EC 1.17.99.8     
Accepted name: limonene dehydrogenase
Reaction: (1) (S)-limonene + H2O + acceptor = (–)-perillyl alcohol + reduced acceptor
(2) (R)-limonene + H2O + acceptor = (+)-perillyl alcohol + reduced acceptor
Glossary: limonene = 1-methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-1-ene
perillyl alcohol = [4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-1-en-1-yl]methanol
(–)-perillyl alcohol = (S)-perillyl alcohol = [(4S)-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-1-en-1-yl]methanol
(+)-perillyl alcohol = (R)-perillyl alcohol = [(4R)-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-1-en-1-yl]methanol
(–)-limonene = (S)-limonene = (4S)-1-methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohexene
(+)-limonene = (R)-limonene = (4R)-1-methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohexene
Other name(s): ctmAB (gene names)
Systematic name: limonene:acceptor oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating)
Comments: Contains FAD. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Castellaniella defragrans 65Phen, hydroxylates the R- and S-enantiomers at a similar rate. The in vivo electron acceptor may be a heterodimeric electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF).
