Accepted name: cyanocobalamin reductase
Reaction: 2 cob(II)alamin-[cyanocobalamin reductase] + 2 hydrogen cyanide + NADP+ = 2 cyanocob(III)alamin + 2 [cyanocobalamin reductase] + NADPH + H+
Other name(s): MMACHC (gene name); CblC; cyanocobalamin reductase (NADPH, cyanide-eliminating); cyanocobalamin reductase (NADPH, CN-eliminating); NADPH:cyanocob(III)alamin oxidoreductase (cyanide-eliminating); cob(I)alamin, cyanide:NADP+ oxidoreductase; cyanocobalamin reductase (cyanide-eliminating)
Systematic name: cob(II)alamin, hydrogen cyanide:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comments: The mammalian enzyme, which is cytosolic, can bind internalized cyanocobalamin and process it to cob(II)alamin by removing the upper axial ligand. The product remains bound to the protein, which, together with its interacting partner MMADHC, transfers it directly to downstream enzymes involved in adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin biosynthesis. In addition to its decyanase function, the mammalian enzyme also catalyses an entirely different chemical reaction with alkylcobalamins, using the thiolate of glutathione for nucleophilic displacement, generating cob(I)alamin and the corresponding glutathione thioether (cf. EC 2.5.1.151, alkylcobalamin dealkylase).

Comments: The enzyme, which belongs to the multicopper oxidase family, is found in many bacterial strains. It oxidizes soluble manganese(II) to insoluble manganese(IV) oxides. Since the enzyme is localized to the outer surface of the cell, its activity usually results in encrustation of the cells by the oxides. The physiological function of bacterial manganese(II) oxidation remains unclear.

Accepted name: cuproxidase
Reaction: 4 Cu+ + 4 H+ + O2 = 4 Cu2+ + 2 H2O
Other name(s): cueO (gene name); cuprous oxidase; Cu(I) oxidase; copper efflux oxidase
Systematic name: copper(I):oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, is involved in copper tolerance under aerobic conditions. The enzyme contains a substrate binding (type 1) copper site and a trinuclear copper center (consisting of type 2 and type 3 copper sites) in which oxygen binding and reduction takes place. It also contains a methionine rich region that can bind additional copper ions. In vitro, if the substrate binding site is occupied by copper(II), the enzyme can function as a laccase-type quinol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.2) . However, in vivo this site is occupied by a copper(I) ion and the enzyme functions as a cuprous oxidase.

Accepted name: [Co(II) methylated amine-specific corrinoid protein] reductase
Reaction: (1) ATP + a [Co(II) methylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + reduced acceptor + H2O = ADP + phosphate + a [Co(I) methylamine-specific corrinoid protein] + acceptor
Glossary: ramA (gene name)
Systematic name: acceptor:[cobalt(II) methylated amines-specific corrinoid protein] oxidoreductase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Comments: Methyltrophic corrinoid proteins must have the cobalt atom in the active cobalt(I) state to become methylated. Because the cobalt(I)/cobalt(II) transformation has a very low redox potential the corrinoid cofactor is subject to adventitious oxidation to the cobalt(II) state, which renders the proteins inactive. This enzyme, characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina barkeri, reduces cobalt(II) back to cobalt(I), restoring activity. The enzyme acts on the corrinoid proteins involved in methanogenesis from methylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine, namely MtmC, MtbC, and MttC, respectively. While in vitro the enzyme can use Ti(III)-citrate as the electron donor, the in vivo donor is not known. The enzyme from Methanosarcina barkeri contains a C-terminal [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin-like domain.

Systematic name: CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-D-glucose:NAD(P)+ 3-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme consists of two proteins. One forms an enzyme-bound adduct of the CDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxyglucose with pyridoxamine phosphate, in which the 3-hydroxy group has been removed. The second catalyses the reduction of this adduct by NAD(P)H and release of the CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-D-glucose and pyridoxamine phosphate.

