Disease relevance of nahC

In this study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of nahC, the structural gene for 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase encoded in the NAH7 plasmid of Pseudomonas putida [1].

High impact information on nahC

Analysis of deduced amino acid sequence data of bphC1 revealed 36% sequence identity to nahC from Pseudomonas putida PpG7 (S. Harayama and M. Rekik, J. Biol. Chem. 264:15328-15333, 1989) and about 40% sequence identity to various bphC genes from different Pseudomonas and Rhodococcus strains [2].
The nucleotide sequence of the nahC gene encoding one of this pathway enzymes, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase, has been determined [3].
