Comments
Trp57 is modified and covalently bonded to the sidechain of Trp108 to form a cofactor, tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ).
Amicyanin (Swiss-prot;P22364) is a primary acceptor, whilst cytochrome c (Swiss-prot;P29899) is a secondary acceptor. Thus, this enzyme catalyzes the following reactions (see [30], [37]):
(A) Exchange of double-bonded atoms (carbonyl bond by amine; Schiff-base formation), releasing H2O:
(B) Isomerization (shift of double-bond position):
(C) Exchange of double-bonded atoms (Schiff-base deformation by water), giving aldehyde product and aminoquinol TTQ:
(D) Electron transfer from aminoquinol TTQ to copper of the primary acceptor protein, amicyanin, leading to formation of aminosemiquinone TTQ:
(E) Exchange of double-bonded atoms (Schiff-base deformation by water), giving TTQ and ammonia:
The transferred electron is transferred further to Heme group of the secondary acceptor, cytochrome c.
