DESCRIPTION

Also known as XAMOE_XANP2, xamoE, aamE. Component of the alkene monooxygenase multicomponent enzyme system which catalyzes the O2- and NADH-dependent epoxidation of short chain (C2 to C6) alkenes to their corresponding epoxides (PubMed:10103255, PubMed:1444418, PubMed:9312093). Also able to catalyze the oxidation of a number of chlorinated alkenes, including trichloroethylene, cis- and trans-1, 2-dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, 1-chloropropylene, 1, 3-dichloropropylene and 2, 3-dichloropropylene (PubMed:1444418). The alkene monooxygenase multicomponent enzyme system is composed of an electron transfer component and a monooxygenase component interacting with the effector protein XamoD. The electron transfer component is composed of a ferredoxin reductase (XamoF) and a ferredoxin (XamoC), and the monooxygenase component is formed by a heterohexamer (dimer of heterotrimers) of two alpha subunits (XamoA), two beta subunits (XamoE) and two gamma subunits (XamoB).
