EC 1.13.11.89

Accepted name: hydroxymethylphosphonate dioxygenase

Reaction: (hydroxymethyl)phosphonate + O2 = formate + phosphate

Other name(s): phnZ1 (gene name)

Systematic name: hydroxymethylphosphonate:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase (formate-forming)

Comments: Requires iron(II). The enzyme, characterized from the marine bacterium Gimesia maris, participates in a methylphosphonate degradation pathway. It also has the activity of EC 1.13.11.78, (2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)phosphonate dioxygenase (glycine-forming).
