EC 1.14.14.137

Accepted name: (+)-abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase

Reaction: (+)-abscisate + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 8'-hydroxyabscisate + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O

Other name(s): (+)-ABA 8'-hydroxylase; ABA 8'-hydroxylase; CYP707A1 (gene name)

Systematic name: abscisate,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (8'-hydroxylating)

Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein found in plants. Catalyses the first step in the oxidative degradation of abscisic acid and is considered to be the pivotal enzyme in controlling the rate of degradation of this plant hormone [1]. CO inhibits the reaction, but its effects can be reversed by the presence of blue light [1]. The 8'-hydroxyabscisate formed can be converted into (–)-phaseic acid, most probably spontaneously.
