FAMILY

bacterial ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase alpha subunit family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as HCAE_SHIF8, hcaE. Part of the multicomponent 3-phenylpropionate dioxygenase. Converts 3-phenylpropionic acid (PP) and cinnamic acid (CI) into 3-phenylpropionate-dihydrodiol (PP-dihydrodiol) and cinnamic acid-dihydrodiol (CI-dihydrodiol), respectively. This dioxygenase system consists of four proteins: the two subunits of the hydroxylase component (HcaE and HcaF), a ferredoxin (HcaC) and a ferredoxin reductase (HcaD).
