UniProt functional annotation for Q9WWU5

UniProt code: Q9WWU5.

Organism: Pseudomonas putida (Arthrobacter siderocapsulatus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas.
 
Function: Catalyzes the oxygenolytic cleavage of 2-ethylhexyl sulfate (2-EHS) in the presence of alpha-ketoglutarate to yield 2-ethyl-hexanal and succinate, the decarboxylated form of alpha-ketoglutarate. It can accept a wide range of alpha-keto acids including 2-oxo-valerate, 2- oxo-adipate, 2-oxo-octanoate, 3-methyl-2-oxo-butyrate, oxaloacetate- alpha-ketoadipate, and alpha-ketooctanoate. It can catalyze the cleavage of medium-chain alkyl sulfate esters such as butylsulfate, pentylsulfate, hexylsulfate, heptylsulfate, octylsulfate, nonylsulfate, decylsulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10913158}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2-ethylhexyl sulfate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = 2-ethylhexanal + CO2 + H(+) + succinate + sulfate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:47620, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16189, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:16810, ChEBI:CHEBI:30031, ChEBI:CHEBI:87808, ChEBI:CHEBI:87809; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10913158};
