  (S)-2-Hydroxypropylphosphonic acid epoxidase (HppE) 
(S)-2-Hydroxypropylphosphonic acid epoxidase (HppE) is an O2-dependent, nonheme Fe(II)-containing oxidase that converts (S)-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid ((S)-HPP) to the regio- and enantiomerically specific epoxide, fosfomycin. Fosfomycin ((1R,2S)-epoxypropylphosphonic acid, 1) is an antibiotic used to treat lower urinary tract infections. The biological target of fosfomycin has been identified as UDP-α-d-GlcNAc-O-enolpyruvoyl1 transferase, which catalyzes the attachment of phosphoenolpyruvate to UDP-α-d-GlcNAc, a key step in the assembly of the peptidoglycan layer within the bacterial cell wall. HppE involves in the reaction where(S)-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid (S-HPP) is converted into the epoxide fosfomycin via an oxidative cyclization reaction with retention of the substrate hydroxyl oxygen atom.
