Structure of the 2,4'-dihydroxyacetophenone dioxygenase from Alcaligenes sp. 4HAP. [PDF]
The enzyme 2,4'-dihydroxyacetophenone dioxygenase (DAD) catalyses the conversion of 2,4'-dihydroxyacetophenone to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and formic acid with the incorporation of molecular oxygen. Whilst the vast majority of dioxygenases cleave within the

Ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases involved in PAH biodegradation : structure, function, biodiversity [PDF]
International audienceThe first step in the biodegradation of PAHs by aerobic bacteria is catalyzed by metalloenzymes known as ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases (RHDs). Because of the hydrophobic nature and chemical resistance of PAHs, their initial attack

Cloning, characterization and analysis of cat and ben genes from the phenol degrading halophilic bacterium Halomonas organivorans. [PDF]
Background: Extensive use of phenolic compounds in industry has resulted in the generation of saline wastewaters that produce significant environmental contamination; however, little information is available on the degradation of phenolic compounds in ...

Oxidative inactivation of ring-cleavage extradiol dioxygenases : mechanism and ferredoxin-mediated reactivation [PDF]
Extradiol dioxygenases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze ring cleavage of a wide variety of aromatic compounds. Most of these enzymes contain a ferrous ion at the active site, which is bound to the polypeptide chain through a conserved triad of two ...

Cloning and characterisation of a maize carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (ZmCCD1) and its involvement in the biosynthesis of apocarotenoids with various roles in mutualistic and parasitic interactions [PDF]
Colonisation of maize roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi leads to the accumulation of apocarotenoids (cyclohexenone and mycorradicin derivatives).

Vitamin C increases 5-hydroxymethylcytosine level and inhibits the growth of bladder cancer
Background 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is converted from 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by a group of enzymes termed ten-eleven translocation (TET) family dioxygenases.
