Type: | Family | Name: | Monooxygenase component MmoB/DmpM |
Description: | This family consists of monooxygenase components such as MmoB methane monooxygenase () regulatory protein B. When MmoB is present at low concentration it converts methane monooxygenase from an oxidase to a hydroxylase and stabilises intermediates required for the activation of dioxygen []. Also found in this family is DmpM or Phenol hydroxylase () protein component P2, this protein lacks redox co-factors and is required for optimal turnover of Phenol hydroxylase []. Phenol hydroxylase catabolises phenol and some of its methylated derivatives in the first step of phenol biodegradation, and is required for growth on phenol. The multicomponent enzyme is made up of P0, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 polypeptides. | Short Name: | mOase_MmoB_DmpM |
