Popis: Summary Xenobiotic transformation by Streptomyces griseus (ATCC13273) is catalysed by a cytochrome P-450, designated cytochrome P-450soy A DNA segment carrying the structural gene encoding P-450soy (soyC) was cloned using an oligonucleotide probe constructed from the protein sequence of a tryptic peptide. Following DNA sequencing the deduced amino acid sequence of P-450soy was compared with that for P-450cam, revealing conservation of important structural components including the haem pocket. Expression of the cloned soyC gene product was demonstrated in Streptomyces lividans by reduced CO:difference spectral analysis and Western blotting. Downstream of soyC, a gene encoding a putative [3Fe-4S] ferredoxin (soyB), named ferredoxinsoy, was identified.
