Ndm exhibits broad-based activity towards caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, 7-methylxanthine and 3-methylxanthine, all of which are growth substrates for Pseudomonas putida CBB5. Production of xanthine from all of these methylxanthines is confirmed. Ndm is most active on 7-methylxanthine, followed by 1,7-dimethylxanthine (paraxanthine), theobromine, 3-methylxanthine, caffeine and theophylline. Ndm does not catalyse O-demethylation of vanillate or vanillin, even after prolonged incubation

enzyme NdmA catalyzes NADH-dependent N1-demethylation of caffeine to theobromine and theophylline to 3-methylxanthine, and subsequently to 7-methylxanthine, and xanthine. Theobromine is the major product due to highly selective N1-demethylation caffeine by NdmA. But the minor production of paraxanthine from caffeine is due to slight promiscuity of the NdmA towards the N3-position on the caffeine molecule. Direct N-demethylation of caffeine at the N3 position does not occur appreciably with the three N-demethylases involved in caffeine degradation in CBB5

preincubation of Ndm for 15 min with 1 mM Fe2+, followed by desalting, increases the iron content to 20.1 mol per mol hexameric N-demethylase component (Ndm) of the N-demethylase holoenzyme. After this treatment, Ndm specific activity increases about 6fold (when 50 mM Fe2+ is present in the enzyme reaction mixture). N-Demethylase component (Ndm) of the N-demethylase holoenzyme is deduced to be a Rieske [2Fe-2S]-domain containing non-haem iron oxygenase

physiological function
metabolism
-
catabolism of caffeine in microorganisms commences via two possible mechanisms: demethylation and oxidation. Through the demethylation route, the major metabolite formed in fungi is theophylline, whereas theobromine is the major metabolite in bacteria. Catabolism of caffeine in microorganisms, overview
evolution
-
catabolism of caffeine in microorganisms commences via two possible mechanisms: demethylation and oxidation. Through the demethylation route, the major metabolite formed in fungi is theophylline, whereas theobromine is the major metabolite in bacteria
physiological function
the enzyme NdmA catalyzes NADH-dependent N1-demethylation of caffeine to theobromine and theophylline to 3-methylxanthine, and subsequently to 7-methylxanthine, and xanthine. The oxidoreductase NdmD, UniProt ID H9N291, catalyzes the oxidation of NADH and transfers electrons to NdmA and NdmB, which catalyze the N-demethylation reaction

GENERAL STABILITY
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
stabilization can be achieved by addition of either glycerol (20%), bovine serum albumin (10 mg/ml), dithiothreitol (1 mM) or the substrate 7-methylxanthine (1 mM). Storage under nitrogen atmosphere has a stabilizing influence. The addition of caffeine (1 mM), dimethylxanthines (1 mM) and protease inhibitors (pepstatin A, PMSF, 0.1 mM) is without influence on stability

similar to caffeine demethylase, heteroxanthinedemethylase is also unstable and loss of activity occurs upon storage

COMMENTARY
LITERATURE
medicine
-
methylxanthine intermediates of caffeine catabolism obtained by the action of N-demethylases have many applications. In medicine, theobromine and theophylline are used as diuretics, vasodilators, and myocardial stimulants. Monomethylxanthines can be converted to effective caffeine derivatives by chemical derivatization and hence can serve as interesting alternatives to caffeine. Xanthine also finds pharmaceutical application in drugs for treatment of asthma. The biotechnological potential of N-demethylases therefore lies not only in general decaffeination purposes but also in specific product recovery from caffeine
