Comment typeDescription
Biophysicochemical PropertiesKinetic parameters: KM=21.23 uM for L-tryptophan {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18026683}; KM=4.6 mM for D-tryptophan {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18026683}; Note=Catalytic efficiency for L-tryptophan is 150 times higher than for D-tryptophan.;
Catalytic ActivityD-tryptophan + O(2) = N-formyl-D-kynurenine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671174}.
Catalytic ActivityL-tryptophan + O(2) = N-formyl-L-kynurenine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671174}.
CofactorName=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Note=Binds 1 heme group per subunit.;
Enzyme RegulationActivity is inhibited by and MTH-trp (methylthiohydantoin-DL-tryptophan), modestly inhibited by L-1MT (1-methyl-L-tryptophan) but not D-1MT (1-methyl-D-tryptophan). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671174}.
FunctionCatalyzes the cleavage of the pyrrol ring of tryptophan and incorporates both atoms of a molecule of oxygen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671174}.
InductionBy IFNG/IFN-gamma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2109605}.
PathwayAmino-acid degradation; L-tryptophan degradation via kynurenine pathway; L-kynurenine from L-tryptophan: step 1/2.
SimilarityBelongs to the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase family. {ECO:0000305}.
