EC 1.13.11.3 Details
EC number
1.13.11.3
Accepted name
protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase
Reaction
3,4-dihydroxybenzoate + O2 = 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate
Other name(s)
protocatechuate oxygenase, protocatechuic acid oxidase, protocatechuic 3,4-dioxygenase, protocatechuic 3,4-oxygenase, protocatechuate:oxygen 3,4-oxidoreductase (decyclizing)
Systematic name
protocatechuate:oxygen 3,4-oxidoreductase (ring-opening)
CAS registry number
9029-47-4
Comment
Requires Fe3+. The enzyme, which participates in the degradation of aromatic compounds, catalyses the intradiol addition of both oxygen atoms from molecular oxygen, resulting in ortho-cleavage of the aromatic ring. The type of cleavage leads to mineralization via the intermediate 3-oxoadipate.
