ABSTRACT The underlying molecular mechanisms of flavin-dependent amine oxidases remain relatively poorly understood, even though many of these enzymes have been reported. The nicotine oxidoreductase NicA2 is a crucial enzyme for the first step of nicotine degradation in Pseudomonas putida S16 (DSM 28022). Here, we present the crystal structure of a ternary complex comprising NicA2 residues 21 to 482, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), and nicotine at 2.25 Å resolution.
