| Description | This entry represents a group of bacterial, fungal and plant sequences, including 2-oxoadipate dioxygenase/decarboxylase (YdcJ, ) from Escherichia coli. YdcJ, which is involved in D-lysine metabolism, catalyses a successive decarboxylation and intramolecular hydroxylation of 2-oxoadipate forming 2-hydroxyglutarate in a Fe(II) and oxygen-dependent manner. Members of this protein family are thought to belong to the the vicinal oxygen chelate (VOC) superfamily [ , ]. The structure has been solved (, ). | Name | 2-oxoadipate dioxygenase/decarboxylase |
| Short Name | YdcJ | Type | Family |
