI of 5.0, a Km of 14 microM, and broad substrate activity with catechol, 4-chlorocatechol, 4-methylcatechol, and 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl.
