6β-Hydroxyhyoscyamine epoxidase

In enzymology, a 6β-hydroxyhyoscyamine epoxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(6S)-6-hydroxyhyoscyamine + 2-oxoglutarate + O<sub>2</sub> scopolamine + succinate + CO<sub>2</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are (6S)-6-hydroxyhyoscyamine, 2-oxoglutarate, and O<sub>2</sub>, whereas its 4 products are scopolamine, succinate, CO<sub>2</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O<sub>2</sub> as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O<sub>2</sub> with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into each donor. This enzyme participates in alkaloid biosynthesis ii. It has two cofactors: iron and ascorbate.

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is (6S)-6-hydroxyhyoscyamine,2-oxoglutarate oxidoreductase (epoxide-forming). This enzyme is also called hydroxyhyoscyamine dioxygenase.
