Accepted name: cholesterol 25-monooxygenase
Reaction: cholesterol + reduced acceptor + O2 = 25-hydroxycholesterol + acceptor + H2O

Glossary: cholesterol = cholest-5-en-3β-ol
Other name(s): cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: cholesterol,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (25-hydroxylating)
Comments: Unlike most other sterol hydroxylases, this enzyme is not a cytochrome P-450. Instead, it uses diiron cofactors to catalyse the hydroxylation of hydrophobic substrates [1]. The diiron cofactor can be either Fe-O-Fe or Fe-OH-Fe and is bound to the enzyme through interactions with clustered histidine or glutamate residues [4,5]. In cell cultures, this enzyme down-regulates cholesterol synthesis and the processing of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). cf. EC 1.17.99.10, cholesterol C-25 hydroxylase.

biliverdin-IX-δ = 3,7-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-2,8,13,18-tetramethyl-12,17-divinylbilin-1,19(21H,24H)-dione
Other name(s): pigA (gene name)
Systematic name: protoheme,donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (biliverdin-IX-β and δ-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, differs from EC 1.14.15.20, heme oxygenase (biliverdin-producing, ferredoxin), in that the heme substrate is rotated by approximately 110 degrees within the active site, resulting in cleavage at a different part of the ring. It forms a mixture of about 70% biliverdin-IX-δ and 30% biliverdin-IX-β.

Systematic name: [histone-H3]-N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysine-4:acceptor oxidoreductase (demethylating)
Comments: The enzyme specifically removes methyl groups from mono- and dimethylated lysine4 of histone 3. During the reaction the substrate is oxidized by the FAD cofactor of the enzyme to generate the corresponding imine, which is subsequently hydrolysed in the form of formaldehyde.The enzyme is similar to flavin amine oxidases, and differs from all other known histone lysine demethylases, which are iron(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. The physiological electron acceptor is not known with certainty. In vitro the enzyme can use oxygen, which is reduced to hydrogen peroxide, but generation of hydrogen peroxide in the chromatin environment is unlikely as it will result in oxidative damage of DNA.
