Abstract
Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from the meta-cleavage pathway encoded on the TOL plasmid of Pseudomonas putida (pWWO) was investigated by electron microscopy. Negatively stained samples of the purified catechol 2,3-dioxygenase revealed that the enzyme consists of four subunits arranged in a tetrahedral conformation. Monoclonal antibodies raised against catechol 2,3-dioxygenase showed highly specific reactions and were used to localize the enzyme in Escherichia coli (pAW31) and P. putida (pWWO), using the protein A-gold technique carried out as a post-embedding immunoelectron microscopy procedure. Our in situ labeling studies revealed a cytoplasmic location of the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase in both cell types.Entities:
