A 9.2-kb DNA fragment encoding the enzymes of a p-nitrophenol (PNP) catabolic pathway from Pseudomonas putida DLL-E4 was cloned and sequenced. Ten open reading frames (ORFs) were found and five ORFs were functionally verified. The pnpA and pnpC gene products were purified to homogeneity by Ni-NTA chromatography. PnpA is a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent single-component PNP 4-monooxygenase which converts p-nitrophenol to para-benzoquinone in the presence of NADH and FAD. PnpC is a 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene (BT) 1,2-dioxygenase which converts BT to maleylacetate. The hydroquinone (HQ) dioxygenase (PnpC1C2) multi-component protein complex was expressed in Escherichia coli via plasmid pET-pnpC1C2 containing pnpC1 and pnpC2. This complex converts HQ to gamma-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. pnpR is a lysR-type regulator gene. PnpR is a positive regulator involved in HQ degradation in pnp gene cluster. These results demonstrate that a pathway encoded by the pnp gene cluster is involved in degradation of HQ and BT in P. putida DLL-E4.

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
