| Popis | Haloalkane dehalogenases are known as bacterial enzymes cleaving a carbon-halogen bond in halogenated compounds. Here we report the first biochemically characterized non-microbial haloalkane dehalogenase DspA from Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The enzyme shows a preference for terminally brominated hydrocarbons and enantioselectivity towards beta-brominated alkanes. Moreover, we identified other putative dehalogenases of eukaryotic origin, representing targets for future experiments to discover dehalogenases with novel catalytic properties. |
