Abstract
Objective
Non-haem iron(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (i2OGdd), are a taxonomically and functionally diverse group of enzymes. The active site comprises ferrous iron in a hexa-coordinated distorted octahedron with the apoenzyme, 2-oxoglutarate and a displaceable water molecule. Current information on novel i2OGdd members is sparse and relies on computationally-derived annotation schema. The dissimilar amino acid composition and variable active site geometry thereof, results in differing reaction chemistries amongst i2OGdd members. An additional need of researchers is a curated list of sequences with putative i2OGdd function which can be probed further for empirical data.
