| Other name(s): | p-cymene methyl hydroxylase. | ||||||||||||||
| Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from several Pseudomonas strains, initiates p-cymene catabolism through hydroxylation of the methyl group. The enzyme has a distinct preference for substrates containing at least an alkyl or heteroatom substituent at the para-position of toluene. The electrons are provided by a reductase (EC 1.18.1.3) that transfers electrons from Nadh via fad and an [2Fe-2S] cluster. In Pseudomonas chlororaphis the presence of a third component of unknown function greatly increases the activity. cf. Ec 1.14.15.26. | ||||||||||||||
