Enzyme Information

1.13.11.72
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate dioxygenase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q5IW40
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + O(2) = hydroxymethylphosphonate + formate.
-!- Isolated from some bacteria including Streptomyces hygroscopicus and Streptomyces viridochromogenes. -!- The pro-R hydrogen at C-2 of the ethyl group is retained by the formate ion. -!- Any stereochemistry at C-1 of the ethyl group is lost. -!- One atom from dioxygen is present in each product. -!- Involved in phosphinothricin biosynthesis.
