1.5.3.6

Accepted name:

(R)-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase

Reaction:

(R)-6-hydroxynicotine + H₂O + O₂ = 1-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(methylamino)butan-1-one + H₂O₂ (overall reaction)
(1a) (R)-6-hydroxynicotine + O₂ = 5-(N-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridin-2-ol + H₂O₂
(1b) 5-(N-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridin-2-ol + H₂O = 1-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(methylamino)butan-1-one (spontaneous)

Glossary:

(R)-6-hydroxynicotine = 5-[(2R)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl]pyridin-2-ol
5-(N-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridin-2-ol = 6-hydroxy-N-methylmyosmine
1-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-(methylamino)butan-1-one = 6-hydroxypseudooxynicotine

Other name(s):

D-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase; 6-hydroxy-D-nicotine oxidase

Systematic name:

(R)-6-hydroxynicotine:oxygen oxidoreductase

Comments:

A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme, which participates in nicotine degradation, is specific for (R) isomer of 6-hydroxynicotine, derived from the uncommon (R)-nicotine. The bacterium Arthrobacter nicotinovorans, in which this enzyme was originally discovered, has a different enzyme that catalyses a similar reaction with the (S)-isomer (cf. EC 1.5.3.5, (S)-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase).
