EC 1.17.99.2 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.17.99.2

Accepted name

ethylbenzene hydroxylase

Reaction

ethylbenzene + H₂O + acceptor = (S)-1-phenylethanol + reduced acceptor

Other name(s)

ethylbenzene dehydrogenase, ethylbenzene:(acceptor) oxidoreductase

Systematic name

ethylbenzene:acceptor oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

372947-56-3

Comment

Involved in the anaerobic catabolism of ethylbenzene by denitrifying bacteria. Ethylbenzene is the preferred substrate; the enzyme from some strains oxidizes propylbenzene, 1-ethyl-4-fluorobenzene, 3-methylpent-2-ene and ethylidenecyclohexane. Toluene is not oxidized. p-Benzoquinone or ferrocenium can act as electron acceptor. Contains molybdopterin, [4Fe-4S] clusters and heme b.
