Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, an emerging family of flavin-dependent biocatalysts
Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMO) are flavoenzymes that catalyze a remarkably wide variety of oxidative reactions such as regioand enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidations and sulfoxidations. Several of these conversions are difficult to achieve using chemical approaches. Due to their selectivity and catalytic efficiency, BVMOs are highly valuable biocatalysts for synthesis of a broad ra...
متن کاملThe Origin and Evolution of Baeyer—Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs): An Ancestral Family of Flavin Monooxygenases
The Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs) are enzymes belonging to the "Class B" of flavin monooxygenases and are capable of performing exquisite selective oxidations. These enzymes have been studied from a biotechnological perspective, but their physiological substrates and functional roles are widely unknown. Here, we investigated the origin, taxonomic distribution and evolutionary history o...
متن کاملChopping and Changing: the Evolution of the Flavin-dependent Monooxygenases
Flavin-dependent monooxygenases play a variety of key physiological roles and are also very powerful biotechnological tools. These enzymes have been classified into eight different classes (A-H) based on their sequences and biochemical features. By combining structural and sequence analysis, and phylogenetic inference, we have explored the evolutionary history of classes A, B, E, F, and G and d...
متن کاملFlavin Containing Monooxygenases and Metabolism of Xenobiotics
Bu derlemede flavin-içeren monooksijenazların (FMO) farmakolojik ve toksikolojik önemi ile ilgili güncel bilgiler özetlenmiştir. FMO’lar nükleofilik hetereatom içeren ksenobiyotiklerin ve ilaçların oksidasyonuna katılan mikrozomal bir enzim ailesidir. FMO’ların ilaç metabolizmasındaki etkinlikleri ve hastalıklarla olan ilişkileri, daha fazla araştırılması gereken alanlardır. FMO’lar üzerine yap...
متن کاملOxaziridines as possible intermediates in flavin monooxygenases.
The enzymatic hydroxylation reactions of flavin monooxygenases are suggested to involve an oxaziridine as the active oxygenating agent. The chemistry of these monooxygenases and their nonenzymatic model systems are consistent with an oxaziridine intermediate. Several advantages of the oxaziridine model over the previously proposed "carbonyl oxide" and flavin peroxide models are discussed.
