title: Properties of anthranilate hydroxylase (deaminating), a flavoprotein from Trichosporon cutaneum.
abstract: Anthranilate hydroxylase was purified from the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum. This enzyme is a simple flavoprotein which apparently does not require any additional cofactor for the conversion of anthranilate to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate. Anthranilate hydroxylase has Mr of approximately 95,000, with subunit Mr of 50,000; it contains 2 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme. A number of compounds in addition to anthranilate serve as substrates, or effectors, for this enzyme. Oxygen-labeling experiments show that the oxygen atom at the 3-position of the product, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate, originates from O2, while that at the 2-position is derived from H2O. A mechanism is proposed involving imine formation and hydrolysis during the reaction with the flavin hydroperoxide formed from reduced enzyme flavin and molecular oxygen. This proposal is in accord with the mechanism postulated for other flavoprotein aromatic hydroxylases.
