Enzyme Information

3.3.2.8
Limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9ZAG3
1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene + H(2)O = menth-8-ene-1,2-diol.
-!- Involved in the monoterpene degradation pathway of the actinomycete Rhodococcus erythropolis. -!- The enzyme hydrolyzes several alicyclic and 1-methyl-substituted epoxides, such as 1-methylcyclohexene oxide, indene oxide and cyclohexene oxide. -!- It differs from the previously described epoxide hydrolases (EC 3.3.2.4, EC 3.3.2.6, EC 3.3.2.7, EC 3.3.2.9 and EC 3.3.2.10) as it is not inhibited by 2-bromo-4'-nitroacetophenone, diethyl pyrocarbonate, 4-fluorochalcone oxide or 1,10-phenanthroline.
