Alcaligenes sp. strain NyZ215 was isolated for its ability to grow on ortho-nitrophenol (ONP) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy and was shown to degrade ONP via a catechol ortho-cleavage pathway. A 10,152-bp DNA fragment extending from a conserved region of the catechol 1,2-dioxygenase gene was obtained by genome walking. Of seven complete open reading frames deduced from this fragment, three (onpABC) have been shown to encode the enzymes involved in the initial reactions of ONP catabolism in this strain. OnpA, which shares 26% identity with salicylate 1-monooxygenase of Pseudomonas stutzeri AN10, is an ONP 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.31) which converts ONP to catechol in the presence of NADPH, with concomitant nitrite release. OnpC is a catechol 1,2-dioxygenase catalyzing the oxidation of catechol to cis,cis-muconic acid. OnpB exhibits 54% identity with the reductase subunit of vanillate O-demethylase in Pseudomonas fluorescens BF13. OnpAB (but not OnpA alone) conferred on the catechol utilizer Pseudomonas putida PaW340 the ability to grow on ONP. This suggests that OnpB may also be involved in ONP degradation in vivo as an o-benzoquinone reductase converting o-benzoquinone to catechol. This is analogous to the reduction of tetrachlorobenzoquinone to tetrachlorohydroquinone by a tetrachlorobenzoquinone reductase (PcpD, 38% identity with OnpB) in the pentachlorophenol degrader Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723.
