Abstract

Some properties of enacyloxin (ENX) oxidase from Frateuria sp. [Oyama et al., Biosci. Biotech. Biochem., 58, 1914-1917 (1994)] were studied. The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of ENX IVa, ENX IIIa, and decarbamoyl ENX IVa, specifically. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were pH 9.0 and 60°C, respectively. It is suggested that the enzyme is a quinoprotein but its redox cofactor is different from pyrroloquinoline quinone.
