IUBMB Comments

A non-heme iron oxygenase. The enzyme from the bacterium Pseudomonas putida shares an NAD(P)H-FMN reductase subunit with EC 1.14.13.179, methylxanthine N3-demethylase, and has a 5-fold higher activity with NADH than with NADPH . Also demethylate 1-methylxantine with lower efficiency. Forms part of the degradation pathway of methylxanthines.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota

Synonyms
methylxanthine n1-demethylase, more
