Phenylacetyl-CoA 1,2-epoxidase
Class of enzymes
Phenylacetyl-CoA 1,2-epoxidase (EC 1.14.13.149, ring 1,2-phenylacetyl-CoA epoxidase, phenylacetyl-CoA monooxygenase, PaaAC, PaaABC(D)E) is an enzyme with systematic name phenylacetyl-CoA:oxygen oxidoreductase (1,2-epoxidizing).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- phenylacetyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ + O2 2-(1,2-epoxy-1,2-dihydrophenyl)acetyl-CoA + NADP+ + H2O
Phenylacetyl-CoA 1,2-epoxidase participates in catabolism of phenylacetate in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida.
