1.5.99.4 | (S)-nicotine + acceptor + H2O |
via N-methylmyosmine, which then spontaneously hydrolyzes to pseudooxynicotine. The two enantiomers are degraded at approximately the same rate, indicating that NOX does not show chiral selectivity |
1.5.99.4 | D-nicotine + acceptor + H2O |
isozyme specific for the D-isomer |
1.5.99.4 | DL-nicotine + ? |
first enzyme in nicotine pathway |
1.5.99.4 | L-nicotine + acceptor + H2O |
isozyme strictly specific for the L-isomer |
1.5.99.4 | more |
enzyme expression and activity is regulated by substrate and product level via transcription repressor HdnoR |
1.5.99.4 | more |
organism can grow on L-nicotine since it is converted to D-nicotine by a racemase |
