4-sulfobenzoate 3,4-dioxygenase () is an enzyme originally obtained from Comamonas testosteroni that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The four substrates of this enzyme are 4-sulfobenzoic acid, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), oxygen and a proton. Its products are protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid), NAD<sup>+</sup>, and sulfurous acid.
This enzyme is an oxidoreductase, which uses molecular oxygen as oxidant and incorporates its atoms into the starting material. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-sulfobenzoate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3,4-hydroxylating, sulfite-forming). Other names in common use include 4-sulfobenzoate dioxygenase, and 4-sulfobenzoate 3,4-dioxygenase system. It participates in toluene degradation and is an ironâÂÂsulfur protein that uses flavin mononucleotide as a cofactor.
