|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
- L-tryptophan + FADH(2) + chloride + O(2) + H(+) <=> 6-chloro-L-tryptophan + FAD + 2 H(2)O
- D-tryptophan + FADH(2) + chloride + O(2) + H(+) <=> 6-chloro-D-tryptophan + FAD + 2 H(2)O

| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme is a flavin-dependent halogenase that has been described
from several bacterial species.
- It utilizes molecular oxygen to oxidize the FADH(2) 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 1.14.19.58 and EC 1.14.19.9.
