ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.15.9

Accepted Name

spheroidene monooxygenase

Alternative Name(s)

2-oxo-spirilloxanthin monooxygenase

acyclic carotenoid 2-ketolase

spirilloxanthin monooxygenase

Reaction catalysed

4 H(+) + 2 O2 + 4 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + spheroidene = 3 H2O + 4 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + spheroiden-2-one
4 H(+) + 2 O2 + 4 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + spirilloxanthin = 2-oxospirilloxanthin + 3 H2O + 4 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]
2-oxospirilloxanthin + 4 H(+) + 2 O2 + 4 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = 2,2'-dioxospirilloxanthin + 3 H2O + 4 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]

Comment(s)

The enzyme is involved in spheroidenone biosynthesis and in 2,2'-dioxospirilloxanthin biosynthesis.
The enzyme from Rhodobacter sphaeroides contains heme at its active site.
