The crystal structure of hexameric phenoxazinone synthase
Overview
The multicopper oxidase phenoxazinone synthase (PHS) catalyzes the, penultimate step in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic actinomycin D by, Streptomyces antibioticus. PHS exists in two oligomeric forms: a dimeric, form and a hexameric form, with older actinomycin-producing cultures, containing predominately the hexameric form. The structure of hexameric, PHS has been determined using X-ray diffraction to a resolution limit of, 2.30 A and is found to contain several unexpected and distinctive, features. The structure forms a hexameric ring that is centered on a, pseudo 6-fold axis and has an outer diameter of 185 A with a large central, cavity that has a diameter of 50 A. This hexameric structure is stabilized, by a long loop connecting two domains; bound to this long loop is a fifth, copper atom that is present as a type 2 copper. This copper atom is not, present in any other multicopper oxidase, and its presence appears to, stabilize the hexameric structure.
