EC 1.13.11.66     
Accepted name: hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase
Reaction: benzene-1,4-diol + O2 = (2Z,4E)-4-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate

Glossary: benzene-1,4-diol = hydroquinone
(2Z,4E)-4-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate = 4-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde
Other name(s): hydroquinone dioxygenase; benzene-1,4-diol:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (decyclizing)
Systematic name: benzene-1,4-diol:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (ring-opening)
Comments: The enzyme is an extradiol-type dioxygenase, and is a member of the nonheme-iron(II)-dependent dioxygenase family. It catalyses the ring cleavage of a wide range of hydroquinone substrates to produce the corresponding 4-hydroxymuconic semialdehydes.
