General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the oxidation of mono- and o-diphenols to o-diquinones. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

2 catechol + O2 = 2 1,2-benzoquinone + 2 H2O. Ref.1

Cofactor

Binds 2 copper ions per subunit By similarity. UniProtKB Q9ZP19

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Ref.1

Tissue specificity

Expressed in the rhizome. Not detected in leaves. Ref.1

Developmental stage

Expressed throughout rhizome development. Ref.1

Post-translational modification

Glycosylated. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the tyrosinase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 4.5. Active from pH 3.0 to 8.0. The activity decreases sharply above pH 7.5. Ref.1

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is 60 degrees Celsius. There is only a slight decrease in activity at 75 degrees Celsius and a sharp decrease in activity at 90 degrees Celsius. Ref.1
