BRITE hierarchy
Sysname N6-dimethylallyladenine:acceptor oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB) N6-dimethylallyladenine + acceptor + H2O = adenine +
3-methylbut-2-enal + reduced acceptor [RN:R05708]
Reaction(KEGG) R05708
Show
Substrate N6-dimethylallyladenine [CPD:C04083];
acceptor [CPD:C00028];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product adenine [CPD:C00147];
3-methylbut-2-enal [CPD:C07330];
reduced acceptor [CPD:C00030]
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].
