EC 4.1.1.119 Details
EC number
4.1.1.119
Accepted name
phenylacetate decarboxylase
Reaction
phenylacetate = toluene + CO2
Other name(s)
phdB (gene name)
Systematic name
phenylacetate carboxy-lyase
Comment
This bacterial enzyme, isolated from anoxic, toluene-producing microbial communities, is a glycyl radical enzyme. It needs to be activated by a dedicated activating enzyme (PhdA). The activase catalyses the reductive cleavage of AdoMet, producing a 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical that leads to the production of the glycyl radical in PhdB.
