Protein
Probable nitronate monooxygenase
Organism
Staphylococcus aureus (strain USA300 / TCH1516)
Function
Nitronate monooxygenase that uses molecular oxygen to catalyze the oxidative denitrification of alkyl nitronates. Acts on propionate 3-nitronate (P3N), the presumed physiological substrate. Probably functions in the detoxification of P3N, a metabolic poison produced by plants and fungi as a defense mechanism.
Similarity
Belongs to the nitronate monooxygenase family. NMO class I subfamily.
