Aromatic amine dehydrogenase was purified and characterized from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans IFO13495 grown on β-phenylethylamine. The molecular mass of the enzyme was 95.5 kDa. The enzyme consisted of heterotetrameric subunits (α2β2) with two different molecular masses of 42.3 kDa and 15.2 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of the α-subunit (42.3-kDa subunit) and the β-subunit (15.2-kDa subunit) were DLPIEELXGGTRLPP and APAAGNKXPQMDDTA respectively. The enzyme had a quinone cofactor in the β-subunit and showed a typical absorption spectrum of tryptophan tryptophylquinone-containing quinoprotein showing maxima at 435 nm in the oxidized form and 330 nm in the reduced form. The pH optima of the enzyme activity for histamine, tyramine, and β-phenylethylamine were the same at 8.0. The enzyme retained full activity after incubation at 70 °C for 40 min. It readily oxidized various aromatic amines as well as some aliphatic amines. The Michaelis constants for phenazine methosulfate, β-phenylethylamine, tyramine, and histamine were 48.1, 1.8, 6.9, and 171 μM respectively. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by carbonyl reagents. The enzyme could be stored without appreciable loss of enzyme activity at 4 °C for one month at least in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0).
