EC 1.13.12.3     
Accepted name: tryptophan 2-monooxygenase
Reaction: L-tryptophan + O2 = (indol-3-yl)acetamide + CO2 + H2O
Other name(s): tms1 (gene name); iaaM (gene name)
Systematic name: L-tryptophan:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Comments: The enzyme, studied from phytopathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas savastanoi, is involved in a pathway for the production of (indol-3-yl)acetate (IAA), the main auxin hormone in plants.
