Abstract

An enzyme involved in the catabolism of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) was isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5. The enzyme catalyzes the formation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (DOPP) and ammonia from DOPA. Formation of ammonia by DOPA oxidative deaminase was O2dependent and the enzyme isolated to its homogeneity has 100% affinity for DOPA. DOPA oxidative deaminase is functional at low concentrations of the substrate (<100 μmol·L–1) and is independent of NADH. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme is ~190 kDa and the enzyme could be a pentamer of 54, 42, 34, 25, and 23 kDa subunits as determined by SDS–PAGE.
