Description
DszC is a monoxygenase which can not only convert dibenzothiophene (DBT) to DBT-sulfoxide (DBTO) but also convert DBT-sulfoxide (DBTO) to DBTsulfone (DBTO2)during the 4S pathway, in which dibenzothiophene (DBT) undergoes three successive oxidation steps and one a hydrolytic step leading to the formation of 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2HBP). And DszC require reducing equivalents (FMNH2) supplied by a flavinreductase (DszD) while working.
Notes
DszC require reducing equivalents (FMNH2) supplied by a flavinreductase (DszD) while working.
Source
The monooxygenase was found in Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 and the gene was synthesized and the sequence was found in NCBI (GenBank Accession number L37363.1).
