Protein
Chloroacetanilide N-alkylformylase, oxygenase component
Organism
Sphingomonas wittichii (strain DC-6 / KACC 16600)
Function
Component of the chloroacetanilide N-alkylformylase multicomponent enzyme system involved in the degradation of chloroacetanilide herbicides (N-alkoxyalkyl-N-chloroacetyl-substituted aniline derivatives). In vitro, catalyzes the N-dealkylation of butachlor, alachlor and acetochlor to yield 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acetamide (CDEPA) (for alachlor and butachlor) and 2-chloro-N-(2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl)acetamide (CMEPA) (for acetochlor).
