Abstract
We have cloned fragments of DNA (up to 13 kb), from Pseudomonas putida AJ1, that code for two stereospecific haloalkanoate dehalogenases. These enzymes are highly specific for D and L substrates. The two genes, designated hadD and hadL, have been isolated and independently expressed in Escherichia coli and P. putida hosts by using broad-host-range vectors. They are closely adjacent and inducible in what appears to be an operon with an upstream open reading frame of unknown function. Nucleotide sequence determination of hadD predicts a mature, cytoplasmic protein of 300 amino acid residues (molecular weight of 33,601). This has no significant homology with the L-specific haloalkanoate dehalogenases from Pseudomonas sp. strain CBS3 (B. Schneider, R. Muller, R. Frank, and F. Lingens, J. Bacteriol. 173:1530-1535, 1991) nor with any other known DNA or protein sequences.
