ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.156

Accepted Name
tryptophan N-monooxygenase
Alternative Name(s)
CYP79B1
CYP79B2
CYP79B3
tryptophan N-hydroxylase
Reaction catalysed
L-tryptophan + 2 O2 + 2 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = (E)-(indol-3-yl)acetaldehyde oxime + CO2 + 2 H(+) + 3 H2O + 2 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]
Comment(s)
  • A cytochrome P450 (heme-thiolate) protein from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • This enzyme catalyzes two successive N-hydroxylations of L-tryptophan, the first steps in the biosynthesis of both auxin and the indole alkaloid phytoalexin camalexin.
  • The product of the two hydroxylations, N,N-dihydroxy-L-tryptophan, is extremely labile and dehydrates spontaneously.
  • The dehydrated product is then subject to a decarboxylation that produces an oxime.
  • It is still not known whether the decarboxylation is spontaneous or catalyzed by the enzyme.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.13.125 and EC 1.14.13.n2.
