EC 2.7.1.238 Details
EC number
2.7.1.238
Accepted name
phenol phosphorylase
Reaction
ATP + phenol + H2O = AMP + phenyl phosphate + phosphate
Other name(s)
phenylphosphate synthase
Systematic name
ATP:phenol phosphotransferase (AMP-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Thauera aromatica, catalyses the first step in an anaerobic phenol degradation pathway. The enzyme, composed of three subunits, transfers the β-phosphoryl from ATP to phenol, forming phenyl phosphate, AMP, and phosphate [1]. During catalysis a diphosphoryl group is transferred from ATP to a histidine residue in one of the enzyme's subunits, from which phosphate is cleaved to render the reaction unidirectional. The remaining histidine phosphate subsequently serves as the actual phosphorylation agent [2].
