EC 1.14.20.10     
Accepted name: L-tyrosine isonitrile desaturase/decarboxylase
Reaction: (2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = 4-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]phenol + succinate + 2 CO2 + H2O
Glossary: (2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoic acid = L-tyrosine isonitrile
rhabduscin = N-[(2S,3S,4R,5S,6R)-4,5-dihydroxy-6-{4-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]phenoxy}-2-methyloxan-3-yl]acetamide
Other name(s): pvcB (gene name)
Systematic name: (2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila, is involved in rhabduscin biosynthesis. The enzyme is a member of the Fe2+, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases. It is similar to EC 1.14.20.9, L-tyrosine isonitrile desaturase. However, the latter does not catalyse a decarboxylation of the substrate.
