EC 1.11.2.6 Details
EC number
1.11.2.6
Accepted name
L-tyrosine peroxygenase
Reaction
L-tyrosine + H2O2 = L-dopa + H2O
Systematic name
L-tyrosine:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase (L-dopa-forming)
Comment
The enzyme from the bacterium Streptomyces lincolnensis participates in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic lincomycin A, while that from Streptomyces refuineus is involved in anthramycin biosynthesis. The enzyme, which contains a heme b cofactor, is rapidly inactivated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, but the presence of L-tyrosine protects it. cf. EC 1.11.2.5, 3-methyl-L-tyrosine peroxygenase.
