Abstract excerpt
(R)- and (S)-dichlorprop/alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenases (RdpA and SdpA) catalyze the oxidative cleavage of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid (dichlorprop) and 2-(4-chloro-2-methyl-phenoxy)propanoic acid (mecoprop) to form pyruvate plus the corresponding phenol concurrent with the conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) to succinate plus CO2. RdpA and SdpA are strictly enantiospecific, converting only...
