Accepted name: |
indole-3-acetate monooxygenase |
Reaction: |
(indol-3-yl)acetate + NADH + H+ + O2 = (2-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate + NAD+ + H2O |
Glossary: |
(indol-3-yl)acetate =(1H-indol-3-yl)acetate = indole-3-acetate |
Other name(s): |
iacA (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
(indol-3-yl)acetate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating) |
Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from Pseudomonas putida strains, catalyses the first step in a pathway for degradation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetate. When acting on indole, the enzyme forms indoxyl, which reacts spontaneously with oxygen to form the blue dye indigo. |
