EC 1.14.14.5 Details
EC number
1.14.14.5
Accepted name
alkanesulfonate monooxygenase
Reaction
an alkanesulfonate + FMNH2 + O2 = an aldehyde + FMN + sulfite + H2O
Other name(s)
SsuD, sulfate starvation-induced protein 6, alkanesulfonate,reduced-FMN:oxygen oxidoreductase
Systematic name
alkanesulfonate,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
256383-67-2
Comment
The enzyme from Escherichia coli catalyses the desulfonation of a wide range of aliphatic sulfonates (unsubstituted C1- to C14-sulfonates as well as substituted C2-sulfonates). Does not desulfonate taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonate) or aromatic sulfonates. Does not use FMN as a bound cofactor. Instead, it uses reduced FMN (i.e., FMNH2) as a substrate. FMNH2 is provided by SsuE, the associated FMN reductase (EC 1.5.1.38).
