Tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase (EC 1.21.99.5, previously 1.97.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes some chemical reactions which allow bacteria to metabolise chlorinated hydrocarbons.[1][2][3] For example, Dehalobacter restrictus converts tetrachloroethylene to trichloroethylene:[4][5]

The enzyme can also convert trichloroethylene into dichloroethylene and requires an electron acceptor, which is believed to be menaquinone.[6]

This enzyme is an oxidoreductase with systematic name acceptor:trichloroethene oxidoreductase (chlorinating). This enzyme is also called tetrachloroethene reductase.[7] It is one member of a family of enzymes including trichloroethene dehalogenase and vinyl chloride dehalogenase. Reductive dehalogenases are key enzymes for anaerobic respiratory process, termed organohalide respiration, and hence can be used for bioremediation.[8]
