EC 1.14.14.35     
Accepted name: dimethylsulfone monooxygenase
Reaction: dimethyl sulfone + FMNH2 + O2 = methanesulfinate + formaldehyde + FMN + H2O
Other name(s): sfnG (gene name)
Systematic name: dimethyl sulfone,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from Pseudomonas spp., is involved in a dimethyl sulfide degradation pathway. It is dependent on NAD(P)H-dependent FMN reductase (EC 1.5.1.38, EC 1.5.1.39, or EC 1.5.1.42), which provides it with reduced FMN. The product, methanesulfinate, is oxidized spontaneously to methanesulfonate in the presence of dioxygen and FMNH2.
