Abstract
Haloperoxidase (HPO, E.C.1.11.1.7) is a metal-containing enzyme oxidizing halonium species,
which can be used in the synthesis of halogenated organic compounds, for instance in the
production of antimicrobial agents, cosmetics, etc., in the presence of halides and H2O2. To
isolate and evaluate a novel non-metal HPO using a culture-independent method, a cassette
PCR library was constructed from marine seawater in Japan. We first isolated a novel HPO
gene from Pseudomonas putida ATCC11172 by PCR for constructing the chimeric HPO library
(HPO11172). HPO11172 showed each single open-reading frame of 828 base pairs coding for
276 amino acids, respectively, and showed 87% similarity with P. putida IF-3 sequences.
Approximately 600 transformants screened for chimeric genes between P. putida ATCC11173
and HPO central fragments were able to identify 113 active clones. Among them, we finally
isolated 20 novel HPO genes. Sequence analyses of the obtained 20 clones showed higher
homology genes with P. putida or Sinorhizobium or Streptomyces strains. Although the HPO A9
clone showed the lowest homology with HPO11172, clones in group B, including CS19,
showed a relatively higher homology of 80%, with 70% identy. E. coli cells expressing these
HPO chimeric genes were able to successfully bioconvert chlorodimedone with KBr or KCl as
substrate.
