Reaction: L-arginine + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = (3S)-3-hydroxy-L-arginine + succinate + CO2
Other name(s): VioC (ambiguous); L-arginine,2-oxoglutarate:O2 oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
Systematic name: L-arginine,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
Comments: Fe2+-dependent enzyme. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the cyclic pentapeptide antibiotic viomycin. It differs from EC 1.14.20.7, 2-oxoglutarate/L-arginine monooxygenase/decarboxylase (succinate-forming), because it does not form guanidine and (S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate from 3-hydroxy-L-arginine.
