Abstract
Rieske-type non-heme iron oxygenases (ROs) are an important family of non-heme iron enzymes. They catalyze a diverse range of transformations in secondary metabolite biosynthesis and xenobiotic bioremediation. ROs typically shuttle electrons from NAD(P)H to the oxygenase component via reductase component(s). This chapter describes our recent biochemical characterization of stachydrine demethylase Stc2 from Sinorhizobium meliloti. In this work, the eosin Y/sodium sulfite pair serves as the photoreduction system to replace the NAD(P)H-reductase system. We describe Stc2 protein purification and quality control details as well as a flow-chemistry to separate the photo-reduction half-reaction and the oxidation half-reaction. Our study demonstrates that the eosin Y/sodium sulfite photo-reduction pair is a NAD(P)H-reductase surrogate for Stc2-catalysis in a flow-chemistry setting. Experimental protocols used in this light-driven Stc2 catalysis are likely to be applicable as a photo-reduction system for other redox enzymes.
