ID   2.1.1.341
DE   vanillate/3-O-methylgallate O-demethylase.
CA   (1) vanillate + (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate = (6S)-5-methyl-5,6,7,8-
CA   tetrahydrofolate + 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate.
CA   (2) 3-O-methylgallate + (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate = 3,4,5-
CA   trihydroxybenzoate + (6S)-5-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Sphingomonas sp. SYK6,
CC       is involved in the degradation of lignin.
CC   -!- The enzyme has similar activities with vanillate and 3-O-
CC       methylgallate.
