ID   1.13.12.15
DE   3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine oxidative deaminase.
AN   DOPAODA.
AN   DOPA oxidative deaminase.
AN   oxidative deaminase.
CA   2 L-dopa + O2 = 2 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)pyruvate + 2 NH4(+).
CC   -!- One of the three enzymes involved in L-dopa (3,4-
CC       dihydroxyphenylalanine) catabolism in the non-oxygenic phototrophic
CC       bacterium Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus OU5 (and not Rhodobacter
CC       sphaeroides OU5 as had been thought), the other two being EC 4.3.1.22
CC       and EC 2.6.1.49.
CC   -!- In addition to DOPA, the enzyme can also use L-tyrosine,
CC       L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan and glutamate as substrate, but more
CC       slowly.
CC   -!- Inhibited by NADH and 2-oxoglutarate.
