Sysname
2-(methylaminoethyl)phosphonate:acceptor oxidoreductase (phosphonoacetaldehyde-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
2-(methylaminoethyl)phosphonate + acceptor + H2O = phosphonoacetaldehyde + methylamine + reduced acceptor [RN:
R13438 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
phosphonoacetaldehyde [CPD:
C03167 ];
methylamine [CPD:
C00218 ];
reduced acceptor [CPD:
C00030 ]
Comment
Contains FAD. The enzyme from the bacterium Azospirillum sp. B510 reacts about tenfold less efficiently with 2-(ethylaminoethyl)phosphonate and about 400-fold less efficiently with (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate. Oxygen is used poorly as an electron acceptor (at least 50-fold less efficiently than the artificial acceptor DCPIP). The physiological electron acceptor is unknown.
