== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/NDMA_PSEPU NDMA_PSEPU] Involved in the caffeine degradation, which is the essential first step for assimilating the carbon and nitrogen in caffeine. Catalyzes the N1-demethylation of caffeine to produce theobromine and formaldehyde. Also catalyzes the N1-demethylation of theophylline, paraxanthine, and 1-methylxanthine to 3-methylxanthine, 7-methylxanthine, and xanthine, respectively. NADH is the preferred substrate.<ref>PMID:20966097</ref> <ref>PMID:22328667</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Caffeine, found in many foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals, is the most used chemical compound for mental alertness. It is originally a natural product of plants and exists widely in environmental soil. Some bacteria, such as Pseudomonas putida CBB5, utilize caffeine as a sole carbon and nitrogen source by degrading it through sequential N-demethylation catalyzed by five enzymes (NdmA, NdmB, NdmC, NdmD, and NdmE). The environmentally friendly enzymatic reaction products, methylxanthines, are high-value biochemicals that are used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, the structures and biochemical properties of bacterial N-demethylases remain largely unknown. Here, we report the structures of NdmA and NdmB, the initial N1- and N3-specific demethylases, respectively. Reverse-oriented substrate bindings were observed in the substrate-complexed structures, offering methyl position specificity for proper N-demethylation. For efficient sequential degradation of caffeine, these enzymes form a unique heterocomplex with 3:3 stoichiometry, which was confirmed by enzymatic assays, fluorescent labeling, and small-angle x-ray scattering. The binary structure of NdmA with the ferredoxin domain of NdmD, which is the first structural information for the plant-type ferredoxin domain in a complex state, was also determined to better understand electron transport during N-demethylation. These findings broaden our understanding of the caffeine degradation mechanism by bacterial enzymes and will enable their use for industrial applications.
