PedH is a periplasmic PQQ-dependent quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase
"PedH belongs to a family of periplasmic **quinoprotein** alcohol dehydrogenases that use the redox cofactor **PQQ** to catalyze oxidation of alcohols (and in some cases aldehydes)."
-
PedH and its paralog PedE form a periplasmic oxidation system for volatile alcohols/aldehydes
"In *P. putida* KT2440, PedH and its paralog PedE constitute a **periplasmic oxidation system** important for detoxification and catabolism of volatile alcohols/aldehydes."
-
PedH is catalytically active only in the presence of trivalent lanthanides
"PedH is catalytically active **only in the presence of trivalent lanthanides (Ln3+)** and is inactive with several tested heavy lanthanides/other trivalent metals."
-
Peak lanthanide-dependent activity is observed with Pr3+ and Nd3+
"activity was observed with light-to-mid lanthanides such as **La3+, Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Gd3+, Tb3+**"
-
A conserved active-site Asp (vs Ser in PedE) confers lanthanide coordination
"PedH contains a **conserved active-site Asp** (contrasting with a Ser in PedE) that is associated with **Ln3+ coordination** in lanthanide-dependent quinoprotein dehydrogenases."
-
pedE and pedH expression is inversely regulated by lanthanide (REE) availability via the PedS2/PedR2 two-component system
"the REE switch is orchestrated by the **PedS2/PedR2** two-component system"
-
A pedH deletion strain fails to grow on 2-phenylethanol when lanthanides force dependence on PedH
"a **ΔpedH** strain fails to grow on 2-phenylethanol under conditions where the REE switch represses reliance on PedE"
-
PedH/PedE dehydrogenate (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol to acetoin
"PedH and PedE were confirmed as the enzymes responsible for dehydrogenation of **(2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol to acetoin**, feeding acetoin into central metabolism via the acetoin dehydrogenase complex."
