Quercetinase (quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase, EC 1.13.11.24) is produced by various filamentous fungi when grown on rutin as the sole carbon and energy source. From a rutin based liquid culture of Penicillium olsonii, we purified a quercetinase with a specific activity of 175 U mg(-1). The enzyme is a monomeric glycoprotein of approximately 55 kDa, containing 0.9 +/- 0.1 copper atoms per protein. Its substrate specificity is restricted to the flavonol family of flavonoids. It is completely inhibited by diethyidithiocarbamate at a concentration of 100 nM and 1H-2-benzyl-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinolin is a competitive inhibitor with a K-1 of 4 mu M. The cDNA poquerl was cloned and sequenced. It encodes a 365 amino acids long enzyme with a strong sequence identity with the Aspergillus japonicus quercetinase (Q7SIC2). Like the enzyme from A. japonicus, only one of the two cupin domains of the Penicillium olsonii quercetinase is able to bind a metal atom. (C) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
