Reaction: (3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetyl-CoA + O2 = 2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoacetate + CoA
Glossary: (3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetyl-CoA = 2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetyl-CoA
Other name(s): DpgC
Systematic name: (3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetyl-CoA:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from bacteria Streptomyces toyocaensis and Amycolatopsis orientalis, is involved in the biosynthesis of (3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)glycine, a component of the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin.
