Disease relevance of xylC

  • The predicted protein sequence exhibits significant homology to eukaryotic aldehyde dehydrogenases (ADHs) and to the products of two other Pseudomonas catabolic genes, i.e. xylC and alkH [1].
  • This confirms the interpretation of the N-terminal sequence comparisons and also indicates that benzaldehyde dehydrogenase I from Acinetobacter may be related to the other two benzaldehyde dehydrogenases [2].
 

High impact information on xylC

 

Biological context of xylC

  • Between the promoter of the operon and xylC, there is a 1.7-kilobase-long space of DNA in which no gene function was identified [5].
  • Assays of cell-free extracts of 7/167 and 8/46 demonstrated activity of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase, benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase, and benzaldehyde dehydrogenase, indicating that the isolates use the meta-cleavage pathway enzymes of toluene degradation typical of TOL type plasmids [6].
 

Associations of xylC with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of xylC

  • In contrast, most of the DNA between xylC and xylN consists of coding sequences [5].
