EC 1.14.14.42

Accepted name: homomethionine N-monooxygenase

Reaction: an L-polyhomomethionine + 2 O2 + 2 [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = an ω-(methylsulfanyl)-(E)-alkanal oxime + CO2 + 3 H2O + 2 [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] (overall reaction)
(1a) an L-polyhomomethionine + O2 + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = an L-N-hydroxypolyhomomethionine + H2O + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]
(1b) an L-N-hydroxypolyhomomethionine + O2 + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = an L-N,N-dihydroxypolyhomomethionine + H2O + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]
(1c) an L-N,N-dihydroxypolyhomomethionine = ω-(methylsulfanyl)-(E)-alkanal oxime + CO2 + H2O

Other name(s): CYP79F1 (gene name); CYP79F2 (gene name)

Glossary: homomethionine = (2S)-2-amino-5-(methylsulfanyl)pentanoate
an L-polyhomomethionine = analogs of L-methionine that contain additional methylene groups in the side chain prior to the sulfur atom.

Systematic name: L-homomethionine,[NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase

Comments: This plant cytochrome P-450 (heme thiolate) enzyme is involved in methionine-derived aliphatic glucosinolates biosynthesis. It catalyses two successive N-hydroxylations, which are followed by dehydration and decarboxylation. CYP79F1 from Arabidopsis thaliana can metabolize homo-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexahomomethionine to their corresponding aldoximes, while CYP79F2 from the same plant can only metabolize penta- and hexahomomethionine.
