EC | 3.1.1.122 | ||
Accepted name: | carbendazim hydrolysing esterase | ||
Reaction: | carbendazim + H2O = 2-aminobenzimidazole + CO2 + methanol (overall reaction) (1a) carbendazim + H2O = N-(1H-1,3-benzodiazol-2-yl)carbamate + methanol (1b) N-(1H-1,3-benzodiazol-2-yl)carbamate = 2-aminobenzimidazole + CO2 (spontaneous) |
||
Glossary: | carbendazim = methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate; 2-aminobenzimidazole = 1H-benzimidazol-2-amine | ||
Other name(s): | mheI (gene name) | ||
Systematic name: | carbendazim methanol hydrolase (decarboxylating) | ||
Comments: | The enzyme, which is inducible in the soil bacterium Nocardioides sp. (strain SG-4G), catalyses the degradation of the fungicide carbendazim. Following hydrolysis of the carbamate ester, the carbamate decarboxylates spontaneously. | ||
