todE coding sequence encoding 3-methylcatechol 2,3-dioxygenase
TodE belongs to a group of enzymes called catechol-2,3-dioxygenases (C23Os). TodE specifically encodes for the enzyme 3-methylcatechol 2,3-dioxygenase. This enzyme is part of a series of enzymes responsible for the degradation of aromatic compounds such as toluene, xylene and benzene and their incorporation into the cell metabolism as a carbon source. It is naturally most effective and responsible for the initial cleavage of the 3-methylcatechol intermediate to produce the meta fission product (MFP) 2-hydroxy6-oxo-methylhexa-2,4-dienoate (6-methyl HODA).
