EC 4.8.1.2     
Accepted name: aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase
Reaction: an aliphatic aldoxime = an aliphatic nitrile + H2O
Other name(s): OxdA; aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase
Systematic name: aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase (aliphatic-nitrile-forming)
Comments: The enzyme from Pseudomonas chlororaphis contains Ca2+ and protoheme IX, the iron of which must be in the form iron(II) for activity. The enzyme exhibits a strong preference for aliphatic aldoximes, such as butyraldoxime and acetaldoxime, over aromatic aldoximes, such as pyridine-2-aldoxime, which is a poor substrate. No activity was found with the aromatic aldoximes benzaldoxime and pyridine-4-aldoxime.