Systematic name: (2R,3S)-catechin:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses the synthesis of catechin, catechin-4β-ol (leucocyanidin) and the related flavan-3-ols afzelechin and gallocatechin, which are initiating monomers in the synthesis of plant polymeric proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins. While 2,3-trans-3,4-cis-leucocyanidin is the preferred flavan-3,4-diol substrate, 2,3-trans-3,4-cis-leucodelphinidin and 2,3-trans-3,4-cis-leucopelargonidin can also act as substrates, but more slowly. NADH can replace NADPH but is oxidized more slowly.

Glossary: 4-mercuribenzoate = (4-carboxylatophenyl)mercury
Other name(s): NAD+-xanthine dehydrogenase; xanthine-NAD+ oxidoreductase; xanthine/NAD+ oxidoreductase; xanthine oxidoreductase
Systematic name: xanthine:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comments: Acts on a variety of purines and aldehydes, including hypoxanthine. The mammalian enzyme can also convert all-trans retinol to all-trans-retinoate, while the substrate is bound to a retinoid-binding protein [14]. The enzyme from eukaryotes contains [2Fe-2S], FAD and a molybdenum centre. The mammalian enzyme predominantly exists as the NAD-dependent dehydrogenase (EC 1.17.1.4). During purification the enzyme is largely converted to an O2-dependent form, xanthine oxidase (EC 1.17.3.2). The conversion can be triggered by several mechanisms, including the oxidation of cysteine thiols to form disulfide bonds [2,6,8,15] [which can be catalysed by EC 1.8.4.7, enzyme-thiol transhydrogenase (glutathione-disulfide) in the presence of glutathione disulfide] or limited proteolysis, which results in irreversible conversion. The conversion can also occur in vivo [2,7,15].

Systematic name: (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate:NAD(P)+ 4-oxidoreductase
Comments: The substrate of the enzyme was initially thought to be (S)-2,3-dihydrodipicolinate [1], and the enzyme was classified accordingly as EC 1.3.1.26, dihydrodipicolinate reductase. Later studies of the enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli have suggested that the actual substrate of the enzyme is (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate, and that its activity includes a dehydration step [2], and thus the enzyme has been reclassified as 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrodipicolinate reductase. However, the identity of the substrate is still controversial, as more recently it has been suggested that it may be (S)-2,3-dihydrodipicolinate after all [3].

Accepted name: nicotinate dehydrogenase (cytochrome)
Reaction: nicotinate + a ferricytochrome + H2O = 6-hydroxynicotinate + a ferrocytochrome
Other name(s): nicotinic acid hydroxylase; nicotinate hydroxylase
Systematic name: nicotinate:cytochrome 6-oxidoreductase (hydroxylating)
Comments: This two-component enzyme from Pseudomonas belongs to the family of xanthine dehydrogenases, but differs from most other members of this family. While most members contain an FAD cofactor, the large subunit of this enzyme contains three c-type cytochromes, enabling it to interact with the electron transfer chain, probably by delivering the electrons to a cytochrome oxidase. The small subunit contains a typical molybdopterin cytosine dinucleotide(MCD) cofactor and two [2Fe-2S] clusters [1].

Systematic name: xanthine:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: An iron-molybdenum flavoprotein (FAD) containing [2Fe-2S] centres. Also oxidizes hypoxanthine, some other purines and pterins, and aldehydes, but is distinct from EC 1.2.3.1, aldehyde oxidase. Under some conditions the product is mainly superoxide rather than peroxide: RH + H2O + 2 O2 = ROH + 2 O2.- + 2 H+. The mammalian enzyme predominantly exists as an NAD-dependent dehydrogenase (EC 1.17.1.4, xanthine dehydrogenase). During purification the enzyme is largely converted to the O2-dependent xanthine oxidase form (EC 1.17.3.2). The conversion can be triggered by several mechanisms, including the oxidation of cysteine thiols to form disulfide bonds [4,5,7,10] [which can be catalysed by EC 1.8.4.7, enzyme-thiol transhydrogenase (glutathione-disulfide) in the presence of glutathione disulfide] or limited proteolysis, which results in irreversible conversion. The conversion can also occur in vivo [4,6,10].

