IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.5.4.43

Names

Accepted name:
hydroxydechloroatrazine ethylaminohydrolase
Other names:
atzB (gene name)
2,4-dihydroxy-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine ethylaminohydrolase
hydroxyatrazine hydrolase
Systematic name:
hydroxyatrazine ethylaminohydrolase

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

Contains Zn2+. This bacterial enzyme is involved in degradation of the herbicide atrazine. The enzyme has a broad substrate range, and requires a monohydroxylated S-triazine ring with a minimum of one primary or secondary amine substituent and either a chloride or amine leaving group. It catalyses both deamination and dechlorination reactions.
