Disease relevance of benC

 

High impact information on benC

  • The electron transfer component of benzoate dioxygenase, encoded by benC, and the corresponding protein of the toluate 1,2-dioxygenase, encoded by xylZ, were each found to have an N-terminal region which resembled chloroplast-type ferredoxins and a C-terminal region which resembled several oxidoreductases [2].
 

Associations of benC with chemical compounds

  • The enzyme, benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase, is composed of a hydroxylase component, encoded by benAB, and an electron transfer component, encoded by benC [2].
