ID   1.14.15.23
DE   chloroacetanilide N-alkylformylase.
CA   butachlor + 2 H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = butyl formate
CA   + H2O + N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-
CA   [ferredoxin].
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Sphingomonas sp. DC-6,
CC       initiates the degradation of several chloroacetanilide herbicides,
CC       including alachlor, acetochlor, and butachlor.
CC   -!- The enzyme is a Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase, and requires a
CC       ferredoxin and EC 1.18.1.3 for activity.
