Abstract

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases perform a multitude of roles, including the generation of hydroxylated aromatic compounds that might be utilized by microorganisms for their survival. WGS data of KCCM40447 revealed a complete circular genome of 9,099,986 base pairs and functionally assigned 8601 protein-encoding genes. Genomic analysis confirmed that the gene for 4-methoxybenzoate monoxygenase (CYP199A35) was conserved in close proximity to the gene for 4-hydroxybenzoate transporter (PcaK). The co-localized genes encoding CYP199A35, and ferredoxin-NAD(P) reductase (Mbr) represent a two-component system for electron transfer. CYP199A35 was specific for -demethylation of -methyl substituted benzoic acid derivatives, 4-methoxybenzoate (4 MB), and 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4MCA) using the native redox partner (Mbr); two-component system and non-physiological redox partners (Pdr/Pdx); three-component system. The catalytic efficiency for -demethylation of 4 MB using Mbr and Pdr/Pdx was 0.02 ± 0.006 min μM and 0.07 ± 0.02 min μM respectively. Further, sequence annotation and function prediction by RAST and KEEG analysis revealed a complete catabolic pathway for the utilization of 4 MB by strain KCCM40447, which was also proved experimentally.
