| Description | The enzyme phosphonatase catalyses the degradation of 2-aminoethylphosphonate (AEP) in bacteria. This allows them to metabolise a range of organophosphonate compounds, including 2-aminoethylphosphonate, as a sole source of carbon, energy and phosphorus for growth [ ]. The C-P bond in phosphonoacetaldehyde (Pald) is hydrolysed and a bi-covalent Lys53ethylenamine/Asp12 aspartylphosphate intermediate is formed []. This step can also be catalysed by C-P lyase [], with some bacteria having the genes for both pathways and some only for one of them. The 2-aminoethylphosphonate ABC transport system functions in the transport of 2-aminoethylphosphonate across the membrane for utilisation in the bacterial cell [].PhnU is probably part of the phnSTUV complex involved in 2-aminoethylphosphonate import. It is found in a region of the salmonella typhimurium LT2 genome [ ] responsible for the catabolism of 2-aminoethylphosphonate via the phnWX pathway (). |
