Microbial degradation is a natural means to combat ubiquitous, harmful and non-covalently bound plasticizers, phthalic acid esters (PAEs), due to their slower photo-degradation and hydrolysis rates. In microbial aerobic degradation of phthalates, phthalate dioxygenase system (PDS) belongs to a large family of Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases with type1A electron-transfer system. Two important proteins of this system include: phthalate dioxygenase reductase (PDR), a flavo-iron-sulfur protein having NADH-dependent oxidoreductase activity; and phthalate dioxygenase oxygenase (PDO), a non-heme iron protein with oxygenase activity. In the present study, phthalate dioxygenase reductase (RePDR) from Ralstonia eutropha CH34, has been cloned, expressed and purified. Further, in order to understand the interactions between RePDO and RePDR, protein-protein docking has been carried out. The homology model structures of the individual proteins served as an input for protein-protein interaction studies and helps in the prediction of complex structure. Important interface residues from both the individual counterparts, i.e. RePDO and RePDR have been identified and the evolutionary relationship between these important interface residues has also been established. Moreover, the stability of these interactions involving highly conserved interface residues, highlights their involvement in structurally conserved interactions and play significant role in phthalate degrading system.
