Entry
EC 1.14.99.21               Enzyme                                 

Name Latia-luciferin monooxygenase (demethylating);
luciferase (Latia luciferin);
Latia luciferin monooxygenase (demethylating)
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or
reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived
from O2;
Miscellaneous
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname Latia-luciferin,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (demethylating)
Reaction(IUBMB) Latia luciferin + AH2 + 2 O2 = oxidized Latia luciferin + CO2 +
formate + A + H2O + hnu [RN:R03907]
Reaction(KEGG) R03907
Show
Substrate Latia luciferin [CPD:C02293];
AH2 [CPD:C00030];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product oxidized Latia luciferin [CPD:C03527];
CO2 [CPD:C00011];
formate [CPD:C00058];
A [CPD:C00028];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
hn [CPD:C00205]
Cofactor FAD [CPD:C00016];
Flavoprotein [CPD:C06411]
Comment A flavoprotein. Latia is a bioluminescent mollusc. The reaction
possibly involves two enzymes, an oxygenase followed by a
monooxygenase for the actual light-emitting step.
