In the present study, we confirm that 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) oxygenase from Sphingomonas agrestis 58-1 belongs to the family of Rieske non-heme iron aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenases, which comprise a core enzyme (oxygenase), ferredoxin, and oxidoreductase. It has previously been shown that cadAB genes are necessary for the conversion of 2,4-D to 2,4-dichlorophenol; however, the respective roles of ferredoxin and oxidoreductase in the 2,4-D oxygenase system from S. agrestis 58-1 remain unknown. Using nucleotide sequence analysis of the plasmid pCADAB1 from Sphingomonas sp. ERG5, which degrades 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-D, Nielsen et al. identified orf95, upstream of cadA, and orf98, downstream of cadB, which were predicted and designated as cadD (oxidoreductase) and cadC (ferredoxin), respectively (Nielsen et al., PLoS One, 8, e83346, 2013). These designations were the result of sequence analysis; therefore, we constructed an expression system of CadABC and CadABCD in Escherichia coli and assayed their enzyme activities. Our findings indicate that CadC is essential for the activity of 2,4-D oxygenase and CadD promotes CadABC activity in recombinant E. coli cells.
