Function
Involved in the degradation of the phenoxypropionate herbicides. Catalyzes the enantiospecific cleavage of the ether bond in the herbicid S-dichlorprop ((S)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate)(S-2,4-DP) and S-mecoprop ((S)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionate)(S-2,4-MCPP). It can also accept (RS)-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propionate, (RS)-2-(m-chlorophenoxy)propionate and phenoxyacetate derivatives such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D), however it can only accept 2-oxoglutarate as oxygen acceptor.
