The reductase component of the chromosomally encoded benzoate dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida C-1 is immunologically homologous with a product of the plasmid encoded xyl D gene (toluate dioxygenase) from Pseudomonas putida mt-2

Abstract

The reductase component of the TOL plasmid encoded toluate dioxygenase was shown to immuno-cross-react with polyclonal antibodies raised against the chromosomally encoded benzoate dioxygenase reductase from Pseudomonas putida C-1. Anti-reductase antibodies did not cross-react with any component of the benzene or naphthalene dioxygenases.
