The oxygenases have attracted considerable attention in enzyme-mediated bioremediation of xenobiotic compounds due to their high specificity, cost-effectiveness, and targeted field applications. Here, we performed a functional metagenomics approach to cope with culturability limitations to isolate a novel extradiol dioxygenase. Fosmid clone harboring dioxygenase gene was sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatics tools. One ring-cleaving dioxygenase RW4-MPC (metapyrocatechase) was purified and characterized to examine its degradation efficiency. The RW4-MPC was significantly active in the temperature and pH range of 5 to 40 °C, and 7-10, respectively, with an optimum temperature of 25 °C and pH 8. To gain insight into observed differential activity, Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) data of the protein samples were analyzed, which brought forth that the RW4-MPC molecules form tight globular tetramers in solution. This native association was stable till 35 °C, and protein started to associate at higher temperatures, explaining heat-induced loss of function. Similarly, RW4-MPC aggregated or lost globular profile below pH 7 or at pH 10, respectively. The kinetic parameters showed the six folds high catalytic efficiency of RW4-MPC towards 2,3-dihydroxy biphenyl than catechol and its derivatives. RW4-MPC molecules showed remarkable retention of functionality in hypersaline conditions with more than 70% activity in a buffer having 3 M NaCl concentration. In concordance, SAXS data analysis showed retention of functional shape profile in hypersaline conditions. The halotolerant and oxygen insensitive nature of this enzyme makes it a potential candidate for bioremediation.
