Unusual ancestry of dehydratases associated with quinate catabolism in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1995

Elsemore D A, Ornston L N

Abstract excerpt

Catabolism of quinate to protocatechuate requires the consecutive action of quinate dehydrogenase (QuiA), dehydroquinate dehydratase (QuiB), and dehydroshikimate dehyratase (QuiC), Genes for catabolism of protocatechuate are encoded by the pca operon in the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus chromosome. Observations reported here demonstrate that A. calcoaceticus qui genes are clustered in the order quiBCXA directly...
