Reaction: resorcinol + FADH2 + O2 = hydroxyquinol + FAD + H2O
Glossary: resorcinol = 1,3-dihydroxybenzene
hydroxyquinol = 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene
Other name(s): graA (gene name)
Systematic name: resorcinol,FADH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (4-hydroxylating)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Rhizobium sp. strain MTP-10005, uses FADH2 as a substrate rather than a cofactor. FADH2 is provided by a dedicated EC 1.5.1.36, flavin reductase (NADH). The enzyme participates in the degradation of γ-resorcylate and resorcinol. cf. EC 1.14.13.220, resorcinol 4-hydroxylase (NADH), and EC 1.14.13.219, resorcinol 4-hydroxylase (NADPH).
