| Name |
thymine dioxygenase;
thymine 7-hydroxylase;
5-hydroxy-methyluracil dioxygenase;
5-hydroxymethyluracil oxygenase
|
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into each donor
 |
| Sysname |
thymine,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating)
|
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
thymine + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = 5-hydroxymethyluracil + succinate + CO2 [RN: R01412]
|
| Reaction(KEGG) |

| Comment |
Requires Fe2+ and ascorbate. Also acts on 5-hydroxymethyluracil to oxidize its -CH2OH group first to -CHO and then to -COOH.
