EC number
1.13.11.72
Accepted name
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase
Reaction
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + O2 = hydroxymethylphosphonate + formate
Other name(s)
HEPD, phpD (gene name), 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate:O2 1,2-oxidoreductase (hydroxymethylphosphonate forming)
Systematic name
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (hydroxymethylphosphonate-forming)
Comment
Requires non-heme-Fe(II). Isolated from some bacteria including Streptomyces hygroscopicus and Streptomyces viridochromogenes. The pro-R hydrogen at C-2 of the ethyl group is retained by the formate ion. Any stereochemistry at C-1 of the ethyl group is lost. One atom from dioxygen is present in each product.
