1.14.20.9

Accepted name:

L-tyrosine isonitrile desaturase

Reaction:

(2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate + O₂ = (2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanoprop-2-enoate + succinate + CO₂ + H₂O

Glossary:

(2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoic acid = L-tyrosine isonitrile
paerucumarin = 6,7-dihydroxy-3-isocyanochromen-2-one

Other name(s):

pvcB (gene name)

Systematic name:

(2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase

Comments:

The enzyme is a member of the Fe²⁺, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases and requires Fe²⁺. It has been characterized from bacteria that form the isonitrile-functionalized compound paerucumarin. cf. EC 1.14.20.10, L-tyrosine isonitrile desaturase/decarboxylase.

4.1.99.24

Accepted name:

L-tyrosine isonitrile synthase

Reaction:

L-tyrosine + D-ribulose 5-phosphate = (2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate + hydroxyacetone + formaldehyde + phosphate + H₂O

Glossary:

(2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate = L-tyrosine isonitrile
paerucumarin = 6,7-dihydroxy-3-isocyanochromen-2-one
rhabduscin = N-[(2S,3S,4R,5S,6R)-4,5-dihydroxy-6-{4-[(E)-2-isocyanoethenyl]phenoxy}-2-methyloxan-3-yl]acetamide

Other name(s):

pvcA (gene name)

Systematic name:

L-tyrosine:D-ribulose-5-phosphate lyase (isonitrile-forming)

Comments:

The enzymes from the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Xenorhabdus nematophila are involved in the biosynthesis of paerucumarin and rhabduscin, respectively. According to the proposed mechanism, the enzyme forms an imine intermediate composed of linked L-tyrosine and D-ribulose 5-phosphate, followed by loss of the phosphate group and formation of a β-keto imine and keto-enol tautomerization. This is followed by a C-C bond cleavage, the release of hydroxyacetone, and a retro aldol type reaction that releases formaldehyde and forms the final product [3]. cf. EC 4.1.99.25, L-tryptophan isonitrile synthase.
