In enzymology a deoxyhypusine monooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.29) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionprotein N6-(4-aminobutyl)-L-lysine + AH2 + O2 protein N6-[(R)-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl]-L-lysine + A + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are a protein-bound N6-(4-aminobutyl)-L-lysine an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 and its 3 products are protein-bound N6-[(R)-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyl]-L-lysine the reduction product A and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
