ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.38

Accepted Name
valine N-monooxygenase.
Alternative Name(s)
CYP79D1.
CYP79D2.
Reaction catalysed
L-valine + 2 O2 + 2 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] <=> (E)-2-methylpropanal oxime + CO2 + 2 H(+) + 3 H2O + 2 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme catalyzes two successive N-hydroxylations of L-valine, the committed step in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside linamarin in Manihot esculenta (cassava).
  • The product of the two hydroxylations, N,N-dihydroxy-L-valine, is labile and undergoes dehydration and decarboxylation that produce the (E) isomer of the oxime.
  • It is still not known whether the decarboxylation is spontaneous or catalyzed by the enzyme.
  • The enzyme can also accept L-isoleucine as substrate, with a lower activity.
  • It is different from EC 1.14.14.39.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.13.118.
