Monomeric sarcosine oxidase (MSOX) andN-methyltryptophan oxidase (MTOX) are homologous enzymes that catalyze the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine (N-methylglycine) andN-methyl-l-tryptophan, respectively. MSOX is induced in various bacteria upon growth on sarcosine. MTOX is anE. colienzyme of unknown metabolic function. Both enzymes contain covalently bound flavin. The covalent flavin is at the FAD level as judged by electrospray mass spectrometry. The data provide the first evidence that MTOX is a flavoprotein. The following observations indicate that 8α-(S-cysteinyl)FAD is the covalent flavin in MSOX fromBacillus sp. B-0618and MTOX. FMN-containing peptides, prepared by digestion of MSOX or MTOX with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and phosphodiesterase, exhibited absorption and fluorescence properties characteristic of an 8α-(S-cysteinyl)flavin and could be bound to apo-flavodoxin. The thioether link in the FMN-containing peptides was converted to the sulfone by performic acid oxidation, as judged by characteristic absorbance changes and an increase in flavin fluorescence. The sulfone underwent a predicted reductive cleavage reaction upon treatment with dithionite, releasing unmodified FMN. Cys315 was identified as the covalent FAD attachment site in MSOX fromB. sp. B-0618, as judged by the sequence obtained for a flavin-containing tryptic peptide (GAVCMYT). Cys315 aligns with a conserved cysteine in MSOX from other bacteria, MTOX (Cys308) and pipecolate oxidase, a homologous mammalian enzyme known to contain covalently bound flavin. There is only one conserved cysteine found among these enzymes, suggesting that Cys308 is the covalent flavin attachment site in MTOX.
