EC 1.14.14.35 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
1.14.14.35
Accepted name
dimethylsulfone monooxygenase
Reaction
dimethyl sulfone + FMNH2 + O2 = methanesulfinate + formaldehyde + FMN + H2O
Other name(s)
sfnG (gene name)
Systematic name
dimethyl sulfone,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from Pseudomonas spp., is involved in a dimethyl sulfide degradation pathway. It is dependent on NAD(P)H-dependent FMN reductase (EC 1.5.1.38, EC 1.5.1.39, or EC 1.5.1.42), which provides it with reduced FMN. The product, methanesulfinate, is oxidized spontaneously to methanesulfonate in the presence of dioxygen and FMNH2.
