DESCRIPTION

Also known as RDPA_SPHHM, rdpA. Involved in the degradation of the phenoxypropionate herbicides. Catalyzes the enantiospecific cleavage of the ether bond in the herbicid R-dichlorprop ((R)-2-(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate)(R-2, 4-DP) and R-mecoprop ((R)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionate)(R-2, 4-MCPP). It can also accept (RS)-4-chlorophenoxypropanoate, however it can only accept 2-oxoglutarate as oxygen acceptor. Homotrimer.
