EC 1.17.5.2 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.17.5.2

Accepted name

caffeine dehydrogenase

Reaction

caffeine + ubiquinone + H₂O = 1,3,7-trimethylurate + ubiquinol

Systematic name

caffeine:ubiquinone oxidoreductase

Comment

This enzyme, characterized from the soil bacterium Pseudomonas sp. CBB1, catalyses the incorporation of an oxygen atom originating from a water molecule into position C-8 of caffeine. The enzyme utilizes short-tail ubiquinones as the preferred electron acceptor.
