| UniProt functional annotation for P48635 | |||
| UniProt code: P48635. |
| Organism: | Saccharopolyspora erythraea (strain ATCC 11635 / DSM 40517 / JCM 4748 / NBRC 13426 / NCIMB 8594 / NRRL 2338). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Pseudonocardiales; Pseudonocardiaceae; Saccharopolyspora. | |
| Function: | Responsible for the C-12 hydroxylation of the macrolactone ring of erythromycin. Thus, EryK catalyzes the hydroxylation of erythromycin D (ErD) at the C-12 position to produce erythromycin C (ErC). Erythromycin B (ErB) is not a substrate for this enzyme. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8416893}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=erythromycin D + H(+) + NADPH + O2 = erythromycin C + H2O + NADP(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:32631, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349, ChEBI:CHEBI:63677, ChEBI:CHEBI:64258; EC=1.14.13.154; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=heme b; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60344; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:19625248, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20845962, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045}; Note=Binds 1 heme b (iron(II)-protoporphyrin IX) group per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19625248, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20845962, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=8.0 uM for erythromycin D {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045}; Note=kcat is 108 min(-1).; | |
| Pathway: | Antibiotic biosynthesis; erythromycin biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045}. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19625248, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849045}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells lacking this gene no longer produce erythromycin A but accumulate the B and D forms of the antibiotic. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8416893}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
