Reaction: resorcinol + NADH + H+ + O2 = hydroxyquinol + NAD+ + H2O
Glossary: resorcinol = 1,3-dihydroxybenzene
hydroxyquinol = 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene
Other name(s): tsdB (gene name)
Systematic name: resorcinol,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (4-hydroxylating)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Rhodococcus jostii RHA1, is a single-component hydroxylase. The enzyme has no activity with NADPH. cf. EC 1.14.13.219, resorcinol 4-hydroxylase (NADPH), and EC 1.14.14.27, resorcinol 4-hydroxylase (FADH2).
