摘要
Epoxide degradation in cell extracts of Xanthobacter strain Py2 has been reported to be dependent on NAD(+) and dithiols, This multicomponent system has now been fractionated, A key protein encoded by a DNA fragment complementing a Xanthobacter strain Py2 mutant unable to degrade epoxides was purified and analyzed. This NADP-dependent protein, a novel type of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase, is essential for epoxide degradation, NADPH, acting as the physiological cofactor, replaced the dithiols in epoxide conversion.
