EC 1.5.99.4 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.5.99.4

Accepted name

nicotine dehydrogenase

Reaction

(S)-nicotine + acceptor + H₂O = (S)-6-hydroxynicotine + reduced acceptor

Other name(s)

nicotine oxidase, D-nicotine oxidase, nicotine:(acceptor) 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating), L-nicotine oxidase

Systematic name

nicotine:acceptor 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)

CAS registry number

37256-31-8

Comment

A metalloprotein (FMN). The enzyme can act on both the naturally found (S)-enantiomer and the synthetic (R)-enantiomer of nicotine, with retention of configuration in both cases [4].
