Carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase (CARDO) catalyzes the dihydroxylation of carbazole by angular position (C9a) carbon bonding to the imino nitrogen and its adjacent C1 carbon. CARDO consists of a terminal oxygenase component and two electron-transfer components: ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. The ferredoxin component of carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase from Nocardioides aromaticivorans IC177 was crystallized at 293 K using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method with ammonium sulfate as the precipitant. The crystals, which were improved by macroseeding, diffract to 2.0 A resolution and belong to space group P4(1)2(1)2.
咔唑-1,9a-双加氧酶(CARDO)通过角位(C9a)碳与亚氨基氮及其相邻的C1碳形成键合来催化咔唑的双羟基化反应。CARDO由一个末端加氧酶组分和两个电子传递组分组成:铁氧还蛋白和铁氧还蛋白还原酶。利用悬滴气相扩散法,以硫酸铵作为沉淀剂,对来自食芳烃诺卡氏菌IC177的咔唑-1,9a-双加氧酶的铁氧还蛋白组分在293 K下进行了结晶。通过宏观接种改善后的晶体,其衍射分辨率达到2.0 Å,属于空间群P4(1)2(1)2。
