FunFam 422: FMN-dependent 2-nitropropane dioxygenase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Nitronate monooxygenase. [EC: 1.13.12.16]
Ethylnitronate + O(2) = acetaldehyde + nitrite + other products.
  • Previously classified as EC 1.13.11.32, but it is now recognized that this was the result of the slow ionization of nitroalkanes to their nitronate (anionic) forms.
  • The enzymes from the fungus Neurospora crassa and the yeast Williopsis saturnus var. mrakii (formerly classified as Hansenula mrakii) contain non-covalently bound FMN as the cofactor.
  • Neither hydrogen peroxide nor superoxide were detected during enzyme turnover.
  • Active toward linear alkyl nitronates of lengths between 2 and 6 carbon atoms and, with lower activity, toward propyl-2-nitronate.
  • The enzyme from N.crassa can also utilize neutral nitroalkanes, but with lower activity.
  • Formerly EC 1.13.11.32.
