*EC 1.3.5.1

Accepted name: succinate dehydrogenase (quinone)

Reaction: succinate + a quinone = fumarate + a quinol

For diagram of reaction click here.

Other name(s): succinate dehydrogenase (ubiquinone); succinic dehydrogenase; complex II (ambiguous); succinate dehydrogenase complex; SDH; succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase

Systematic name: succinate:quinone oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD) complex containing iron-sulfur centres. The enzyme is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane of many aerobic or facultative bacteria. It catalyses succinate oxidation in the citric acid cycle and transfers the electrons to quinones in the membrane, thus constituting a part of the aerobic respiratory chain (known as complex II). In vivo the enzyme uses the quinone found in the organism - eukaryotic enzymes utilize ubiquinone, bacterial enzymes utilize ubiquinone or menaquinone, and archaebacterial enzymes from the Sulfolobus genus use caldariellaquinone cf. EC 1.3.5.4, fumarate reductase (quinone).

*EC 1.10.3.11

Accepted name: ubiquinol oxidase (non-electrogenic)

Reaction: 2 ubiquinol + O2 = 2 ubiquinone + 2 H2O

Other name(s): plant alternative oxidase; cyanide-insensitive oxidase; AOX (gene name); ubiquinol oxidase

Systematic name: ubiquinol:O2 oxidoreductase (non-electrogenic)

Comments: The enzyme, described from the mitochondria of plants and some fungi and protists, is an alternative terminal oxidase that is not sensitive to cyanide inhibition and does not generate a proton motive force. Unlike the electrogenic terminal oxidases that contain hemes (cf. EC 1.10.3.10 and EC 1.10.3.14), this enzyme contains a dinuclear non-heme iron complex. The function of this oxidase is believed to be dissipating excess reducing power, minimizing oxidative stress, and optimizing photosynthesis in response to changing conditions.

Other name(s): cytochrome bd-I oxidase; cydA (gene name); cydB (gene name)

Systematic name: ubiquinol:O2 oxidoreductase (electrogenic, non H+-transporting)

Comments: This terminal oxidase enzyme is unable to pump protons but generates a proton motive force by transmembrane charge separation resulting from utilizing protons and electrons originating from opposite sides of the membrane to generate water. The bioenergetic efficiency (the number of charges driven across the membrane per electron used to reduce oxygen to water) is 1. The bd-I oxidase from the bacterium Escherichia coli is the predominant respiratory oxygen reductase that functions under microaerophilic conditions in that organism. cf. EC 1.10.3.10, ubiquinol oxidase (H+-transporting).

EC 2.3.1.232

Accepted name: methanol O-anthraniloyltransferase

Reaction: anthraniloyl-CoA + methanol = CoA + O-methyl anthranilate

Glossary: anthraniloyl-CoA = 2-aminobenzoyl-CoA

Other name(s): AMAT; anthraniloyl-coenzyme A (CoA):methanol acyltransferase

Systematic name: anthraniloyl-coenzyme A:methanol O-anthraniloyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme from Concord grape (Vitis labrusca) is solely responsible for the production of O-methyl anthranilate, an important aroma and flavor compound in the grape. The enzyme has a broad substrate specificity, and can use a range of alcohols with substantial activity, the best being butanol, benzyl alcohol, iso-pentanol, octanol and 2-propanol. It can use benzoyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA as acyl donors with lower efficiency. In addition to O-methyl anthranilate, the enzyme might be responsible for the production of ethyl butanoate, methyl-3-hydroxy butanoate and ethyl-3-hydroxy butanoate, which are present in large quantities in the grapes. Also catalyses EC 2.3.1.196, benzyl alcohol O-benzoyltransferase.

Accepted name: deoxyribonuclease IV

Reaction: Endonucleolytic cleavage of ssDNA at apurinic/apyrimidinic sites to 5'-phosphooligonucleotide end-products

Other name(s): deoxyribonuclease IV (phage-T4-induced) (misleading); endodeoxyribonuclease IV (phage T4-induced) (misleading); E. coli endonuclease IV; endodeoxyribonuclease (misleading); redoxyendonuclease; deoxriboendonuclease (misleading); endonuclease II; endonuclease IV; DNA-adenine-transferase; nfo (gene name)

Comments: The enzyme is an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site endonuclease that primes DNA repair synthesis at AP sites. It specifically cleaves the DNA backbone at AP sites and also removes 3' DNA-blocking groups such as 3' phosphates, 3' phosphoglycolates, and 3' α,β-unsaturated aldehydes that arise from oxidative base damage and the activity of combined glycosylase/lyase enzymes. It is also the only known repair enzyme that is able to cleave the DNA backbone 5' of the oxidative lesion α-deoxyadenosine.The enzyme has a strong preference for single-stranded DNA.

Accepted name: T4 deoxyribonuclease II

Reaction: Endonucleolytic nicking and cleavage of cytosine-containing double-stranded DNA.

Other name(s): T4 endonuclease II; EndoII (ambiguous); denA (gene name)

Comments: Requires Mg2+. This phage T4 enzyme is involved in degradation of host DNA. The enzyme primarily catalyses nicking of the bottom strand of double stranded DNA between the first and second base pair to the right of a top-strand CCGC motif. Double-stranded breaks are produced 5- to 10-fold less frequently [3]. It does not cleave the T4 native DNA, which contains 5-hydroxymethylcytosine instead of cytosine.

ginsenoside Rh2 = 3β-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)dammar-24-ene-12β,20-diol

Systematic name: ginsenoside glucohydrolase

Comments: Ginsenosidase type I is slightly activated by Mg2+ or Ca2+ [1]. The enzyme hydrolyses the 3-O-β-D-(1→2)-glucosidic bond, the 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl bond and the 20-O-β-D-(1→6)-glycosidic bond of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides. It usually leaves a single glucosyl residue attached at position 20 and one or no glucosyl residues at position 3. Starting with a ginsenoside that is glycosylated at both positions (e.g. ginsenoside Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rc or Rd), the most common products are ginsenoside F2 and ginsenoside C-K, with low amounts of ginsenoside Rh2.
