EC 1.5.7.3     
Accepted name: N,N-dimethylglycine/sarcosine dehydrogenase (ferredoxin)
Reaction: (1) N,N-dimethylglycine + 2 oxidized ferredoxin + H2O = sarcosine + formaldehyde + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+
(2) sarcosine + 2 oxidized ferredoxin + H2O = glycine + formaldehyde + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+
Other name(s): ddhC (gene name); dgcA (gene name)
Systematic name: N,N-dimethylglycine/sarcosine:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (demethylating)
Comments: This bacterial enzyme is involved in degradation of glycine betaine. The enzyme contains non-covalently bound FAD and NAD(P) cofactors, and catalyses the demethylation of both N,N-dimethylglycine and sarcosine, releasing formaldehyde and forming glycine as the final product. The enzyme can utilize both NAD+ and NADP+, but the catalytic efficiency with NAD+ is ~5-fold higher. The native electron acceptor of the enzyme is a membrane-bound clostridial-type ferredoxin, which transfers the electrons to an electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF).
