| Accepted name: | limonene 1,2-monooxygenase | ||||||
| Reaction: | (1) (S)-limonene + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene + NAD(P)+ + H2O (2) (R)-limonene + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene + NAD(P)+ + H2O |

| Glossary: | limonene = a monoterpenoid (S)-limonene = (-)-limonene (R)-limonene = (+)-limonene limonene-1,2-epoxide = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene = 1-methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane |
||||||
| Systematic name: | limonene,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase | ||||||
| Comments: | A flavoprotein (FAD). Limonene is the most widespread terpene and is formed by more than 300 plants. Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14, a Gram-positive bacterium, is able to grow on both (S)-limonene and (R)-limonene as the sole source of carbon and energy. NADPH can act instead of NADH, although more slowly. It has not been established if the product formed is optically pure or a mixture of two enantiomers. | ||||||

| EC | 3.3.2.8 | ||||||
| Accepted name: | limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase | ||||||
| Reaction: | 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene + H2O = menth-8-ene-1,2-diol | ||||||

| Glossary: | limonene = a monoterpenoid limonene-1,2-epoxide = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene limonene-1,2-diol = menth-8-ene-1,2-diol |
||||||
| Other name(s): | limonene oxide hydrolase | ||||||
| Systematic name: | 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene hydrolase | ||||||
| Comments: | Involved in the monoterpene degradation pathway of the actinomycete Rhodococcus erythropolis. The enzyme hydrolyses several alicyclic and 1-methyl-substituted epoxides, such as 1-methylcyclohexene oxide, indene oxide and cyclohexene oxide. It differs from the previously described epoxide hydrolases [EC 3.3.2.4 (trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase), EC 3.3.2.6 (leukotriene-A4 hydrolase), EC 3.3.2.7 (hepoxilin-epoxide hydrolase), EC 3.3.2.9 (microsomal epoxide hydrolase) and EC 3.3.2.10 (soluble epoxide hydrolase)] as it is not inhibited by 2-bromo-4′-nitroacetophenone, diethyl dicarbonate, 4-fluorochalcone oxide or 1,10-phenanthroline. Both enantiomers of menth-8-ene-1,2-diol [i.e. (1R,2R,4S)-menth-8-ene-1,2-diol and (1S,2S,4R)-menth-8-ene-1,2-diol] are metabolized. | ||||||
