EC 1.5.3.10 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.5.3.10

Accepted name

dimethylglycine oxidase

Reaction

N,N-dimethylglycine + 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + O₂ = sarcosine + 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + H₂O₂

Other name(s)

dmg (gene name), N,N-dimethylglycine:oxygen oxidoreductase (demethylating)

Systematic name

N,N-dimethylglycine,5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate:oxygen oxidoreductase (demethylating,5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate-forming)

CAS registry number

37256-30-7

Comment

A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Arthrobacter globiformis, contains two active sites connected by a large "reaction chamber". An imine intermediate is transferred between the sites, eliminating the production of toxic formaldehyde. In the absence of folate the enzyme does form formaldehyde. Does not oxidize sarcosine. cf. EC 1.5.8.4, dimethylglycine dehydrogenase.
