- 4-cresol dehydrogenase (hydroxylating)
In
enzymology , a 4-cresol dehydrogenase (hydroxylating) (EC number|1.17.99.1) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :4-cresol + acceptor + H2O 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde + reduced acceptor
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
4-cresol ,acceptor , and H2O, whereas its two products are4-hydroxybenzaldehyde andreduced acceptor .This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on CH or CH2 group with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-cresol:acceptor oxidoreductase (methyl-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include p-cresol-(acceptor) oxidoreductase (hydroxylating), and p-cresol methylhydroxylase. This enzyme participates intoluene and xylene degradation . It has 2 cofactors:FAD , andCytochrome c .tructural studies
As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|1DII, PDB link|1DIQ, PDB link|1WVE, and PDB link|1WVF.
