Reaction: 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA + H2O = 4-hydroxybenzoyl CoA + chloride
Systematic name: 4-chlorobenzoyl CoA chlorohydrolase
Comments: specific for dehalogenation at the 4-position. Can dehalogenate substrates bearing fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine in the 4-position. This enzyme is part of the bacterial 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation pathway.
