Other subtype B genes that have become pseudogenes in subtype A specimens and are associated with metabolic pathways are those encoding a haloacid
dehalogenase (LBJ_RS17075) and a methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (LBJ_RS11290), although these genes appear to have putative paralogs with similar function in the genome.
In this work, the bacterial proteins of interest were tagged with a HaloTag, a modified haloalkane
dehalogenase that covalently binds to synthetic Halo-ligands (haloalkanes) that can be fluorescently labeled, thus allowing more robust detection of bait protein binding to interactors present on the array.

A
dehalogenase D gene (dehD) capable of degrading monochloroacetic acid (MCA) has been previously isolated from Rhizobium sp.
Interestingly, certain members of the class Flavobacteria, which includes Flavobacterium spp., were reported to possess
dehalogenase activity, and although it has not been demonstrated in isolates derived from the mammalian gut, they may contribute to the metabolism of TCDF and other halogenated compounds (Xun et al.
melanogaster by a FPP phosphatase (FPPase or FPPP) [72], a member of the NagD halo alkanoic acid
dehalogenase family (HAD), with orthologues in several insect species, including A.
The theta class of GSTs is represented by dichloromethane
dehalogenase produced by methylotrophic bacteria [5], while the zeta class is represented by tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ)
dehalogenase [6].
Monooxygenase type
dehalogenase adds one atom of oxygen to chlorinated compounds to remove the chlorine atom [9].
Quantitative PCR targeting 16s rRNA and reductive
dehalogenase genes simultaneously monitors multiple dehalococcoides strains.
