Mammalian prolyl 4-hydroxylase alpha
catalyses the posttranslational formation of
4- hydroxyproline in -xaa-pro-gly-sequences in
collagens and other proteins.
Prokaryotic
enzymes might
catalyse hydroxylation of antibiotic peptides. These are
2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases,
requiring 2-oxoglutarate and dioxygen as cosubstrates and ferrous iron as a
cofactor [1].
