Characterization of tetrachlorohydroquinone reductive dehalogenase from Sphingomonas sp. UG30 [PDF]
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2002 Tetrachlorohydroquinone reductive dehalogenase (PcpC) is the second of three enzymes that catalyze the initial degradation of pentachlorophenol in Sphingomonas sp. UG30 and several other bacterial strains. The UG30 PcpC shares a high degree (94%) of primary sequence identity with the well-studied PcpC from Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723 ...

Mimicking reductive dehalogenases for efficient electrocatalytic water dechlorination
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractElectrochemical technology is a robust approach to removing toxic and persistent chlorinated organic pollutants from water; however, it remains a challenge to design electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity as elaborately as natural reductive dehalogenases.

Guided cobamide biosynthesis for heterologous production of reductive dehalogenases [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2018 Summary Cobamides (Cbas) are essential cofactors of reductive dehalogenases (RDases) in organohalide‐respiring bacteria (OHRB). Changes in the Cba structure can influence RDase function. Here, we report on the cofactor versatility or selectivity of Desulfitobacterium RDases ...

GENETICS AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF DEHALOGENATING ENZYMES [PDF]
, 1994 Microorganisms that can utilize halogenated compounds as a growth substrate generally produce enzymes whose function is carbon-halogen bond cleavage. Based on substrate range, reaction type and gene sequences, the dehalogenating enzymes can be classified

Divergent roles of CprK paralogues from Desulfitobacterium hafniense in activating gene expression [PDF]
, 2008 Gene duplication and horizontal gene transfer play an important role in the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. We have investigated the role of three CprK paralogues from the cAMP receptor protein-fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator (CRP-FNR) family ...

Functional Heterologous Production of Reductive Dehalogenases from Desulfitobacterium hafniense Strains [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014 ABSTRACT The anaerobic dehalogenation of organohalides is catalyzed by the reductive dehalogenase (RdhA) enzymes produced in phylogenetically diverse bacteria. These enzymes contain a cobamide cofactor at the active site and two iron-sulfur clusters.
