Description | This entry describes the coenzyme PQQ (pyrrolo-quinoline-quinone) biosynthesis protein PqqC. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is the prosthetic group of several bacterial enzymes, including methanol dehydrogenase of methylotrophs and the glucose dehydrogenase of a number of bacteria [ ]. PQQC is an oxidase whose reaction involves a ring closure and eight-electron oxidation of its substrate (AHQQ) to produce PQQ []. This entry does not include related proteins likely to be functionally distinct from PqqC, such as homologues found in the Chlamydias. | Name | Coenzyme PQQ biosynthesis protein C |
