| UniProt functional annotation for Q7SIC2 | |||
| UniProt code: Q7SIC2. |
| Organism: | Aspergillus japonicus. | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Pezizomycotina; Eurotiomycetes; Eurotiomycetidae; Eurotiales; Aspergillaceae; Aspergillus. | |
| Function: | Performs the first step in the degradation of the flavonoid quercetin by a dioxygenase reaction. The enzyme catalyzes the cleavage of the O-heteroaromatic ring of the flavonol quercetin yielding the depside 2-protocatechuoyl-phloroglucinol carboxylic acid and carbon monoxide. This involves the remarkable dioxygenolytic cleavage of two carbon-carbon bonds. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=O2 + quercetin = 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyloxy)-4,6- dihydroxybenzoate + CO; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15381, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:17245, ChEBI:CHEBI:57628, ChEBI:CHEBI:57694; EC=1.13.11.24; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Cu cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:23378; Note=Binds 1 copper ion per subunit.; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by diethyldithiocarbamate and kojic acid. | |
| Pathway: | Flavonoid metabolism; quercetin degradation. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12069585, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12486225}. | |
| Ptm: | The N-linked glycan at Asn-191 consists of Man(5)-GlcNAc(2). | |
