ENZYME entry: EC 1.5.99.12

Accepted Name
cytokinin dehydrogenase
Alternative Name(s)
cytokinin oxidase
Reaction catalysed
A + H2O + N(6)-dimethylallyladenine = 3-methyl-2-butenal + adenine + AH2
Comment(s)
  • Catalyzes the oxidation of cytokinins, a family of N(6)-substituted adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where the substituent is a prenyl group.
  • Although this activity was previously thought to be catalyzed by a hydrogen-peroxide-forming oxidase, this enzyme does not require oxygen for activity and does not form hydrogen peroxide.
  • 2,6-dichloroindophenol, methylene blue, nitroblue tetrazolium, phenazine methosulfate and copper(II) in the presence of imidazole can act as acceptors.
  • This enzyme plays a part in regulating rice-grain production, with lower levels of the enzyme resulting in enhanced grain production.
