enzyme NdmA catalyzes NADH-dependent N1-demethylation of caffeine to theobromine and theophylline to 3-methylxanthine, and subsequently to 7-methylxanthine, and xanthine. Theobromine is the major product due to highly selective N1-demethylation caffeine by NdmA. But the minor production of paraxanthine from caffeine is due to slight promiscuity of the NdmA towards the N3-position on the caffeine molecule. Direct N-demethylation of caffeine at the N3 position does not occur appreciably with the three N-demethylases involved in caffeine degradation in CBB5

Ndm exhibits broad-based activity towards caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, 7-methylxanthine and 3-methylxanthine, all of which are growth substrates for Pseudomonas putida CBB5. Production of xanthine from all of these methylxanthines is confirmed. Ndm is most active on 7-methylxanthine, followed by 1,7-dimethylxanthine (paraxanthine), theobromine, 3-methylxanthine, caffeine and theophylline. Ndm does not catalyse O-demethylation of vanillate or vanillin, even after prolonged incubation

physiological function
the enzyme NdmA catalyzes NADH-dependent N1-demethylation of caffeine to theobromine and theophylline to 3-methylxanthine, and subsequently to 7-methylxanthine, and xanthine. The oxidoreductase NdmD, UniProt ID H9N291, catalyzes the oxidation of NADH and transfers electrons to NdmA and NdmB, which catalyze the N-demethylation reaction
evolution
-
catabolism of caffeine in microorganisms commences via two possible mechanisms: demethylation and oxidation. Through the demethylation route, the major metabolite formed in fungi is theophylline, whereas theobromine is the major metabolite in bacteria
metabolism
physiological function
some bacteria, such as Pseudomonas putida strain CBB5, utilize caffeine as a sole carbon and nitrogen source by degrading it through sequential N-demethylation catalyzed by five enzymes: NdmA, NdmB, NdmC, NdmD, and NdmE. Enzyme NdmC specifically detaches methyl groups from the N-7 position of methylxanthine derivatives, NdmC is a monooxygenase

Through the demethylation route, the major metabolite formed in fungi is theophylline, whereas theobromine is the major metabolite in bacteria. Catabolism of caffeine in microorganisms, overview
metabolism
Rieske nonheme iron oxygenases (ROs) catalyze the initial oxygenation reaction of aromatic compounds by enantio- and regiospecific reactions. The type of RO in Pseudomonas putida strain CBB5, consists of NdmA, NdmB, and NdmC, which specifically detach methyl groups from the N-1, N-3, and N-7 positions of methylxanthine derivatives, respectively. A single formaldehyde is produced whenever one N-linked methyl group is detached, indicating that NdmA, NdmB, and NdmC are monooxygenases.The N-demethylation of caffeine to xanthine occurs via three steps; NdmA and NdmB catalyze the initial two steps of N-demethylation, and the intermediate product, 7-methylxanthine, is further catalyzed to xanthine by an unusual RO-reductase complex, the NdmCDE heterotrimer. Heterohexamerization of NdmA and NdmB under physiological conditions. NdmD is the RO reductase that forms a stable ternary complex with NdmC and NdmE (NdmCDE). Since NdmC detaches the N-7 methyl group from methylxanthine derivatives, the NdmCDE complex is responsible for the last N-demethylation step of caffeine to xanthine. But NdmD is also needed by both NdmA and NdmB for electron transport from NADH to the oxygen activation site. Therefore, it is expected that transient interaction would exist between them. Electron transfer pathway from the ferredoxin domain of NdmD to caffeine in the catalytic site of NdmA. Enzyme complex structure analysis structure-function analysis, overview

additional information
the enzyme occurs as a Rieske nonheme iron oxygenase (RO)-reductase complex, the NdmCDE heterotrimer. NdmCDE domain architecture analysis, NdmC contains the ligand-binding domain, and the remaining Rieske domain must be nonfunctional because the metal coordinating residues are not conserved. Instead, a potentially functional, unique Rieske domain is located at the N-terminus of NdmD. In addition to the N-terminal Rieske domain, NdmD is composed of a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-binding domain, an NADH-binding domain, and a C-terminal plant-type ferredoxin domain. NdmE has no discernable function, but exhibits high structural similarity to many glutathione-S-transferases. NdmE might facilitate complex formation by structural alignment

stabilization can be achieved by addition of either glycerol (20%), bovine serum albumin (10 mg/ml), dithiothreitol (1 mM) or the substrate 7-methylxanthine (1 mM). Storage under nitrogen atmosphere has a stabilizing influence. The addition of caffeine (1 mM), dimethylxanthines (1 mM) and protease inhibitors (pepstatin A, PMSF, 0.1 mM) is without influence on stability

medicine
-
methylxanthine intermediates of caffeine catabolism obtained by the action of N-demethylases have many applications. In medicine, theobromine and theophylline are used as diuretics, vasodilators, and myocardial stimulants. Monomethylxanthines can be converted to effective caffeine derivatives by chemical derivatization and hence can serve as interesting alternatives to caffeine. Xanthine also finds pharmaceutical application in drugs for treatment of asthma. The biotechnological potential of N-demethylases therefore lies not only in general decaffeination purposes but also in specific product recovery from caffeine

methylxanthine intermediates of caffeine catabolism obtained by the action of N-demethylases have many applications. In medicine, theobromine and theophylline are used as diuretics, vasodilators, and myocardial stimulants. Monomethylxanthines can be converted to effective caffeine derivatives by chemical derivatization and hence can serve as interesting alternatives to caffeine. Xanthine also finds pharmaceutical application in drugs for treatment of asthma. The biotechnological potential of N-demethylases therefore lies not only in general decaffeination purposes but also in specific product recovery from caffeine
