Caprolactamase is the first enzyme in the caprolactam degradation pathway of Pseudomonas jessenii. It is composed of two subunits (CapA and Cap and sequence-related to other ATP-dependent enzymes involved in lactam hydrolysis, like 5-oxoprolinases and hydantoinases. Low sequence similarity also exists with ATP-dependent acetone- and acetophenone carboxylases. The caprolactamase was produced in Escherichia coli, isolated by His-tag affinity chromatography, and subjected to functional and structural studies. Activity toward caprolactam required ATP and was
