EC 1.17.3.4 Details
EC number
1.17.3.4
Accepted name
juglone 3-hydroxylase
Reaction
2 juglone + O2 = 2 3,5-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (overall reaction);;(1a) 2 juglone + 2 H2O = 2 naphthalene-1,2,4,8-tetrol;;(1b) 2 naphthalene-1,2,4,8-tetrol + O2 = 2 3,5-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
juglone hydroxylase, naphthoquinone hydroxylase, naphthoquinone-hydroxylase
Systematic name
5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone,water:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
CAS registry number
98865-54-4
Comment
Even though oxygen is consumed, molecular oxygen is not incorporated into the product. Catalysis starts by incorporation of an oxygen atom from a water molecule into the substrate. The naphthalene-1,2,4,8-tetrol intermediate is then oxidized by molecular oxygen, which is reduced to water. Also acts on 1,4-naphthoquinone, naphthazarin and 2-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone.
