The 3-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (MHBH) from Comamonas testosteroni, KH122-3s is a single-component flavoprotein monooxygenase, a member of the, glutathione reductase (GR) family. It catalyzes the conversion of, 3-hydroxybenzoate to 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate with concomitant requirements, for equimolar amounts of NADPH and molecular oxygen. The production of, dihydroxy-benzenoid derivative by hydroxylation is the first step in the, aerobic degradation of various phenolic compounds in soil microorganisms., To establish the structural basis for substrate recognition, the crystal, structure of MHBH in complex with its substrate was determined at 1.8 A, resolution. The enzyme is shown to form a physiologically active homodimer, with crystallographic 2-fold symmetry, in which each subunit consists of, the first two domains comprising an active site and the C-terminal domain, involved in oligomerization. The protein fold of the catalytic domains and, the active-site architecture, including the FAD and substrate-binding, sites, are similar to those of 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (PHBH) and, phenol hydroxylase (PHHY), which are members of the GR family, providing, evidence that the flavoprotein aromatic hydroxylases share similar, catalytic actions for hydroxylation of the respective substrates., Structural comparison of MHBH with the homologous enzymes suggested that a, large tunnel connecting the substrate-binding pocket to the protein, surface serves for substrate transport in this enzyme. The internal space, of the large tunnel is distinctly divided into hydrophilic and hydrophobic, regions. The characteristically stratified environment in the tunnel, interior and the size of the entrance would allow the enzyme to select its, substrate by amphiphilic nature and molecular size. In addition, the, structure of the Xe-derivative at 2.5 A resolution led to the, identification of a putative oxygen-binding site adjacent to the, substrate-binding pocket. The hydrophobic nature of the xenon-binding site, extends to the solvent through the tunnel, suggesting that the tunnel, could be involved in oxygen transport.
