Protein Domain : Methane/phenol monooxygenase, hydroxylase component IPR012078

Type  Family
Description  This group represents the hydroxylase component of aromatic and alkene monooxygenases such as methane monooxygenase ( ) phenol 2-monooxygenase ( ), toluene-4-monooxygenase ( ) from Pseudomonas mendocina, and alkene monooxygenase ( ) from Xanthobacter autotrophicus. Aromatic and alkene monooxygenase hydroxylases (AAMH) are composed of two copies each of three subunits (alpha 2 beta 2 gamma 2), and all three subunits are almost completely α-helical, with the exception of two beta hairpin structures in the alpha subunit. The active site of each alpha subunit contains one dinuclear iron centre, housed in a four-helix bundle [ ].Methane monooxygenase is a multicomponent enzyme found in methanotrophic bacteria that catalyzes the hydroxylation of methane and higher alkenes (as large as octane). Phenol monooxygenase, found in a diverse group of bacteria, catalyses the hydroxylation of phenol, chloro- and methyl-phenol and naphthol. Both enzyme systems consist of three components: the hydroxylase, a coupling protein and a reductase [ ]. The toluene-4-monooxygenase multicomponent enzyme system catalyzes the O2- and NADH-dependent hydroxylation of toluene to form p-cresol [ ]. The alkene monooxygenase system catalyzes the O2- and NADH-dependent epoxidation of short chain (C2 to C6) alkenes to their corresponding epoxides [ ].Please see the following relevant references: [ , , , ].
