UniProt functional annotation for Q9ZAG3

UniProt code: Q9ZAG3.

Organism: Rhodococcus erythropolis (Arthrobacter picolinophilus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Nocardiaceae; Rhodococcus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the conversion of limonene-1,2-epoxide to limonene- 1,2-diol. Can use both the (-) and (+) isomers of limonene-1,2-epoxide as substrates and also has some activity with 1-methylcyclohexene oxide, cyclohexene oxide and indene oxide as substrates.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H2O + limonene 1,2-epoxide = limonene-1,2-diol; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10700, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:16431, ChEBI:CHEBI:17219; EC=3.3.2.8; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:9748436};
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 7. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9748436}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 50 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9748436};
Pathway: Terpene metabolism; (4R)-limonene degradation; (1S,4R)-1- hydroxylimonen-2-one from (4R)-limonene: step 2/3.
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12773375, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9748436}.
Induction: By growth on monoterpenes.
Similarity: Belongs to the limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase family. {ECO:0000305}.
