Sysname
4-methoxybenzoate,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (O-demethylating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
4-methoxybenzoate + reduced acceptor + O2 = 4-hydroxybenzoate + formaldehyde + acceptor + H2O [RN:
R01306 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
The bacterial enzyme consists of a ferredoxin-type protein and an iron-sulfur flavoprotein (FMN). Also acts on 4-ethoxybenzoate, N-methyl-4-aminobenzoate and toluate. The fungal enzyme acts best on veratrate.
