EC 1.14.14.20 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
1.14.14.20
Accepted name
phenol 2-monooxygenase (FADH2)
Reaction
phenol + FADH2 + O2 = catechol + FAD + H2O
Other name(s)
pheA1 (gene name)
Systematic name
phenol,FADH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating)
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the ortho-hydroxylation of simple phenols into the corresponding catechols. It accepts 4-methylphenol, 4-chlorophenol, and 4-fluorophenol [1] as well as 4-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, and resorcinol [3]. The enzyme is part of a two-component system that also includes an NADH-dependent flavin reductase. It is strictly dependent on FADH2 and does not accept FMNH2 [1,3]. cf. EC 1.14.13.7, phenol 2-monooxygenase (NADPH).
