Abstract

The cDNA encoding vanillyl-alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.7) was selected from a cDNA library constructed from mRNA isolated from Penicillium simplicissimum CBS 170.90 grown on veratryl alcohol by immunochemical screening. The vaoA-cDNA nucleotide sequence revealed an open reading frame of 1680 base pairs encoding a 560-amino acid protein with a deduced mass of 62,915 Da excluding the covalently bound FAD. The deduced primary structure shares 31% sequence identity with the 8alpha-(O-tyrosyl)-FAD containing subunit of the bacterial flavocytochrome p-cresol methyl hydroxylase. The vaoA gene was isolated from a P. simplicissimum genomic library constructed in lambdaEMBL3 using the vaoA-cDNA as a probe. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of the vaoA gene with the cDNA nucleotide sequence demonstrated that the gene is interrupted by five short introns. Aspergillus niger NW156 prtF pyrA leuA cspA transformed with the pyrA containing plasmid and a plasmid harboring the complete vaoA gene including the promoter and terminator was able to produce vaoA mRNA and active vanillyl-alcohol oxidase when grown on veratryl alcohol and anisyl alcohol. A similar induction of the vaoA gene was found for P. simplicissimum, indicating that similar regu...Continue Reading
