1.13.11.88

Accepted name:

isoeugenol monooxygenase

Reaction:

isoeugenol + O₂ = vanillin + acetaldehyde

Glossary:

isoeugenol = 2-methoxy-4-(prop-1-en-1-yl)phenol

Other name(s):

iem (gene name)

Systematic name:

isoeugenol:oxygen 7,8-oxidoreductase (bond-cleaving)

Comments:

Contains iron(II). The enzyme, charcterised from the bacteria Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas nitroreducens, catalyses the epoxidation of the double bond in the side chain of isoeugenol, followed by a second oxygenation and cleavage of the side chain in the form of acetaldehyde.
