- Abstract
During the microbial degradation of borneol, a bicyclic plant monoterpene, it is first converted into camphor by borneol dehydrogenase (BDH) and then enters a known camphor‐degradation pathway. Previously, a recombinant Pseudomonas BDH was found in inclusion bodies when expressed in Escherichia coli. After refolding, it was still unstable and was difficult to concentrate. Here, the protein‐expression conditions were improved by changing the medium from lysogeny broth to Terrific Broth, yielding a soluble form of the enzyme with higher activity. The protein was crystallized and its 3D structure was determined by X‐ray diffraction. Like other known homologues such as quinuclidinone reductase, the protein forms a tetramer with subunits containing Rossmann folds. Structural comparison revealed major differences in the C‐terminal helices and the associated loops. It is likely that these regions contain the determinants for substrate recognition.
