UniProt functional annotation for Q47PU3

UniProt code: Q47PU3.

Organism: Thermobifida fusca (strain YX).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Streptosporangiales; Nocardiopsaceae; Thermobifida.
 
Function: Catalyzes a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction, i.e. the insertion of an oxygen atom into a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters. Is most efficient with phenylacetone as substrate, leading to the formation of benzyl acetate. Can also oxidize other aromatic ketones (benzylacetone, alpha- methylphenylacetone and 4-hydroxyacetophenone), some aliphatic ketones (dodecan-2-one and bicyclohept-2-en-6-one) and sulfides (e.g. methyl 4- tolylsulfide). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15599520}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H(+) + NADPH + O2 + phenylacetone = benzyl acetate + H2O + NADP(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10124, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:52051, ChEBI:CHEBI:52052, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.14.13.92; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15599520};
