EC 1.14.13.235 Details
EC number
1.14.13.235
Accepted name
indole-3-acetate monooxygenase
Reaction
(indol-3-yl)acetate + NADH + H+ + O2 = (2-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate + NAD+ + H2O
Other name(s)
iacA (gene name)
Systematic name
(indol-3-yl)acetate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from Pseudomonas putida strains, catalyses the first step in a pathway for degradation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetate. When acting on indole, the enzyme forms indoxyl, which reacts spontaneously with oxygen to form the blue dye indigo.
