(2E)-geranyl diphosphate + L-glutamate = N-geranyl-L-glutamate + diphosphate
N-geranyl-L-glutamate + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = N-(8'-hydroxygeranyl)-L-glutamate + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + H2O + H(+)
N-geranyl-L-glutamate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = dainate A + succinate + CO2 + H2O