Systematic name: 2'-deoxyribonucleoside-5'-diphosphate:thioredoxin-disulfide 2'-oxidoreductase
Comments: This enzyme is responsible for the de novo conversion of ribonucleoside diphosphates into deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates, which are essential for DNA synthesis and repair. There are three types of this enzyme differing in their cofactors. Class Ia enzymes contain a diiron(III)-tyrosyl radical, class Ib enzymes contain a dimanganese-tyrosyl radical, and class II enzymes contain adenosylcobalamin. In all cases the cofactors are involved in generation of a transient thiyl radical on a cysteine residue, which attacks the substrate, forming a ribonucleotide 3'-radical, followed by water loss to form a ketyl radical. The ketyl radical is reduced to 3'-keto-deoxynucleotide concomitant with formation of a disulfide anion radical between two cysteine residues. A proton-coupled electron-transfer from the disulfide radical to the substrate generates a 3'-deoxynucleotide radical, and the final product is formed when the hydrogen atom that was initially removed from the 3'-position of the nucleotide by the thiyl radical is returned to the same position. The disulfide bridge is reduced by the action of thioredoxin. cf. EC 1.1.98.6, ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase (formate) and EC 1.17.4.2, ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase (thioredoxin).

Systematic name: 2'-deoxyribonucleoside-5'-triphosphate:thioredoxin-disulfide 2'-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Lactobacillus leichmannii, is similar to class II ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase (cf. EC 1.17.4.1). However, it is specific for the triphosphate versions of its substrates. The enzyme contains an adenosylcobalamin cofactor that is involved in generation of a transient thiyl (sulfanyl)radical on a cysteine residue. This radical attacks the substrate, forming a ribonucleotide 3'-radical, followed by water loss to form a ketyl (α-oxoalkyl) radical. The ketyl radical is reduced to 3'-keto-deoxynucleotide concomitant with formation of a disulfide anion radical between two cysteine residues. A proton-coupled electron-transfer from the disulfide radical to the substrate generates a 3'-deoxynucleotide radical, and the final product is formed when the hydrogen atom that was initially removed from the 3'-position of the nucleotide by the thiyl radical is returned to the same position. The disulfide bridge is reduced by the action of thioredoxin. cf. EC 1.1.98.6, ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase (formate).

A second enzyme, EC 3.1.2.25, phenylacetyl-CoA hydrolase, converts the phenylglyoxylyl-CoA formed into phenylglyoxylate.

Systematic name: 4-methylphenol:oxidized azurin oxidoreductase (methyl-hydroxylating)
Comments: This bacterial enzyme contains a flavin (FAD) subunit and a cytochrome c subunit. The flavin subunit abstracts two hydrogen atoms from the substrate, forming a quinone methide intermediate, then hydrates the latter at the benzylic carbon with a hydroxyl group derived from water. The protons are lost to the bulk solvent, while the electrons are passed to the heme on the cytochrome subunit, and from there to azurin, a small copper-binding protein that is co-localized with the enzyme in the periplasm. The first hydroxylation forms 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol; a second hydroxylation converts this into 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde.

Systematic name: (25R)-3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholestan-26-oyl-CoA:acceptor 24-oxidoreductase (24R-hydroxylating)
Comments: Requires ATP. The reaction in mammals possibly involves dehydrogenation to give a 24(25)-double bond followed by hydration [1]. However, in amphibians such as the Oriental fire-bellied toad (Bombina orientalis), it is probable that the product is formed via direct hydroxylation of the saturated side chain of (25R)-3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholestan-26-oate and not via hydration of a 24(25) double bond [5]. In microsomes, the free acid is preferred to the coenzyme A ester, whereas in mitochondria, the coenzyme A ester is preferred to the free-acid form of the substrate [1].

