ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.3

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.14.3
Accepted Name
bacterial luciferase
Alternative Name(s)
aldehyde monooxygenase
alkanal monooxygenase (FMN-linked)
Reaction catalysed
a long-chain fatty aldehyde + FMNH2 + O2 = a long-chain fatty acid + hnu + FMN + H2O + 2 H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The reaction sequence starts with the incorporation of a molecule of oxygen into reduced FMN bound to the enzyme, forming luciferase peroxyflavin.
  • The peroxyflavin interacts with an aliphatic long-chain aldehyde, producing a highly fluorescent species believed to be luciferase hydroxyflavin.
  • The enzyme is highly specific for reduced FMN and for long-chain aliphatic aldehydes with eight carbons or more.
  • The highest efficiency is achieved with tetradecanal. cf. EC 1.13.12.18.
