| Primary Identifier | IPR010353 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | DmpK |
| description | This family consists of several bacterial phenol hydroxylase subunit proteins, which are part of a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase, including Phenol 2-monooxygenase, auxiliary component DmpK from Pseudomonas sp. DmpK may be involved in the post-translational incorporation of iron into theoxygenase component of the phenol hydroxylase []. Some bacteria can utilise phenol or some of its methylated derivatives as their sole source of carbon and energy. The first step in this process is the conversion of phenol into catechol. Catechol is then further metabolised via the meta-cleavage pathway into TCA cycle intermediates []. |
