Abstract
A gene, fdxP, was identified upstream of the rrnA gene in Caulobacter crescentus and shown to encode ferredoxin II (FdII) by insertional inactivation. FdII is homologous to a class of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins typified by putidaredoxin. Furthermore, reconstitution assays demonstrated that FdII was able to promote p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase activity in ferredoxin-depleted extracts. Thus, biodegradation of p-hydroxybenzoate may be ferredoxin dependent in C. crescentus.Entities:
