ENZYME entry: EC 1.4.3.23

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.4.3.23
Accepted Name
7-chloro-L-tryptophan oxidase
Reaction catalysed
7-chloro-L-tryptophan + O2 = 3-(7-chloroindol-3-yl)-2-iminopropanoate + H2O2
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes.
  • During catalysis, the bound FAD is reoxidized at the expense of molecular oxygen, producing one molecule of hydrogen peroxide.
  • The enzyme shows significant preference for 7-chloro-L-tryptophan over L-tryptophan.
