IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.14.13.58

Accepted name: benzoyl-CoA 3-monooxygenase

Reaction: benzoyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA + NADP+ + H2O

Other name(s): benzoyl-CoA 3-hydroxylase

Systematic name: benzoyl-CoA,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)

Comments: the enzyme from the denitrifying bacterium Pseudomonas KB740 catalyses a flavin-requiring reaction (FAD or FMN). Benzoate is not a substrate.
