| Accepted name: |
glycine betaine monooxygenase |
| Reaction: |
glycine betaine + NADH + H+ + O2 = N,N-dimethylglycine + formaldehyde + NAD+ + H2O |
| Other name(s): |
glycine betaine dioxygenase (incorrect); bmoAB (gene names); gbcAB (gene names) |
| Systematic name: |
glycine betaine,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (demethylating) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Chromohalobacter salexigens, is involved in a degradation pathway of glycine betaine. It is composed of two subunits - a ferredoxin reductase component that contains FAD, and a terminal oxygenase component that contains a [2Fe-2S] Rieske-type iron-sulfur cluster and a nonheme iron centre. |
