EC 1.14.19.60 Details
EC number
1.14.19.60
Accepted name
7-chloro-L-tryptophan 6-halogenase
Reaction
7-chloro-L-tryptophan + FADH2 + chloride + O2 + H+ = 6,7-dichloro-L-tryptophan + FAD + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
ktzR (gene name)
Systematic name
7-chloro-L-tryptophan:FADH2 oxidoreductase (6-halogenating)
Comment
An FAD-dependent halogenase. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Kutzneria sp. 744, works in tandem with EC 1.14.19.9, tryptophan 7-halogenase, (ktzQ) to generate 6,7-dichloro-L-tryptophan, which is incorporated as a pyrroloindoline in the kutznerides family of natural products. It has a 120-fold preference for 7-chloro-L-tryptophan over L-tryptophan as substrate.
