Accepted name: | vanillate/3-O-methylgallate O-demethylase | ||||||
Reaction: | (1) vanillate + tetrahydrofolate = protocatechuate + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (2) 3-O-methylgallate + tetrahydrofolate = gallate + 5-methyltetrahydrofolate |
||||||
Glossary: | protocatechuate = 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate vanillate = 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate gallate = 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate |
||||||
Other name(s): | ligM (gene name) | ||||||
Systematic name: | vanillate:tetrahydrofolate O-methyltransferase | ||||||
Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Sphingomonas sp. SYK6, is involved in the degradation of lignin. The enzyme has similar activities with vanillate and 3-O-methylgallate. | ||||||
