gene nox, DNA and amino acid sequence deteremination and analysis, recombinant expression from a broad-host-range cloning vector in Escherichia coli strain DH5alpha and Pseudomonas putida strain KT2440, the enzyme is exxpressed in both hosts but only active in Pseudomonas putida | Pseudomonas sp. |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | a nox disruption mutant of strain HZN6 loses the ability to degrade nicotine, but not pseudooxynicotine | Pseudomonas sp. |
metabolism | the enzyme is responsible for the first step of nicotine degradation | Pseudomonas sp. |
additional information | the conserved FAD-binding GXGXXG motif and His456 are essential for nicotine degradation activity | Pseudomonas sp. |
physiological function | the enzyme nonenantioselectively degrades nicotine to pseudooxynicotine | Pseudomonas sp. |
