CMCI-D160 MG-SAM

Overview

Cephamycin C-producing microorganisms use two enzymes to convert, cephalosporins to their 7alpha-methoxy derivatives. Here we report the, X-ray structure of one of these enzymes, CmcI, from Streptomyces, clavuligerus. The polypeptide chain of the enzyme folds into a C-terminal, Rossmann domain and a smaller N-terminal domain, and the molecule packs as, a hexamer in the crystal. The Rossmann domain binds, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and the demethylated product, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, in a fashion similar to the common binding mode, of this cofactor in SAM-dependent methyltransferases. There is a, magnesium-binding site in the vicinity of the SAM site with a bound, magnesium ion ligated by residues Asp160, Glu186 and Asp187. The expected, cephalosporin binding site near the magnesium ... [(full description)]
