| Name |
hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase;
hydroquinone dioxygenase;
benzene-1,4-diol:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (decyclizing)
|
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen (oxygenases);
With incorporation of two atoms of oxygen
 |
| Sysname |
benzene-1,4-diol:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (ring-opening)
|
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
benzene-1,4-diol + O2 = (2Z,4E)-4-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate [RN: R05246]
|
| Reaction(KEGG) |
|
| Substrate |
|
| Product |
(2Z,4E)-4-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate
|
| Comment |
The enzyme is an extradiol-type dioxygenase, and is a member of the nonheme-iron(II)-dependent dioxygenase family. It catalyses the ring cleavage of a wide range of hydroquinone substrates to produce the corresponding 4-hydroxymuconic semialdehydes.
