EC number
1.14.13.239
Accepted name
carnitine monooxygenase
Reaction
L-carnitine + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = (3R)-3-hydroxy-4-oxobutanoate + trimethylamine + NAD(P)+ + H2O
Other name(s)
cntAB (gene names), yeaWX (gene names)
Systematic name
L-carnitine,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (trimethylamine-forming)
Comment
The bacterial enzyme is a complex consisting of a reductase and an oxygenase components. The reductase subunit contains a flavin and a plant-type ferredoxin [2Fe-2S] cluster, while the oxygenase subunit is a Rieske-type protein in which a [2Fe-2S] cluster is coordinated by two histidine and two cysteine residues.
