ISOPENICILLIN N SYNTHASE FROM ASPERGILLUS NIDULANS (MONOCYCLIC SULFOXIDE-FE COMPLEX)
Overview
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS), a non-haem iron-dependent oxidase, catalyses the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N (IPN), the precursor of all, penicillins and cephalosporins. The key steps in this reaction are the two, iron-dioxygen-mediated ring closures of the tripeptide, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV). It has been, proposed that the four-membered beta-lactam ring forms initially, associated with a highly oxidized iron(iv)-oxo (ferryl) moiety, which, subsequently mediates closure of the five-membered thiazolidine ring. Here, we describe observation of the IPNS reaction in crystals by X-ray, crystallography. IPNS Fe2+ substrate crystals were grown anaerobically, exposed to high pressures of oxygen to promote reaction and frozen, and, their structures were ... [(full description)]
