EC 1.14.15.25 Details
EC number
1.14.15.25
Accepted name
p-cymene methyl-monooxygenase
Reaction
p-cymene + O2 + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H+ = 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H2O
Other name(s)
cymAa (gene name), cymA (gene name), p-cymene methyl hydroxylase
Systematic name
p-cymene,ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (methyl-hydroxylating)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from several Pseudomonas strains, initiates p-cymene catabolism through hydroxylation of the methyl group. The enzyme has a distinct preference for substrates containing at least an alkyl or heteroatom substituent at the para-position of toluene. The electrons are provided by a reductase (EC 1.18.1.3, ferredoxin—NAD+ reductase) that transfers electrons from NADH via FAD and an [2Fe-2S] cluster. In Pseudomonas chlororaphis the presence of a third component of unknown function greatly increases the activity. cf. EC 1.14.15.26, toluene methyl-monooxygenase.
