| Type: | Family | Name: | Luciferase-like, F420-dependent oxidoreductase, MSMEG4141, predicted |
| Description: | Bacterial luciferase is a flavin monooxygenase that catalyses the oxidation of long-chain aldehydes and releases energy in the form of visible light, and which uses flavin as a substrate rather than a cofactor []. Bacterial luciferase is an alpha/beta (LuxA/LuxB) heterodimer, where each individual subunit folds into a single TIM (beta/alpha)8-barrel domain. There are structural similarities between bacterial luciferase and nonfluorescent flavoproteins (LuxF, FP390), alkanesulphonate monooxygenase (SsuD), and coenzyme F420-dependent terahydromethanopterin reductase, which make up clearly related families with somewhat different folds [, , ].This entry represents a group of predicted F420-dependent oxidoreductases that are part of the wider luciferase-like family of proteins. Most proteins are in this entry are from actinobacteria, but there are also a small number from the alphaproteobacteria. | Short Name: | Lucif-like_OxRdatse_MSMEG_4141 |
