J Bacteriol 1998, 180:1354-1359. The gene for 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone dehalogenase, linD, has a low level of similarity to the glutathione S-transferase superfamily, and activity in crude extracts is stimulated 3.7-fold by glutathione. This enzyme may be similar to tetrachlorohydroquinone dehalogenase from Sphingomonas chlorophenolica, whose mechanism has been studied in detail.

J Bacteriol 1997, 179:4232-4238. This work addresses the function of a 2-haloacid dehalogenase that can dehalogenate both D- and L-2-haloacids, and demonstrates that the enzyme has a single and common active site for dehalogenation of both enantiomers. Catalytically important residues were identified by site-directed mutagenesis of residues conserved between this enzyme and a homologue.

The genes for the DM4 and DM11 versions of for dichloromethane dehalogenase were cloned into a dcmA mutant of Methylobacterium sp. strain DM4 in order to allow comparison of the effects of these two genes on bacterial competitiveness in the same genetic background. The competitiveness of Methylobacterium sp. strain DM4 and Methylophilus sp. strain DM11 were also examined.

J Am Chem Soc 1997, 119: 11337-11338. This paper shows that the mechanism of tetrachlorohydroquinone dehalogenase involves attack of Cys13 upon a glutathione conjugate to form a mixed disulfide at the active site, which subsequently undergoes a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction with glutathione to form glutathione disulfide and regenerate the free enzyme.

This paper describes the first pure culture of an anareobic microorganism (Dehalococcoides ethenogenes 195) that is capable of reducing tetrachloroethene, a toxic and potentially carcinogenic groundwater contaminant, to ethene. Previous isolates converted tetrachloroethene only as far as cis-dichloroethene.
