chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenases (1,2-CCDs) (type II enzymes) are homodimeric intradiol dioxygenases that degrade chlorocatechols via the addition of molecular oxygen and the subsequent cleavage between two adjacent hydroxyl groups. This reaction is part of the modified ortho-cleavage pathway which is a central oxidative bacterial pathway that channels chlorocatechols, derived from the degradation of chlorinated benzoic acids, phenoxyacetic acids, phenols, benzenes, and other aromatics into the energy-generating tricarboxylic acid pathway.
