CYTOCHROME P450 (DONOR:O2 OXIDOREDUCTASE)
Overview
Cytochrome P450eryF catalyzes the 6S-hydroxylation of 6-deoxyerythronolide, B, the initial reaction in a multistep pathway to convert, 6-deoxyerythronolide B into the antibiotic, erythromycin. The overall, structure of P450eryF is similar to that of P450cam but differs in the, exact positioning of several alpha-helices. The largest difference occurs, in the B' helix and results in the enlargement of the substrate-binding, pocket of P450eryF. The substrate is positioned with the macrolide ring, perpendicular to the haem plane and contacts seven hydrophobic residues, and three solvent molecules. The substrate participates in a network of, hydrogen bonds that may provide a proton shuttle pathway in the oxygen, cleavage reaction.
