ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.19.58

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.19.58
Accepted Name
tryptophan 5-halogenase
Reaction catalysed
L-tryptophan + FADH2 + chloride + O2 = 5-chloro-L-tryptophan + FAD + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • A flavin-dependent halogenase.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Streptomyces rugosporus catalyzes halogenation of the C-5 position of tryptophan during the biosynthesis of the antibiotic compound pyrroindomycin B.
  • It utilizes molecular oxygen to oxidize the FADH2 cofactor, giving C4a-hydroperoxyflavin, which then reacts with chloride to produce a hypochlorite ion.
  • The latter reacts with an active site lysine to generate a chloramine, which chlorinates the substrate. cf. EC 1.14.19.9 and EC 1.14.19.59.
