ABSTRACT The xlnD gene from Pseudomonas alcaligenes NCIMB 9867 (strain P25X) was shown to encode 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase I, the enzyme that catalyzes the NADH-dependent conversion of 3-hydroxybenzoate to gentisate. Active recombinant XlnD was purified as a hexahistidine fusion protein from Escherichia coli, had an estimated molecular mass of 130 kDa, and is probably a trimeric protein with a subunit mass of 43 kDa. This is in contrast to the monomeric nature of the few 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylases that have been characterized thus far. Like other 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylases, XlnD could utilize either NADH or NADPH as the electron donor. P25X harbors a second 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase II that was strictly inducible by specific aromatic substrates. However, the degradation of 2,5-xylenol and 3,5-xylenol in strain P25X was found to be dependent on the xlnD-encoded 6-hydroxylase I and not the second, strictly inducible 6-hydroxylase II.

Typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains express an established virulence factor belonging to the type IV pili family, called the bundle-forming pilus (BFP). BFP are present on the cell surface as bundled filamentous appendages, and are assembled and retracted by proteins encoded by the bfp operon. These proteins assemble to form a molecular machine. The BFP machine may be conceptually divided into three components: the cytoplasmic membrane (CM) subassembly, which is composed of CM proteins and cytoplasmic nucleotide-binding proteins; the outer membrane (OM) subassembly and the pilus itself. The authors have previously characterized the CM subassembly and the pilus. In this study, a more complete characterization of the OM subassembly was carried out using a combination of biochemical, biophysical and genetic approaches. It is reported that targeting of BfpG to the OM was influenced by the secretin BfpB. BfpG and BfpU interacted with the amino terminus of BfpB. BfpU had a complex cellular distribution pattern and, along with BfpB and BfpG, was part of the OM subassembly.
