ID   1.3.99.8
DE   2-furoyl-CoA dehydrogenase.
AN   Furoyl-CoA hydroxylase.
CA   2-furoyl-CoA + H(2)O + acceptor = S-(5-hydroxy-2-furoyl)-CoA + reduced
CA   acceptor.
CF   Copper.
CC   -!- The oxygen atom of the -OH produced is derived from water, not O(2).
CC   -!- The actual oxidative step is probably dehydrogenation of a hydrated
CC       form -CHOH-CH(2)- to -C(OH)=CH-, which tautomerizes non-enzymically
CC       to -CO-CH(2)-, giving (5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-2-furoyl)-CoA.
CC   -!- Methylene blue, nitro blue tetrazolium and a membrane fraction from
CC       Pseudomonas putida can act as acceptors.
