Figure 6.
FIGURE 6. Functional activity of PikC mutants. High pressure liquid chromatography analyses of PikC-catalyzed reactions using YC-17 (A series) and narbomycin (B series) as substrate are shown. A1/B1, negative control in the absence of PikC. A2/B2, PikC wild type (PikC-wt). Mutants are used as indicated in the figure. Compound identities are as follows: 1, YC-17; 2, neomethymycin; 3, methymycin; 4, narbomycin; 5, pikromycin. Conversion of narbomycin at low efficiency is probably due to use of exogenous redox partners (e.g. spinach ferredoxin reductase) in P450 reconstitution assays.
