Comment(s) |
- This enzyme catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin,
an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria
aerocolonigenes.
- The enzyme is a dimeric heme-protein oxidase that catalyzes the
oxidative dimerization of two L-tryptophan-derived molecules to form
dichlorochromopyrrolic acid, the precursor for the fused six-ring
indolocarbazole scaffold of rebeccamycin.
- In vivo the enzyme uses hydrogen peroxide, formed by the enzyme
upstream in the biosynthetic pathway (EC 1.4.3.23) as the electron
acceptor.
- However, the enzyme is also able to catalyze the reaction using
molecular oxygen.
- Formerly EC 1.21.3.9 and EC 4.3.1.26.
