NAD(P)-binding protein
FAD-dependent oxidoreductase
This family consists of various amine oxidases, including maze polyamine oxidase (PAO) [1] and various flavin containing monoamine oxidases (MAO). The aligned region includes the flavin binding site of these enzymes. The family also contains phytoene dehydrogenases and related enzymes. In vertebrates MAO plays an important role regulating the intracellular levels of amines via there oxidation; these include various neurotransmitters, neurotoxins and trace amines [2]. In lower eukaryotes such as aspergillus and in bacteria the main role of amine oxidases is to provide a source of ammonium [3]. PAOs in plants, bacteria and protozoa oxidase spermidine and spermine to an aminobutyral, diaminopropane and hydrogen peroxide and are involved in the catabolism of polyamines [1]. Other members of this family include tryptophan 2-monooxygenase, putrescine oxidase, corticosteroid binding proteins and antibacterial glycoproteins. [1]. 9598979.

protoporphyrinogen oxidase
protoporphyrinogen oxidase is an FAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the 6-electron oxidation of protoporphyrinogen-IX to form protoporphyrin-IX, playing an important part in the heme/chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway
This enzyme oxidizes protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX, a precursor of heme and chlorophyll. Bacillus subtilis HemY also has coproporphyrinogen III to coproporphyrin III oxidase activity in a heterologous expression system, although the role for this activity in vivo is unclear. This protein is a flavoprotein and has a beta-alpha-beta dinucleotide binding motif near the amino end.
