2,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl-CoA [CPD:C22070];
succinate [CPD:C00042];
CO2 [CPD:C00011]
Comment
Requires iron(II) and ascorbate. The product spontaneously undergoes trans-cis isomerization followed by lactonization and cyclization, liberating CoA and forming umbelliferone. The enzymes from the plants Ruta graveolens and Ipomoea batatas also act on trans-feruloyl-CoA (cf. EC 1.14.11.61, feruloyl-CoA 6-hydroxylase).

Title
A 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase from Ruta graveolens L. exhibits p-coumaroyl CoA 2'-hydroxylase activity (C2'H): a missing step in the synthesis of umbelliferone in plants.
Molecular cloning and functional analysis of the ortho-hydroxylases of p-coumaroyl coenzyme A/feruloyl coenzyme A involved in formation of umbelliferone and scopoletin in sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.
