| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme consists of linked oxygenase and reductase domains.
- The eukaryotic enzyme binds FAD, FMN, heme (iron protoporphyrin IX)
and tetrahydrobiopterin, and its two domains are linked via a
regulatory calmodulin-binding domain.
- Upon calcium-induced calmodulin binding, the reductase and oxygenase
domains form a complex, allowing electrons to flow from NADPH via FAD
and FMN to the active center.
- The reductase domain of the enzyme from the bacterium Sorangium
cellulosum utilizes a [2Fe-2S] cluster to transfer the electrons from
NADPH to the active center.
- Cf. EC 1.14.14.47.
