| Abstract |
We tested the synthesis and in vivo function of the inducible alkane hydroxylase of Pseudomonas oleovorans GPo1 in several Escherichia coli recombinants. The enzyme components (AlkB, AlkG and AlkT) were synthesized at various rates in different E. coli hosts, which after induction produced between twofold and tenfold more of the Alk components than did P. oleovorans. The enzyme components were less stable in recombinant E. coli hosts than in P. oleovorans. In addition, the specific activity of the alkane mono-oxygenase component AlkB was five or six times lower in E. coli than in P. oleovorans. Evidently, optimal functioning of the hydroxylase system requires factors or a molecular environment that are available in Pseudomonas but not in E. coli. These factors are likely to include correct interactions of AlkB with the membrane and incorporation of iron into the AlkG and AlkB apoproteins. |

alkT encodes the 3rd component of the alkane hydroxylase complex, the rubredoxin reductase. Transfers electrons from NADH to rubredoxin. Figure 7 shows the highest specific activity for alkT in P.oleovorans, lower in E.coli HB101 and lowest in E.coli W3110. This concluded that the rubredoxin reductase is present in excess in the E. coli alk+ recombinants |
