| Name |
tryptophan 5-monooxygenase;
L-tryptophan hydroxylase;
indoleacetic acid-5-hydroxylase;
tryptophan 5-hydroxylase;
tryptophan hydroxylase |
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or
reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived
from O2;
With reduced pteridine as one donor, and incorporation of one atom
of oxygen into the other donor
 |
| Sysname |
L-tryptophan,tetrahydrobiopterin:oxygen oxidoreductase
(5-hydroxylating) |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
L-tryptophan + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan +
4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin [RN:R07213] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R07213;
(other) R01814
 |
| Substrate |
L-tryptophan [CPD:C00078];
tetrahydrobiopterin [CPD:C00272];
O2 [CPD:C00007] |
| Product |
5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan [CPD:C00643];
4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin [CPD:C15522] |
| Cofactor |
Iron [CPD:C00023] |
| Comment |
The active centre contains mononuclear iron(II). The enzyme is
activated by phosphorylation, catalysed by a Ca2+-activated protein
kinase. The 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin formed can dehydrate to
6,7-dihydrobiopterin, both spontaneously and by the action of EC
4.2.1.96, 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase. The
6,7-dihydrobiopterin can be enzymically reduced back to
tetrahydrobiopterin, by EC 1.5.1.34 (6,7-dihydropteridine
reductase), or slowly rearranges into the more stable compound
7,8-dihydrobiopterin. |
