The β-ketoadipate pathway is a major pathway involved in the catabolism of the aromatic compounds in microbes. The recent progress in genome sequencing has led to a rapid accumulation of genes from the β-ketoadipate pathway in the available genetic database, yet the functions of these genes remain uncharacterized. In this study, the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway of Rhodococcus jostii was reconstituted in vitro. Analysis of the reaction products of PcaHG, PcaB, and PcaL was achieved by high-performance liquid chromatography. These reaction products, β-ketoadipate enol-lactone, 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate, γ-carboxymuconolactone, muconolactone, and β-ketoadipate, were further characterized using LC-MS and nuclear magnetic resonance. In addition, the in vitro reaction of PcaL, a bidomain protein consisting of γ-carboxy-muconolactone decarboxylase and β-ketoadipate enol-lactone hydrolase activities, was demonstrated for the first time. This work provides a basis for analyzing the catalytic properties of enzymes involved in the growing number of β-ketoadipate pathways deposited in the genetic database.

Protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase (protocatechuate: oxygen 3,4-oxidoreductase, EC 1.13.11.3) purified from the wood-degrading fungus Pleurotus ostreatus was immobilized on glass beads.The per cent attached protein was 78 with a retained enzymatic activity of 90percent.The basic properties of the immobilized enzyme were tested and compared with those of a soluble form.Immobilized dioxygenase was stable over wide ranges of pH and temperature.Moreover, the immobilization brought about a slight increase of its specific activity.Key Words Index - Pleurotus ostreatus; protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase; immobilization; porous glass beads.
