Comments A flavin-dependent halogenase. The enzyme from the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes catalyses the initial step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin [2]. It utilizes molecular oxygen to oxidize the FADH2 cofactor, giving C4a-hydroperoxyflavin, which then reacts with chloride to produce a hypochlorite ion. The latter reacts with an active site lysine to generate a chloramine, which chlorinates the substrate. Also acts on bromide ion. cf. EC 1.14.19.58, tryptophan 5-halogenase, and EC 1.14.19.59, tryptophan 6-halogenase.
Cofactor
History
Reactions Tryptophan + FADH(2) + chloride + O(2) + H(+) = 7-chloro-L-tryptophan + Fad + 2 H(2)O.
