An (R)-trans-2,3-enoylacyl-CoA hydratase was purified to near-homogeneity fromRhodospirillum rubrum. Protein sequencing of enriched protein fractions allowed the construction of a degenerate oligonucleotide. The gene encoding the (R)-specific hydratase activity was cloned following three rounds of colony hybridization using the oligonucleotide, and overexpression of the gene inE. coliled to the purification of the enzyme to homogeneity. The purified enzyme used crotonyl-CoA,trans-2,3-pentenoyl-CoA, andtrans-2,3-hexenoyl-CoA with approximately equal specificity as substrates in the hydration reaction. However, no activity was observed usingtrans-2,3-octenoyl-CoA as a substrate, but this compound did partially inhibit crotonyl-CoA hydration. Based on the nucleotide sequence, the protein has a monomeric molecular weight of 15.4 kDa and is a homotetramer in its native form as determined by gel filtration chromatography and native PAGE. The hydratase was expressed together with the PHA synthase fromThiocapsa pfennigiiinE. colistrain DH5α. Growth of these strains on oleic acid resulted in the production of the terpolyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).
