ID 1.4.3.23 DE 7-chloro-L-tryptophan oxidase. CA 7-chloro-L-tryptophan + O2 = 3-(7-chloroindol-3-yl)-2-iminopropanoate + CA H2O2. CC -!- This enzyme catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, CC an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria CC aerocolonigenes. CC -!- During catalysis, the bound FAD is reoxidized at the expense of CC molecular oxygen, producing one molecule of hydrogen peroxide. CC -!- The enzyme shows significant preference for 7-chloro-L-tryptophan CC over L-tryptophan. DR Q8KHS0, REBO_LENAE ; Q9S3V1, VIOA_CHRVO ; //
