Reaction: (1a) 2 2-aminophenol + O2 = 2 6-iminocyclohexa-2,4-dienone + 2 H2O
(1b) 2 6-iminocyclohexa-2,4-dienone + oxidant = 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one + reduced oxidant (spontaneous)

Glossary: 6-iminocyclohexa-2,4-dienone = 1,2-benzoquinone monoimine
isophenoxazine = 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one

Other name(s): isophenoxazine synthase; o-aminophenol:O2 oxidoreductase; 2-aminophenol:O2 oxidoreductase; GriF

Systematic name: 2-aminophenol:oxygen oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein. While the enzyme from the plant Tecoma stans is activated by Mn2+ [1], that from the bacterium Streptomyces griseus (GriF) requires Cu2+ for maximal activity. Two molecules of the product 6-iminocyclohexa-2,4-dienone (i.e. 1,2-benzoquinone monoimine) spontaneously condense with oxidation to yield 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one [4]. 3-Amino-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, which has a -CHO group at the para-position with respect to the hydroxy group of 2-aminophenol, was found to be the best substrate for GriF [4].

[EC 1.10.99.1 created 1984]

EC 1.10.99.2

Accepted name: ribosyldihydronicotinamide dehydrogenase (quinone)

Reaction: 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,4-dihydronicotinamide + a quinone = 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)nicotinamide + a hydroquinone

For diagram click here.

Other name(s): NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2; NQO2; NQO2; NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-2 (misleading); QR2; quinone reductase 2; N-ribosyldihydronicotinamide dehydrogenase (quinone); NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase2 (misleading)

Systematic name: 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,4-dihydronicotinamide:quinone oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein. Unlike EC 1.6.5.2, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone), this quinone reductase cannot use NADH or NADPH; instead it uses N-ribosyl- and N-alkyldihydronicotinamides. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benz[a]anthracene, and the oestrogens 17β-estradiol and diethylstilbestrol are potent inhibitors, but dicoumarol is only a very weak inhibitor [2]. This enzyme can catalyse both 2-electron and 4-electron reductions, but one-electron acceptors, such as potassium ferricyanide, cannot be reduced [3].

EC 1.10.99.3

Accepted name: violaxanthin de-epoxidase

Reaction: (1) violaxanthin + ascorbate = antheraxanthin + dehydroascorbate + H2O

(2) antheraxanthin + ascorbate = zeaxanthin + dehydroascorbate + H2O

For diagram click here.

Other name(s): VDE

Systematic name: violaxanthin:ascorbate oxidoreductase

Comments: Along with EC 1.14.13.90, 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.

EC 1.11.1.15

Accepted name: peroxiredoxin

Reaction: 2 R'-SH + ROOH = R'-S-S-R' + H2O + ROH

For diagram click here

Other name(s): thioredoxin peroxidase; tryparedoxin peroxidase; alkyl hydroperoxide reductase C22; AhpC; TrxPx; TXNPx; Prx; PRDX

Systematic name: thiol-containing-reductant:hydroperoxide oxidoreductase

Comments: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a ubiquitous family of antioxidant proteins. They can be divided into three classes: typical 2-Cys, atypical 2-Cys and 1-Cys peroxiredoxins [1]. The peroxidase reaction comprises two steps centred around a redox-active cysteine called the peroxidatic cysteine. All three peroxiredoxin classes have the first step in common, in which the peroxidatic cysteine attacks the peroxide substrate and is oxidized to S-hydroxycysteine (a sulfenic acid) (see mechanism). The second step of the peroxidase reaction, the regeneration of cysteine from S-hydroxycysteine, distinguishes the three peroxiredoxin classes. For typical 2-Cys Prxs, in the second step, the peroxidatic S-hydroxycysteine from one subunit is attacked by the 'resolving' cysteine located in the C-terminus of the second subunit, to form an intersubunit disulfide bond, which is then reduced by one of several cell-specific thiol-containing reductants (R'-SH) (e.g. thioredoxin, AhpF, tryparedoxin or AhpD), completing the catalytic cycle. In the atypical 2-Cys Prxs, both the peroxidatic cysteine and its resolving cysteine are in the same polypeptide, so their reaction forms an intrachain disulfide bond [1]. To recycle the disulfide, known atypical 2-Cys Prxs appear to use thioredoxin as an electron donor [3]. The 1-Cys Prxs conserve only the peroxidatic cysteine, so that its oxidized form is directly reduced to cysteine by the reductant molecule [4].
