EC 1.14.11.46

Accepted name: 2-aminoethylphosphonate dioxygenase

Reaction: (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = (2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)phosphonate + succinate + CO2

Other name(s): phnY (gene name)

Systematic name: (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating)

Comments: Requires Fe2+ and ascorbate. The enzyme, characterized from an uncultured marine bacterium, is involved in a (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate degradation pathway.
