(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetyl-CoA 1,2-dioxygenase

UniProtKB accession:  Q8KLK7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of the nonproteinogenic amino acid monomer (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (Dpg) responsible of the production of vancomycin and teicoplanin antibiotics. Catalyzes the unusual conversion 3,5-dihydroxyphenylacetyl-CoA (DPA-CoA) to 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglyoxylate. DpgC performed a net four-electron oxidation of the benzylic carbon of DPA-CoA and the hydrolysis of the thioester bond to generate free CoA (PubMed:18004875, PubMed:17507985). DpgC has the ability to process a diverse range of substituted phenylacetyl-CoA substrates (PubMed:18004875).
