1.14.12.19

Accepted name:

3-phenylpropanoate dioxygenase

Reaction:

(1) 3-phenylpropanoate + NADH + H⁺ + O₂ = 3-(cis-5,6-dihydroxycyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl)propanoate + NAD⁺
(2) (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoate + NADH + H⁺ + O₂ = (2E)-3-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate + NAD⁺

Glossary:

(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoate = trans-cinnamate
(2E)-3-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate = trans-2,3-dihydroxycinnamate

Other name(s):

HcaA1A2CD; Hca dioxygenase; 3-phenylpropionate dioxygenase

Systematic name:

3-phenylpropanoate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-hydroxylating)

Comments:

This enzyme catalyses a step in the pathway of phenylpropanoid compounds degradation. It catalyses the insertion of both atoms of molecular oxygen into positions 2 and 3 of the phenyl ring of 3-phenylpropanoate or (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoate.
