Part of the oxygenase component of the biphenyl dioxygenase system that catalyzes the stereospecific dihydroxylation of the aromatic ring of biphenyl, yielding a dihydrodiol compound. Is essential for biphenyl degradation and growth of Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1 on biphenyl as the sole source of carbon and energy. Can also use naphtalene and 4-chlorobiphenyl (4-CB) as substrates, as well as some polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) such as 2,2'-dichlorobiphenyl, 2,3-dichlorobiphenyl and 2,5,2'-trichlorobiphenyl. Exhibits weak activity toward dibenzofuran and dibenzo-p-dioxin. Electrons are transferred from NADH to the [2Fe-2S] cluster in BphA1 via FAD of BphA4 and [2Fe-2S] cluster of BphA3.

Belongs to the bacterial ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase alpha subunit family.
