NADPH:FMN OXIDOREDUCTASE FROM VIBRIO HARVEYI

Overview

We report the structure of an NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase (flavin reductase, P) that is involved in bioluminescence by providing reduced FMN to, luciferase. The 1.8 A crystal structure of flavin reductase P from Vibrio, harveyi was solved by multiple isomorphous replacement and reveals that, the enzyme is a unique dimer of interlocking subunits, with 9352 A2 of, surface area buried in the dimer interface. Each subunit comprises two, domains. The first domain consists of a four-stranded antiparallel, beta-sheet flanked by helices on either side. The second domain reaches, out from one subunit and embraces the other subunit and is responsible for, interlocking the two subunits. Our structure explains why flavin reductase, P is specific for FMN as cofactor. FMN is recognized and tightly bound ... [(full description)]
