Sysname
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (hydroxymethylphosphonate-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + O2 = hydroxymethylphosphonate + formate [RN:
R08864 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Requires non-heme-iron(II). 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.
