DE   2,4-dinitrotoluene dioxygenase.
CA   2,4-dinitrotoluene + NADH + O(2) = 4-methyl-5-nitrocatechol + nitrite +
CA   NAD(+).
CC   -!- This enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Burkholderia sp. strain
CC       DNT, is a member of the naphthalene family of bacterial Rieske non-
CC       heme iron dioxygenases.
CC   -!- It comprises a multicomponent system, containing a Rieske [2Fe-2S]
CC       ferredoxin, an NADH-dependent flavoprotein reductase (EC 1.18.1.3),
CC       and an alpha-3-beta-3 oxygenase.
CC   -!- The enzyme forms a cis-dihydroxylated product that spontaneously
CC       rearranges to form a catechol with accompanying release of nitrite.
CC   -!- It does not act on nitrobenzene.
CC   -!- Cf. EC 1.14.12.23.
