EC 1.13.11.50 Details
EC number
1.13.11.50
Accepted name
acetylacetone-cleaving enzyme
Reaction
pentane-2,4-dione + O2 = acetate + 2-oxopropanal
Other name(s)
Dke1, acetylacetone dioxygenase, diketone cleaving dioxygenase, diketone cleaving enzyme
Systematic name
acetylacetone:oxygen oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
524047-53-8
Comment
An Fe(II)-dependent enzyme. Forms the first step in the acetylacetone degradation pathway of Acinetobacter johnsonii. While acetylacetone is by far the best substrate, heptane-3,5-dione, octane-2,4-dione, 2-acetylcyclohexanone and ethyl acetoacetate can also act as substrates.
