Abstract: | An inducible pyridine nucleotide-linked cyclohexanol dehydrogenase activity was present in crude extracts from aNocardia species following growth on cyclohexane. The enzyme was purified 126-fold by affinity chromatography and has an oligomeric
molecular weight of 145,000 ±5,000. There was an absolute requirement for NAD for activity and the products of the dehydrogenase
reaction were stoichiometric amounts of NADH and cyclohexanone. The enzyme had a broad specificity for secondary alcohols
including straight-chain secondary alcohols, cyclic and substituted cyclic alcohols, and cyclohexane diols. The apparentK
m
values for cyclohexanol and NAD were 3.7×10−5 M and 2.4×10−5 M, respectively, and the optimal pH for cyclohexanol oxidation was 10.5. The enzyme was heat sensitive, losing about 50%
activity after a 1-min incubation at 45°C. Enzyme activity was completely inhibited by the thiol agent,p-chloromercuribenzoate but not by metal chelating agents. |
