Bacterial quinoprotein dehydrogenases signatures


Description

Pyrrolo-quinoline quinone (PQQ) is redox coenzyme, which serves as a cofactor for a number of enzymes (quinoproteins) and particularly for some bacterial dehydrogenases [1,2]. A number of these bacterial quinoproteins are clearly evolutionary related. These proteins are listed below.

  • Methanol dehydrogenases (MDH) (EC 1.1.99.8), from methylotrophs.
  • Ethanol dehydrogenases from Acetobacter aceti [3].
  • Glucose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.5.2) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Escherichia coli, and Gluconobacter oxydans [4].

These dehydrogenases all have from 600 to 800 amino acids. We developed two signature patterns for these proteins using sequence data from well conserved regions: the first one is located in the N-terminal half while the second one is from the C-terminal half.
