EC 1.14.12.21 Details
EC number
1.14.12.21
Accepted name
benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase
Reaction
benzoyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA + NADP+
Other name(s)
benzoyl-CoA dioxygenase/reductase, BoxBA, BoxA/BoxB system
Systematic name
benzoyl-CoA,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-hydroxylating)
Comment
The enzyme is involved in aerobic benzoate metabolism in Azoarcus evansii. BoxB functions as the oxygenase part of benzoyl-CoA oxygenase in conjunction with BoxA, the reductase component, which upon binding of benzoyl-CoA, transfers two electrons to the ring in the course of dioxygenation. BoxA is a homodimeric 46 kDa iron-sulfur-flavoprotein (FAD), BoxB is a monomeric iron-protein [1].
