EC 1.14.20.12 Details
EC number
1.14.20.12
Accepted name
3-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]-1H-indole synthase
Reaction
(2S)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-isocyanopropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = 3-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]-1H-indole + succinate + 2 CO2 + H2O
Other name(s)
isnB (gene name), L-tryptophan isonitrile desaturase/decarboxylase (3-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]-1H-indole-forming)
Systematic name
(2S)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-isocyanopropanoate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating, 3-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]-1H-indole-forming)
Comment
The enzyme has been characterized from an unidentified soil bacterium. It catalyses an Fe2+, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent monooxygenation at C-3, which is followed by decarboxylation and dehydration, resulting in the generation of a trans C-C double bond. cf. EC 1.14.20.11, 3-[(Z)-2-isocyanoethenyl]-1H-indole synthase.
