Purification and some properties of lignostilbene-α,β-dioxygenase responsible for the Cα-Cβ cleavage of a diarylpropane type lignin model compound from Pseudomonas sp. TMY1009
1989
A novel dioxygenase, lignostilbene-a,β-dioxygenase (LSD), which catalyzes cleavage of the interphenyl double bond of lignin-derived stilbenes, was isolated. Four isozymes of LSD were separated from cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas sp. TMY1009 by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE- Toyopearl column. The major isozyme, LSD-I, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity and characterized.LSD-I cleaved the interphenyl double bond of l,2-bis(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenyl)ethylene with the optimum pH at 8.5. The Km of LSD-I was 11 μm for the stilbene and 110/iM for oxygen. The molecular weight of LSD-I, which is composed of two identical subunits, was estimated to be 94,000. LSD-I contained 1 g atom of iron per 1 mol of enzyme protein.
