Reaction: trans-feruloyl-CoA + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = trans-6-hydroxyferuloyl-CoA + succinate + CO2
Glossary: trans-feruloyl-CoA = 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl-CoA = (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propenoyl-CoA
Systematic name: feruloyl-CoA,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating)
Comments: Requires iron(II) and ascorbate. The product spontaneously undergoes trans-cis isomerization and lactonization to form scopoletin, liberating CoA in the process. The enzymes from the plants Ruta graveolens and Ipomoea batatas also act on trans-4-coumaroyl-CoA. cf. EC 1.14.11.62, trans-4-coumaroyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase.
