UniProt functional annotation for Q9KIZ4

UniProt code: Q9KIZ4.

Organism: Sorangium cellulosum (Polyangium cellulosum).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Deltaproteobacteria; Myxococcales; Sorangiineae; Polyangiaceae; Sorangium.
 
Function: Involved in the biosynthesis of epothilones, macrolactones which have a narrow anti-fungal spectrum and microtubule-stabilizing activity. Catalyzes the epoxidation of epothilones C and D to epothilones A and B, respectively. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10831849}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=epothilone C + 2 H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = epothilone A + H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:47804, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10000, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10001, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:31549, ChEBI:CHEBI:33737, ChEBI:CHEBI:33738, ChEBI:CHEBI:80029; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10831849};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=epothilone D + 2 H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = epothilone B + H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:47808, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10000, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10001, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:29579, ChEBI:CHEBI:31550, ChEBI:CHEBI:33737, ChEBI:CHEBI:33738; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10831849};
Cofactor: Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12933799};
Pathway: Secondary metabolite biosynthesis; epothilone biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10831849}.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000255|RuleBase:RU000461, ECO:0000305}.
