IUBMB CommentsThis enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes. The enzyme is a dimeric heme-protein oxidase that catalyses the oxidative dimerization of two L-tryptophan-derived molecules to form dichlorochromopyrrolic acid, the precursor for the fused six-ring indolocarbazole scaffold of rebeccamycin . Contains one molecule of heme b per monomer, as well as non-heme iron that is not part of an iron-sulfur center . In vivo the enzyme uses hydrogen peroxide, formed by the enzyme upstream in the biosynthetic pathway (EC 1.4.3.23, 7-chloro-L-tryptophan oxidase) as the electron acceptor. However, the enzyme is also able to catalyse the reaction using molecular oxygen .

RebD is a heme-containing peroxidase-like enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative linking of two tryptophan skeletons to form dichlorochromopyrrolic acid. RebD reacts as a peroxidase forming two indole-3-pyruvic acid imine radicals that recombine as a CC bond in the chromopyrrolic acid. When catalase is included to remove H2O2, chromopyrrolic acid can still be formed because the indole-3-pyruvic acid imine rapidly reduces RebD, which reacts with O2, utilizing oxidase-peroxidase chemistry to produce chromopyrrolic acid. Reduced RebD can also react with H2O2 forming Cpd II (state of a hemoprotein that is 1 equivalent of oxidation greater than the ferric form and contains an oxoferryl center) directly, which can oxidize indole-3-pyruvic acid imine. Competitng robust catalase activity of RebD
