Tryptophan 6-halogenase SttH

UniProtKB accession:  E9P162

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the chlorination of tryptophan (Trp) at C6 position to yield 6-chloro-tryptophan (PubMed:21424165, PubMed:26840773). Accepts both L and D-Trp as the substrates (PubMed:21424165). The enzyme also uses bromide to yield 6-bromo-Trp (PubMed:21424165). In vitro, can also catalyze the halogenation of 3-indolepropionic acid, N-methyltryptophan and non-indolic aromatic substrates such as kynurenine, anthranilamide and N-phenylanthranilic acid (PubMed:26840773).
