FunFam 7: Polyphenol oxidase, chloroplastic

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Catechol oxidase. [EC: 1.10.3.1]
2 catechol + O(2) = 2 1,2-benzoquinone + 2 H(2)O.
  • A type 3 copper protein that catalyzes exclusively the oxidation of catechols (i.e., o-diphenols) to the corresponding o-quinones.
  • The enzyme also acts on a variety of substituted catechols.
  • It is different from tyrosinase, EC 1.14.18.1, which can catalyze both the monooxygenation of monophenols and the oxidation of catechols.

(+)-larreatricin hydroxylase. [EC: 1.14.99.47]
(+)-larreatricin + O(2) + AH(2) = (+)-3'-hydroxylarreatricin + A + H(2)O.
  • Isolated from the plant Larrea tridentata (creosote bush).
  • The enzyme has a strong preference for the 3' position of (+)- larreatricin.

Aureusidin synthase. [EC: 1.21.3.6]
(1) 2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-glucoside + O(2) = aureusidin 6-O-beta-glucoside + H(2)O. (2) 2 2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-glucoside + O(2) = 2 aureusidin 6-O-beta-glucoside + 2 H(2)O. (3) 2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-glucoside + O(2) = bracteatin 6-O-beta-glucoside + H(2)O.
  • Plays a key role in the yellow coloration of flowers such as Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon).
  • The enzyme is a homolog of plant polyphenol oxidase and catalyzes two separate chemical transformations, i.e. 3-hydroxylation and oxidative cyclization (2',-dehydrogenation).
  • H(2)O(2) activates reaction (1) but inhibits reaction (2).
  • Originally considered to act on the phenol but now thought to mainly act on the 4'-O-beta-glucoside in vivo.
