DEACETOXYCEPHALOSPORIN C SYNTHASE COMPLEXED WITH 2-OXOGLUTARATE AND AMPICILLIN
Overview
Deacetoxycephalosporin-C synthase (DAOCS) is a mononuclear ferrous enzyme, that transforms penicillins into cephalosporins by inserting a carbon atom, into the penicillin nucleus. In the first half-reaction, dioxygen and, 2-oxoglutarate produce a reactive iron-oxygen species, succinate and CO2., The oxidizing iron species subsequently reacts with penicillin to give, cephalosporin and water. Here we describe high-resolution structures for, ferrous DAOCS in complex with penicillins, the cephalosporin product, the, cosubstrate and the coproduct. Steady-state kinetic data, quantum-chemical, calculations and the new structures indicate a reaction sequence in which, a 'booby-trapped' oxidizing species is formed. This species is stabilized, by the negative charge of succinate on the iron. The ... [(full description)]
