FunFam 12027: 4-cresol dehydrogenase [hydroxylating] flavoprotei...

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
4-methylphenol dehydrogenase (hydroxylating). [EC: 1.17.99.1]
4-methylphenol + 2 acceptor + H(2)O = 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde + 2 reduced acceptor.
  • Phenazine methosulfate can act as acceptor.
  • A quinone methide is probably formed as intermediate.
  • The first hydroxylation forms 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol; a second hydroxylation converts this into 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde.

Vanillyl-alcohol oxidase. [EC: 1.1.3.38]
Vanillyl alcohol + O(2) = vanillin + H(2)O(2).
  • Converts a wide range of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohols and 4-hydroxybenzylamines into the corresponding aldehydes.
  • The allyl group of 4-allylphenols is also converted into the -CH=CH-CH(2)OH group.
