UniProt functional annotation for Q9T0N8

UniProt code: Q9T0N8.

Organism: Zea mays (Maize).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; Liliopsida; Poales; Poaceae; PACMAD clade; Panicoideae; Andropogonodae; Andropogoneae; Tripsacinae; Zea.
 
Function: Catalyzes the oxidation of cytokinins, a family of N(6)- substituted adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where the substituent is an isopentenyl group. Cleaves zeatin, isopentenyladenine, isopentenyladenosine, zeatin riboside and cis- zeatin, but not dihydrozeatin, kinetin and benzylaminopurine.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=A + H2O + N(6)-dimethylallyladenine = 3-methyl-2-butenal + adenine + AH2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13625, ChEBI:CHEBI:13193, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15825, ChEBI:CHEBI:16708, ChEBI:CHEBI:17499, ChEBI:CHEBI:17660; EC=1.5.99.12;
Cofactor: Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692;
Activity regulation: Competitive inhibition by phenylureas.
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Secreted, extracellular space.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in immature kernels and unpollinated cobs. Weakly expressed in kernels harvested two weeks after anthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11154345}.
Ptm: Glycosylated; with approximately 10 hexose residues per site.
Similarity: Belongs to the oxygen-dependent FAD-linked oxidoreductase family. {ECO:0000305}.
