Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase Type III

Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase type III (CAT III) is an enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of acetyl from acetyl-CoA to hydroxyl groups of chloramphenicol. CAT III is a trimeric protein

Introduction

Reaction of CAT III


In the first step of the reaction, Histidine-156 abstracts a proton from the 3-hydroxyl of chloramphenicol, promoting a nucleophilic attack from the deprotonated oxygen onto the thioester bond of the acetyl-CoA. The intermediate produced, 3-acetylchloramphenicol, then rearranges non-enzymatically to 1-acetylchloramphenicol. Regeneration of the 3-hydroxyl allows another CAT III catalyzed nucleophilic attack to another acetyl-CoA and a 1,3-diacetylchloramphenicol product is formed.
