EC 1.14.19.48 Details
EC number
1.14.19.48
Accepted name
tert-amyl alcohol desaturase
Reaction
tert-amyl alcohol + NADPH + H+ + O2 = isoprenyl alcohol + NADP+ + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
mdpJK (gene names)
Systematic name
tert-amyl alcohol,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (1,2-dehydrogenating)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Aquincola tertiaricarbonis, is a Rieske nonheme mononuclear iron oxygenase. It can also act, with lower efficiency, on butan-2-ol, converting it to but-1-en-3-ol. Depending on the substrate, the enzyme also catalyses EC 1.14.13.229, tert-butanol monooxygenase.
