EC 1.14.13.167     
Accepted name: 4-nitrophenol 4-monooxygenase
Reaction: 4-nitrophenol + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 1,4-benzoquinone + nitrite + NADP+ + H2O

Other name(s): pnpA (gene name); pdcA (gene name)
Systematic name: 4-nitrophenol,NAD(P)H:oxygen 4-oxidoreductase (4-hydroxylating, nitrite-forming)
Comments: Contains FAD. The enzyme catalyses the first step in a degradation pathway for 4-nitrophenol, the oxidation of 4-nitrophenol at position 4 with the concomitant removal of the nitro group as nitrite. The enzyme from the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain WBC-3 also catalyses EC 1.14.13.166, 4-nitrocatechol 4-monooxygenase.
