| Comment |
A flavoprotein(FAD). Catalyses the oxidation of cytokinins, a family
of N6-substituted adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where
the substituent is a dimethylallyl or other prenyl group. Although
this activity was previously thought to be catalysed by a
hydrogen-peroxide-forming oxidase, this enzyme does not require
oxygen for activity and does not form hydrogen peroxide.
2,6-Dichloroindophenol, methylene blue, nitroblue tetrazolium,
phenazine methosulfate and Cu(II) in the presence of imidazole can
act as acceptors. This enzyme plays a part in regulating rice-grain
production, with lower levels of the enzyme resulting in enhanced
grain production [2]. |
