ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.15.46

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.15.46
Accepted Name
2-methoxy-6-polyprenylphenol 4-hydroxylase
Reaction catalysed
a 2-methoxy-6-(all-trans-polyprenyl)phenol + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + O2 + 2 H(+) = a 2-methoxy-6-(all-trans-polyprenyl)benzene-1,4-diol + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, found in eukaryotes, is involved in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone.
  • The vertebrate enzyme catalyzes two hydroxylations in the pathway at the positions meta to the prenyl side chain (the other hydroxylation is classified as EC 1.14.15.45).
  • The number of isoprenoid subunits in the side chain varies in different species.
  • The enzyme does not have any specificity concerning the length of the polyprenyl tail, and accepts tails of various lengths with similar efficiency.
