The optimal temperature and pH for DszA activity were 35 degrees C and about 7.5. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by Mn2+, Ni2+, 2,2'-bipyridine, and 8-quinolinol, suggesting that a metal might be involved in its activity. DszA acted on not only DBT sulfone but also on dibenz[c,e][1,2]oxathiin 6-oxide and dibenz[c,e][1,2]oxathiin 6,6-dioxide. Dihydroxybiphenyl was formed from the latter two
二苯并噻吩(DBT)是石油中的有机硫化合物的模型,被红球菌D-1微生物脱硫成2-羟基联苯。硫特异性DBT脱硫涉及三种脱硫(Dsz)酶-DszC,A和B-和黄素还原酶。在这项研究中,DszA是从R. erythropolis D-1中纯化,鉴定和结晶的。DszA,DBT砜单加氧酶,是微生物DBT脱硫代谢中的第二种酶,在黄素还原酶存在的情况下催化DBT砜向2'-羟基联苯2-亚磺酸的转化,并裂解DBT骨架中的碳-硫键。使用阴离子交换柱色谱分离负责DBT脱硫的四个酶馏分,然后将DszA纯化至均质。一周之内观察到DszA的多边形晶体。发现DszA具有97kDa的分子量并且由具有50kDa的相同质量的两个亚基组成。纯化的DszA的N末端氨基酸序列与R. erythropolis IGTS8的dszA的推导氨基酸序列完全重合,除了后者N末端的蛋氨酸残基。DszA活性的最佳温度和pH为35℃和约7.5。该酶的活性受到Mn2
