EC 1.1.2.6 Details
EC number
1.1.2.6
Accepted name
polyvinyl alcohol dehydrogenase (cytochrome)
Reaction
polyvinyl alcohol + ferricytochrome c = oxidized polyvinyl alcohol + ferrocytochrome c + H+
Other name(s)
PVA dehydrogenase, PVADH
Systematic name
polyvinyl alcohol:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase
Comment
A quinoprotein. The enzyme is involved in bacterial polyvinyl alcohol degradation. Some Gram-negative bacteria degrade polyvinyl alcohol by importing it into the periplasmic space, where it is oxidized by polyvinyl alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme that is coupled to the respiratory chain via cytochrome c. The enzyme contains a pyrroloquinoline quinone cofactor.
