Accepted name: |

Other name(s): |
benzoyl-CoA dioxygenase/reductase (incorrect); BoxBA; BoxA/BoxB system; benzoyl-CoA 2,3-dioxygenase (incorrect) |
Systematic name: |
benzoyl-CoA,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-epoxydizing) |
Comments: |
The enzyme is involved in aerobic benzoate metabolism in Azoarcus evansii. BoxB functions as the oxygenase part of benzoyl-CoA oxygenase in conjunction with BoxA, the reductase component, which upon binding of benzoyl-CoA, transfers two electrons to the ring in the course of monooxygenation. BoxA is a homodimeric 46 kDa iron-sulfur-flavoprotein (FAD), BoxB is a monomeric iron-protein [1]. |
