Heme-binding domain of bacterial ethylbenzene dehydrogenase
Ethylbenzene dehydrogenase (EBDH) is a bacterial molybdopterin enzyme. It catalyzes anaerobic hydroxylation of alkylaromatic compounds to secondary alcohols. The DOMON domain in EBDH and related proteins, typically called the gamma subunit, binds a heme; its function in the catalytic mechanism is unclear. It co-occurs with a molybdopterin-binding subunit and an iron-sulfur protein. This family also contains heme-binding domains of dimethylsulfide dehydrogenase, selenate reductases, and chlorate reductase.