Other name(s): COX15 (gene name); ctaA (gene name)
Systematic name: ferroheme o:acceptor C-81-oxidoreductase (heme a-forming)
Comments: Contains a heme b cofactor. The enzyme catalyses the conversion of heme o to heme a by two successive hydroxylations of the methyl group at C-8, using water as the oxygen source. The first hydroxylation forms heme i, the second hydroxylation results in an unstable dihydroxymethyl group, which spontaneously dehydrates, resulting in the formyl group of heme a [2,4]. The electrons produced by the reaction are transferred to a heme b cofactor [6]. However, the electron acceptor that is used to restore the heme b cofactor to its oxidized state is still not known (both a thioredoxin-like protein and menaquinol have been proposed).

Other name(s): reduced ferredoxin:dinitrogen oxidoreductase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Systematic name: ferredoxin:dinitrogen oxidoreductase (ATP-hydrolysing, molybdenum-dependent)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. The enzyme is a complex of two components (namely dinitrogen reductase and dinitrogenase). Dinitrogen reductase is a [4Fe-4S] protein, which, in the presence of two molecules of ATP, transfers an electron from ferredoxin to the dinitrogenase component. Dinitrogenase is a molybdenum-iron protein that reduces dinitrogen to two molecules of ammonia in three successive two-electron reductions via diazene and hydrazine. The reduction is initiated by formation of hydrogen in stoichiometric amounts [2]. Acetylene is reduced to ethylene (but only very slowly to ethane), azide to nitrogen and ammonia, and cyanide to methane and ammonia. In the absence of a suitable substrate, hydrogen is slowly formed. Ferredoxin may be replaced by flavodoxin [see EC 1.19.6.1 nitrogenase (flavodoxin)]. The enzyme does not reduce CO (cf. EC 1.18.6.2, vanadium-dependent nitrogenase).

Systematic name: ferredoxin:dinitrogen oxidoreductase (ATP-hydrolysing, vanadium-dependent)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. This enzyme, originally isolated from the bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii, is a complex of two components (namely dinitrogen reductase and dinitrogenase). Dinitrogen reductase is a [4Fe-4S] protein, which, in the presence of ATP, transfers an electron from ferredoxin to the dinitrogenase component. Dinitrogenase is a vanadium-iron protein that reduces dinitrogen to two molecules of ammonia in three successive two-electron reductions via diazine and hydrazine. Compared with molybdenum-depedent nitrogenase (EC 1.18.6.1), this enzyme produces more dihydrogen and consumes more ATP per dinitrogen molecule being reduced. Unlike EC 1.18.6.1, this enzyme can also use CO as substrate, producing ethene, ethane and propane [7,9].

EC 1.19.6 With dinitrogen as acceptor
Accepted name: nitrogenase (flavodoxin)
Reaction: 4 reduced flavodoxin + N2 + 16 ATP + 16 H2O = 4 oxidized flavodoxin + H2 + 2 NH3 + 16 ADP + 16 phosphate
Systematic name: reduced flavodoxin:dinitrogen oxidoreductase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. It is composed of two components, dinitrogen reductase and dinitrogenase, that can be separated but are both required for nitrogenase activity. Dinitrogen reductase is a [4Fe-4S] protein, which, at the expense of ATP, transfers electrons from a dedicated flavodoxin to dinitrogenase. Dinitrogenase is a protein complex that contains either a molybdenum-iron cofactor, a vanadium-iron cofactor, or an iron-iron cofactor, that reduces dinitrogen in three succesive two-electron reductions from nitrogen to diimine to hydrazine to two molecules of ammonia. The reduction is initiated by formation of hydrogen. The enzyme can also reduce acetylene to ethylene (but only very slowly to ethane), azide to nitrogen and ammonia, and cyanide to methane and ammonia. In the absence of a suitable substrate, hydrogen is slowly formed. Some enzymes utilize ferredoxin rather than flavodoxin as the electron donor (see EC 1.18.6.1, nitrogenase).

