Characterization of YqjM, an Old Yellow Enzyme Homolog from Bacillus subtilis Involved in the Oxidative Stress Response

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we demonstrate that a protein from Bacillus subtilis (YqjM) shares many characteristic biochemical properties with the homologous yeast Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE); the enzyme binds FMN tightly but noncovalently, preferentially uses NADPH as a source of reducing equivalents, and forms charge transfer complexes with phenolic compounds such as p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Like yeast OYE and other members of...
