To find new extradiol dioxygenases(EDOs, EC 1.13.11.2), a metagenomics library was constructed from polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soil and was screened for some dioxygenase with aromatic ring cleavage activity. A novel EDO, designated as BphC_A, was identified and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The deduced amino acid sequence of BphC_A exhibited a homology of less than 60% with other known EDOs. Phylogenetic analysis of BphC_A suggests that the protein is a novel member of the EDO family. The enzyme exhibits higher substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency toward 3-methylcatechol than toward 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl or catechol, the preferred substrate of other known EDOs. The optimum activity of purified BphC_A occurred at pH=8.5 and 35 °C, and BphC_A showed more than 40% of its initial activity at 5 °C. The activity of purified BphC_A was significantly induced by Mn^(2+) and slightly reduced by Al^(3+), Cu^(2+) and Zn^(2+).
