| Description | Acireductone dioxygenase catalyses 2 different reactions between oxygen and the acireductone 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene (DHK-MTPene), depending upon the metal bound in the active site. Fe-containing acireductone dioxygenase (Fe-ARD or ARD') produces formate and 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyrate (KMTB), the alpha-ketoacid precursor of methionine in the methionine recycle pathway. Ni-containing acireductone dioxygenase (Ni-ARD) produces methylthiopropionate,carbon monoxide and formate, and does not lie on the methionine recycle pathway [ ]. | Name | Acireductone dioxygenase ARD, bacteria |
| Short Name | ARD_bac | Type | Family |
