aldehyde monooxygenase;
luciferase;
Vibrio fischeri luciferase;
alkanal,reduced-FMN:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing);

alkanal monooxygenase (FMN);
aldehyde,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing)

Class

Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;

Sysname

long-chain-aldehyde,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing)

Reaction(IUBMB)

a long-chain aldehyde + FMNH2 + O2 = a long-chain fatty acid + FMN + H2O + hnu [RN:R10551]

Reaction(KEGG)

R10551

Substrate

long-chain aldehyde [CPD:C00609];
FMNH2 [CPD:C01847];
O2 [CPD:C00007]

Product

long-chain fatty acid [CPD:C00638];
FMN [CPD:C00061];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
hnu [CPD:C00205]

Comment

The reaction sequence starts with the incorporation of a molecule of oxygen into reduced FMN bound to the enzyme, forming luciferase peroxyflavin. The peroxyflavin interacts with an aliphatic long-chain aldehyde, producing a highly fluorescent species believed to be luciferase hydroxyflavin. The enzyme is highly specific for reduced FMN and for long-chain aliphatic aldehydes with eight carbons or more. The highest efficiency is achieved with tetradecanal. cf. EC 1.13.12.18, dinoflagellate luciferase.
