EC 1.14.15.23 Details
EC number
1.14.15.23
Accepted name
chloroacetanilide N-alkylformylase
Reaction
butachlor + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + O2 = 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acetamide + butyl formate + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H2O
Other name(s)
cndA (gene name)
Systematic name
butachlor,ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (butyl formate-releasing)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Sphingomonas sp. DC-6, initiates the degradation of several chloroacetanilide herbicides, including alachlor, acetochlor, and butachlor. The enzyme is a Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase, and requires a ferredoxin and EC 1.18.1.3, ferredoxin—NAD+ reductase, for activity.
