Separation and characterization of pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside 2'-hydroxylase and thymine 7-hydroxylase from Aspergillus nidulans. 1984

P M Shaffer, and J R Cairns, and D C Dorman, and A M Lott

Partially purified preparations from Aspergillus nidulans were shown to catalyze two alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase reactions: the pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside 2'-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.3) and the thymine 7-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.6) reactions. These reactions showed an absolute requirement for alpha-ketoglutarate and molecular oxygen and were stimulated by Fe(II), ascorbate and catalase. Both reactions demonstrated a stoichiometry such that for each mole of substrate (deoxyribonucleoside or pyrimidine) hydroxylated one mole of CO2 was produced from alpha-ketoglutarate. These two activities were separated using DEAE-Sephacel chromatography.

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.
