Common Name2,5-dihydroxypyridine
Description2,5-dihydroxypyridine is a pyridine derivative and belongs to the class of heterocyclic organic compounds. Its chemical structure features a pyridine ring with hydroxyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions, which contributes to its reactivity and biological interactions. This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, notably as a ligand for the NdpR protein, where it inhibits NdpR from binding to the promoter regions of genes such as ndpASAL, ndpTB, and ndpHFEGD (PMID:37071026 ). Additionally, 2,5-dihydroxypyridine serves as an effector molecule for NdpR, influencing its binding dynamics to DNA (PMID:37071026 ). The biodegradation of 2,5-dihydroxypyridine is catalyzed by 2,5-dihydroxypyridine dioxygenase (NicX) from Pseudomonas putida KT2440, which utilizes a mononuclear non-heme iron to cleave the pyridine ring, converting it into N-formylmaleamic acid (NFM) (PMID:36469460 , PMID:35060702 , PMID:33637718 ). The enzyme's activity is linked to the ocnE gene, which is essential for the function of the dioxygenase (PMID:32841574 ).
