Comment(s)
  • Methanesulfonate is the simplest of the sulfonates and is a substrate for the growth of certain methylotrophic microorganisms.
  • Compared with EC 1.14.14.5, this enzyme has a restricted substrate range that includes only the short-chain aliphatic sulfonates (methanesulfonate to butanesulfonate) and excludes all larger molecules, such as arylsulfonates.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Methylosulfonomonas methylovora is a multicomponent system comprising an hydroxylase, a reductase (MsmD) and a ferredoxin (MsmC).
  • The hydroxylase has both large (MsmA) and small (MsmB) subunits, with each large subunit containing a Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] cluster.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.14.6.
