Halogenases, Other Haloperoxidases and Peroxidases

Other enzymes capable of halogenation processes include a bacterial esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (2316), acid phosphatases from the bacteria Shigella flexneri and Salmonella enterica ser. typhimurium (2317), a lactonohydrolase from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus F46 (2318), and hydroperoxide halolyse from the marine diatom Stephanopyxis turris (2319). The biosynthesis of the ubiquitous methyl halides seems to involve methyl transferase enzymes, which have been isolated and purified in the plant Brassica oleracea (S -adenosyl-L-methionine  

Abbreviated proposed mechanism of non-heme iron halogenase chlorination (1145, 1146, 2127, 2313, 2323).
