| 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. |
