We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description
Some oxygen-dependent oxidoreductases are flavoproteins that contains a covalently bound FAD group which is attached to a histidine via an 8-α-(N3-histidyl)-riboflavin linkage. These proteins are:
- (R)-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.6) (6-HDNO) [1], a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the oxygen-dependent degradation of 6-hydroxynicotine into 6-hydroxypyrid-N-methylosmine.
- Plant reticuline oxidase (EC 1.21.3.3) [2] (berberine-bridge-forming enzyme), an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of (S)-reticuline into (S)- scoulerine in the pathway leading to benzophenanthridine alkaloids.
- L-gulonolactone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.8) (l-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase) [3], a mammalian enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of L-gulono-1,4-lactone to L-xylo-hexulonolactone which spontaneously isomerizes to L-ascorbate.
- D-arabinono-1,4-lactone oxidase (EC 1.1.3.24) (L-galactonolactone oxidase), a yeast enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of D-erythroascorbic acid [4].
- Mitomycin radical oxidase [5], a bacterial protein involved in mitomycin resistance and that probably oxidizes the reduced form of mitomycins.
- Cytokinin oxidase (EC 1.4.3.18), a plant enzyme.
- Rhodococcus fascians fasciation locus protein fas5.
The region around the histidine that binds the FAD group is conserved in these enzymes and can be used as a signature pattern.
