Other name(s): 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA lyase/hydrolase (deformylating); BoxC; dihydrodiol transforming enzyme; benzoyl-CoA oxidation component C; 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA 3,4-didehydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde-lyase (formate-forming); benzoyl-CoA-dihydrodiol lyase (incorrect); 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA 3,4-didehydroadipyl-CoA-semialdehyde-lyase (formate-forming)
Systematic name: 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzoyl-CoA 3,4-didehydroadipyl-CoA-semialdehyde-lyase (formate-forming)
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the aerobic benzoyl-CoA catabolic pathway of the bacterium Azoarcus evansii. The enzyme converts 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl-CoA to its oxepin form prior to the ring-opening and the formation of a dialdehyde intermediate.
