Definition:

EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.5 Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds > 3.5.5 In nitriles > 3.5.5.5 Arylacetonitrilase
Bromoxynil nitrilase is a highly specific nitrilase from Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. ozaenae, involved in bacterial degradation of the herbicide bromoxynil. It hydrolyzes 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile with two waters into 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoate and ammonia. In soil bacteria it degrades bromoxynil. It features a nitrilase fold.
