In this study, the enzymes involved in 2-EHN degradation were investigated in Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2173. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and a shotgun proteomic approach, a total of 398 proteins appeared to be more abundant in cells exposed to 2-EHN than in acetate-grown cells. This set of proteins includes multiple isoenzymes of the beta-oxidation pathway, two alcohol and one aldehyde dehydrogenase, as well as four cytochromes P450, including one CYP153 which functions as an alkane hydroxylase. Strain IFP 2173 was also found to contain two alkB-like genes encoding putative membrane-bound alkane hydroxylases. RT-PCR experiments showed that the gene encoding the CYP153 protein, as well as alkB genes, were expressed on 2-EHN. These findings are discussed in the light of a recently proposed 2-EHN degradation pathway involving an initial attack by an alkane hydroxylase and one turn of beta-oxidation, leading to the accumulation of a gamma-lactone as a deadend product.
