[Regulation of the synthesis of the key enzymes for naphthalene catabolism in Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas fluorescens carrying the biodegradation plasmids NAH, pBS3, pBS2 and NPL-1]. 1985

I I Starovoĭtov

Regulation of the synthesis of key enzymes catalysing naphthalene catabolism was studied in Pseudomonas strains containing different plasmids of naphthalene biodegradation. The synthesis of naphthalene oxygenase, salicylate hydroxylase, catechol-1,2-oxygenase and cathechol-2,3-oxygenase was shown to be regulated in both the coordinated and non-coordinated manner.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009281	Naphthalenes	Two-ring crystalline hydrocarbons isolated from coal tar. They are used as intermediates in chemical synthesis, as insect repellents, fungicides, lubricants, preservatives, and, formerly, as topical antiseptics.
D010105	Oxygenases	Oxidases that specifically introduce DIOXYGEN-derived oxygen atoms into a variety of organic molecules.	Oxygenase
D010957	Plasmids	Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS.	Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011549	Pseudomonas	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals, and plants.	Chryseomonas,Pseudomona,Flavimonas
D011551	Pseudomonas fluorescens	A species of nonpathogenic fluorescent bacteria found in feces, sewage, soil, and water, and which liquefy gelatin.	Bacillus fluorescens,Bacillus fluorescens liquefaciens,Bacterium fluorescens,Liquidomonas fluorescens
D004790	Enzyme Induction	An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis.	Induction, Enzyme
D006899	Mixed Function Oxygenases	Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.

D012459	Salicylates	The salts or esters of salicylic acids, or salicylate esters of an organic acid. Some of these have analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.	Salicylate,Salicylic Acids,Acids, Salicylic
D049308	Dioxygenases	Non-heme iron-containing enzymes that incorporate two atoms of OXYGEN into the substrate. They are important in biosynthesis of FLAVONOIDS; GIBBERELLINS; and HYOSCYAMINE; and for degradation of AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS.	Dioxygenase
