ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.12.22

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.12.22
Accepted Name
carbazole 1,9a-dioxygenase
Alternative Name(s)
CARDO
Reaction catalysed
  • 9H-carbazole + NADH + O2 + H(+) = 2'-aminobiphenyl-2,3-diol + NAD(+)
  • 9H-carbazole + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = 2'-aminobiphenyl-2,3-diol + NADP(+)
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme catalyzes the first reaction in the pathway of carbazole degradation.
  • The enzyme attacks at the 1 and 9a positions of carbazole, resulting in the formation of a highly unstable hemiaminal intermediate that undergoes a spontaneous cleavage and rearomatization, resulting in 2'-aminobiphenyl-2,3-diol.
  • In most bacteria the enzyme is a complex composed of a terminal oxygenase, a ferredoxin, and a ferredoxin reductase.
  • The terminal oxygenase component contains a nonheme iron center and a Rieske [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster.
