Other name(s): | xylM (gene names); ntnM (gene names) | ||||||||
Systematic name: | methylbenzene,ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (methyl-hydroxylating) | ||||||||
Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from several Pseudomonas strains, catalyses the first step in the degradation of toluenes and xylenes. It has a broad substrate specificity and is also active with substituted compounds, such as chlorotoluenes. The electrons are provided by a reductase (EC 1.18.1.3, ferredoxin—NAD+ reductase) that transfers electrons from NADH via FAD and an [2Fe-2S] cluster. The enzyme can also act on its products, producing gem-diols that spontaneously dehydrate to form aldehydes. | ||||||||
