EC 1.14.12.25     
Accepted name: p-cumate 2,3-dioxygenase
Reaction: p-cumate + NADH + H+ + O2 = (2R,3S)-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydro-p-cumate + NAD+

Glossary: p-cumate = 4-isopropylbenzoate
(2R,3S)-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydro-p-cumate = (5S,6R)-5,6-dihydroxy-4-isopropylcyclohexa-1,3-diene-1-carboxylate
Systematic name: 4-isopropylbenzoate:oxygen 2,3-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from several Pseudomonas strains, is involved in the degradation of p-cymene and p-cumate. It comprises four components: a ferredoxin, a ferredoxin reductase, and two subunits of a catalytic component. The enzyme can also act on indole, transforming it to the water-insoluble blue dye indigo.
