Reaction: 4-hydroxyphenylacetate + FADH2 + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate + FAD + H2O
Other name(s): p-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase; 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid-3-hydroxylase; p-hydroxyphenylacetate hydroxylase (FAD); 4 HPA 3-hydroxylase; p-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase (FAD); HpaB
Systematic name: 4-hydroxyphenylacetate,FADH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating)
Comments: The enzyme from Escherichia coli attacks a broad spectrum of phenolic compounds. The enzyme uses FADH2 as a substrate rather than a cofactor [4]. FADH2 is provided by EC 1.5.1.36, flavin reductase (NADH) [5,6].