EC 1.20.4 With disulfide as acceptor
EC 1.20.4.3 mycoredoxin
EC 1.20.4.4 arsenate reductase (thioredoxin)
Accepted name: arsenate reductase (glutathione/glutaredoxin)
Reaction: arsenate + glutathione + glutaredoxin = arsenite + a glutaredoxin-glutathione disulfide + H2O
For diagram of reaction click here
Other name(s): ArsC (ambiguous); arsenate:glutaredoxin oxidoreductase; arsenate reductase (glutaredoxin)
Systematic name: arsenate:glutathione/glutaredoxin oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme is part of a system for detoxifying arsenate. The substrate binds to a catalytic cysteine residue, forming a covalent thiolate—As(V) intermediate. A tertiary intermediate is then formed between the arsenic, the enzyme's cysteine, and a glutathione cysteine. This intermediate is reduced by glutaredoxin, which forms a dithiol with the glutathione, leading to the dissociation of arsenite. Thus reduction of As(V) is mediated by three cysteine residues: one in ArsC, one in glutathione, and one in glutaredoxin. Although the arsenite formed is more toxic than arsenate, it can be extruded from some bacteria by EC 7.3.2.7, arsenite-transporting ATPase; in other organisms, arsenite can be methylated by EC 2.1.1.137, arsenite methyltransferase, in a pathway that produces non-toxic organoarsenical compounds. cf. EC 1.20.4.4, arsenate reductase (thioredoxin).

Other name(s): ArsC (ambiguous)
Systematic name: arsenate:thioredoxin oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized in bacteria of the Firmicutes phylum, is specific for thioredoxin [1]. It has no activity with glutaredoxin [cf. EC 1.20.4.1, arsenate reductase (glutaredoxin)]. Although the arsenite formed is more toxic than arsenate, it can be extruded from some bacteria by EC 7.3.2.7, arsenite-transporting ATPase; in other organisms, arsenite can be methylated by EC 2.1.1.137, arsenite methyltransferase, in a pathway that produces non-toxic organoarsenical compounds. The enzyme also has the activity of EC 3.1.3.48, protein-tyrosine-phosphatase [3].

For diagram of reaction mechanism click here
Other name(s): prdAB (gene names); D-proline reductase (dithiol)
Systematic name: 5-aminopentanoate:[PrdC protein] oxidoreductase (cyclizing)
Comments: A pyruvoyl- and L-selenocysteine-containing enzyme found in a number of Clostridial species. The pyruvoyl group, located on the PrdA subunit, binds the substrate, while the selenocysteine residue, located on the PrdB subunit, attacks the α-C-atom of D-proline, leading to a reductive cleavage of the C-N-bond of the pyrrolidine ring and formation of a selenoether. The selenoether is cleaved by a cysteine residue of PrdB, resulting in a mixed selenide-sulfide bridge, which is restored to its reduced state by another selenocysteine protein, PrdC. 5-aminopentanoate is released from PrdA by hydrolysis, regenerating the pyruvoyl moiety. The resulting mixed selenide-sulfide bridge in PrdC is reduced by NADH.

Subunit A, which also contains selenocysteine, is reduced by thioredoxin, and is needed to convert the carboxymethyl group into a ketene equivalent, in turn used by subunit C to produce acetyl phosphate. Only subunit B distinguishes this enzyme from EC 1.21.4.3 (sarcosine reductase) and EC 1.21.4.4 (betaine reductase).

