show Brenda entry

EC number

1.7.1.16

Accepted name

nitrobenzene nitroreductase

Reaction

N-phenylhydroxylamine + 2 NADP⁺ + H₂O = nitrobenzene + 2 NADPH + 2 H⁺ (overall reaction);;(1a) N-phenylhydroxylamine + NADP⁺ = nitrosobenzene + NADPH + H⁺;;(1b) nitrosobenzene + NADP⁺ + H₂O = nitrobenzene + NADPH + H⁺

Other name(s)

cnbA (gene name)

Systematic name

N-phenylhydroxylamine:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase

Comment

Contains FMN. The enzyme, characterized from Pseudomonas species, catalyses two successive reductions of nitrobenzene, via a nitrosobenzene intermediate. It is also active on 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene.
