EC | 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 | ||
Glossary: | butachlor = N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acetamide acetochlor = N-(ethoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl,6-methylphenyl)acetamide alachlor = N-(methoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acetamide |
||
Other name(s): | cndA (gene name) | ||
Systematic name: | butachlor,ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (butyl formate-releasing) | ||
Comments: | 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. | ||
