Biochemical characterization of NADH:FMN oxidoreductase HcbA3 from Nocardioides sp. PD653 in catalyzing aerobic HCB dechlorination.

ABSTRACT: Nocardioides sp. PD653 genes hcbA1, hcbA2, and hcbA3 encode enzymes that catalyze the oxidative dehalogenation of hexachlorobenzene (HCB), which is one of the most recalcitrant persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In this study, HcbA1, HcbA2, and HcbA3 were heterologously expressed and characterized. Among the flavin species tested, HcbA3 showed the highest affinity for FMN with a K _d value of 0.75±0.17 µM. Kinetic assays revealed that HcbA3 followed a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism for the reduction of flavins. The K _m for NADH and FMN was 51.66±11.58 µM and 4.43±0.69 µM, respectively. For both NADH and FMN, the V _max and k _cat were 2.21±0.86 µM and 66.74±5.91 sec^-1, respectively. We
