Glossary: 2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde = (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate
Other name(s): 2,3-pyrocatechase; catechol 2,3-oxygenase; catechol oxygenase; metapyrocatechase; pyrocatechol 2,3-dioxygenase; xylE (gene name); catechol:oxygen 2,3-oxidoreductase (decyclizing)
Systematic name: catechol:oxygen 2,3-oxidoreductase (ring-opening)
Comments: Requires FeII. The enzyme initiates the meta-cleavage pathway of catechol degradation.
