Proposed Changes to the Enzyme List

The entries below are proposed additions and amendments to the Enzyme Nomenclature list. They were prepared for the NC-IUBMB by Keith Tipton, Sinèad Boyce, Gerry Moss, Dick Cammack and Hal Dixon, with assistance from Alan Chester, and were put on the web by Gerry Moss. Comments and suggestions on these draft entries should be sent to Professor K.F. Tipton and Dr S. Boyce (Department of Biochemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland). These entries were made public May 2004 and approved June 2004.

An asterisk before 'EC' indicates that this is an amendment to an existing enzyme rather than a new enzyme entry.

EC 1.1.99.29

Common name: pyranose dehydrogenase (acceptor)

Reaction: (1) pyranose + acceptor = 2-dehydropyranose (or 3-dehydropyranose or 2,3-didehydropyranose) + reduced acceptor

(2) a pyranoside + acceptor = a 3-dehydropyranoside (or 3,4-didehydropyranoside) + reduced acceptor

Glossary: ferricenium ion = bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(1+)

Other name(s): pyranose dehydrogenase; pyranose-quinone oxidoreductase; quinone-dependent pyranose dehydrogenase; PDH

Systematic name: pyranose:acceptor oxidoreductase

Comments: Requires FAD. A number of aldoses and ketoses in pyranose form, as well as glycosides, gluco-oligosaccharides, sucrose and lactose can act as a donor. 1,4-Benzoquinone or ferricenium ion (ferrocene oxidized by removal of one electron) can serve as acceptor. Unlike EC 1.1.3.10, pyranose oxidase, this fungal enzyme does not interact with O2 and exhibits extremely broad substrate tolerance with variable regioselectivity (C-3, C-2 or C-3 + C-2 or C-3 + C-4) for (di)oxidation of different sugars. D-Glucose is exclusively or preferentially oxidized at C-3 (depending on the enzyme source), but can also be oxidized at C-2 + C-3. The enzyme also acts on 1arrow right4-α- and 1arrow right4-β-gluco-oligosaccharides, non-reducing gluco-oligosaccharides and L-arabinose, which are not substrates of EC 1.1.3.10. Sugars are oxidized in their pyranose but not in their furanose form.

Glossary: Renilla luciferin = 2,8-dibenzyl-6-(4-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one

Other name(s): Renilla-type luciferase; aequorin; luciferase (Renilla luciferin)

Systematic name: Renilla-luciferin:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)

Comments: From the soft coral coelenterate Renilla reniformis. The luciferin is bound to a luciferin-binding protein (BP-LH2). The bioluminescent reaction between the luciferin complex, luciferase and oxygen is triggered by calcium ions. In vivo, the excited state luciferin—luciferase complex undergoes the process of nonradiative energy transfer to an accessory protein, Renilla green fluorescent protein, which results in green bioluminescence. In vitro, Renilla luciferase emits blue light in the absence of any green fluorescent protein.

Systematic name: phenylacetyl-CoA:quinone oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme from Thauera aromatica is a membrane-bound molybdenum—iron—sulfur protein. The enzyme is specific for phenylacetyl-CoA as substrate. Phenylacetate, acetyl-CoA, benzoyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA and 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA cannot act as substrates. The oxygen atom introduced into the product, phenylglyoxylyl-CoA, is derived from water and not molecular oxygen. Duroquinone, menaquinone and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) can act as acceptor, but the likely physiological acceptor is ubiquinone [1]. A second enzyme, EC 3.1.2.25, phenylglyoxylyl-CoA hydrolase, converts the phenylglyoxylyl-CoA formed into phenylglyoxylate.

EC 3.1.1.79

Common name: hormone-sensitive lipase

Reaction: (1) diacylglycerol + H2O = monoacylglycerol + a carboxylate

(2) triacylglycerol + H2O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate

(3) monoacylglycerol + H2O = glycerol + a carboxylate

Other name(s): HSL

Systematic name: diacylglycerol acylhydrolase

Comments: This enzyme is a serine hydrolase. Compared with other lipases, hormone-sensitive lipase has a uniquely broad substrate specificity. It hydrolyses all acylglycerols (triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol and monoacylglycerol) [2,3,4] as well as cholesteryl esters [2,4], steroid fatty acid esters [5], retinyl esters [6] and p-nitrophenyl esters [4,7]. It exhibits a preference for the 1- or 3-ester bond of its acylglycerol substrate compared with the 2-ester bond [8]. The enzyme shows little preference for the fatty acids in the triacylglycerol, although there is some increase in activity with decreasing chain length. The enzyme activity is increased in response to hormones that elevate intracellular levels of cAMP.

Systematic name: aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase

Comments: The enzyme from Pseudomonas chlororaphis contains Ca2+ and protoheme IX, the iron of which must be in the form Fe2+ for activity. The enzyme exhibits a strong preference for aliphatic aldoximes, such as butyraldoxime and acetaldoxime, over aromatic aldoximes, such as pyridine-2-aldoxime, which is a poor substrate.