Systematic name: 3-(7-chloroindol-3-yl)-2-iminopropanoate ammonia-lyase (dichlorochromopyrrolate-forming)
Comments: This enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes. The enzyme is a dimeric heme-protein oxidase that catalyses the oxidative dimerization of two L-tryptophan-derived molecules to form dichlorochromopyrrolic acid, the precursor for the fused six-ring indolocarbazole scaffold of rebeccamycin [1]. Contains one molecule of heme b per monomer, as well as non-heme iron that is not part of an iron-sulfur center [2]. In vivo the enzyme uses hydrogen peroxide, formed by the enzyme upstream in the biosynthetic pathway (EC 1.4.3.23, 7-chloro-L-tryptophan oxidase) as the electron acceptor. However, the enzyme is also able to catalyse the reaction using molecular oxygen [3].

Systematic name: a 2,3-bis-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-phospholipid:S-adenosyl-L-methionine,acceptor oxidoreductase (cyclyzing)
Comments: This archaeal enzyme catalyses a C—C bond formation during the biosynthesis of tetraether lipids. The bond is formed between the termini of two lipid tails from two glycerophospholipids to generate the macrocycle glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT). The enzyme does not distinguish whether the two lipids are connected in antiparallel or parallel geometry, resulting in formation of two forms of the product, which are known as caldarchaeol and isocaldarchaeol, respectively. The enzyme can also form macrocyclic archaeol phospholipids by joining the two lipid tails of a single substrate molecule. Even though the reaction shown here describes phospholipid substrates, the enzyme can also act on glycolipids or lipids that contains mixed types of polar head groups. The enzyme is a radical SAM enzyme that contains 3 [4Fe-4S] clusters and one mononuclear rubredoxin-like iron ion, each found in a separate domain. The enzyme uses the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical to initiate the reaction, which involves the formation of an intermediate bond between the substrate carbon and a sulfur of one of the [4Fe-4S] clusters. Two radicals are needed per C-C bond formed. The source of the required additional electrons is not known.

zeaxanthin = (3R,3'R)-β,β-carotene-3,3'-diol
Other name(s): VDE
Systematic name: violaxanthin:ascorbate oxidoreductase
Comments: Along with EC 1.14.15.21, zeaxanthin epoxidase, this enzyme forms part of the xanthophyll (or violaxanthin) cycle for controlling the concentration of zeaxanthin in chloroplasts. It is activated by a low pH of the thylakoid lumen (produced by high light intensity). Zeaxanthin induces the dissipation of excitation energy in the chlorophyll of the light-harvesting protein complex of photosystem II. In higher plants the enzyme reacts with all-trans-diepoxides, such as violaxanthin, and all-trans-monoepoxides, but in the alga Mantoniella squamata, only the diepoxides are good substrates.

Systematic name: [formate C-acetyltransferase]-glycine dihydroflavodoxin:S-adenosyl-L-methionine oxidoreductase (S-adenosyl-L-methionine cleaving)
Comments: An iron-sulfur protein. A single glycine residue in EC 2.3.1.54, formate C-acetyltransferase, is oxidized to the corresponding radical by transfer of H from its CH2 to AdoMet with concomitant cleavage of the latter. The reaction requires Fe2+. The first stage is reduction of the AdoMet to give methionine and the 5'-deoxyadenosin-5'-yl radical, which then abstracts a hydrogen radical from the glycine residue.

Glossary: 3-phenyl-2-oxopropanoate = phenylpyruvate
Other name(s): ubiquinone hydroxylase UbiUV
Systematic name: prephenate,acceptor:2-(all-trans-polyprenyl)phenol oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, catalyses three hydroxylation reactions in the oxygen-independent pathway for ubiquinone (UQ) biosynthesis. The reaction involves an electron acceptor whose identity remains unknown as of 2024. The Escherichia coli enzyme is a heterodimer, with both subunits containing a 4Fe-4S iron-sulfur cluster that is essential for activity and may serve as part of an electron transfer chain from the substrate to the unidentified electron acceptor.
