Glossary: 4-pyridoxate = 3-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridine-4-carboxylate
dichloroindophenol = DCPIP = 2,6-dichloro-4-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)imino]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one
Other name(s): mlr6792 (locus name)
Systematic name: 4-pyridoxate:acceptor 5-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Pseudomonas sp. MA-1 and Mesorhizobium loti, participates in the degradation of pyridoxine (vitamin B6). It is membrane bound and contains FAD. The enzyme has been assayed in vitro in the presence of the artificial electron acceptor dichloroindophenol (DCPIP).
