IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.14.14.10

Accepted name: nitrilotriacetate monooxygenase

Reaction: nitrilotriacetate + FMNH2 + H+ + O2 = iminodiacetate + glyoxylate + FMN + H2O

Systematic name: nitrilotriacetate,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (glyoxylate-forming)

Comments: Requires Mg2+. The enzyme from Aminobacter aminovorans (previously Chelatobacter heintzii) is part of a two component system that also includes EC 1.5.1.42 (FMN reductase), which provides reduced flavin mononucleotide for this enzyme.
