EC 3.7.1.18 Details
EC number
3.7.1.18
Accepted name
6-oxocamphor hydrolase
Reaction
bornane-2,6-dione + H2O = [(1S)-4-hydroxy-2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-enyl]acetate
Other name(s)
OCH, camK (gene name)
Systematic name
bornane-2,6-dione hydrolase
Comment
Isolated from Rhodococcus sp. The bornane ring system is cleaved by a retro-Claisen reaction to give the enol of α-campholonate. When separate from the enzyme the enol is tautomerised to the keto form as a 6:1 mixture of [(1S,3R)-2,2,3-trimethyl-4-oxocyclopentyl]acetate and [(1S,3S)-2,2,3-trimethyl-4-oxocyclopentyl]acetate.
