cefF, Cephalosporin biosynthesis expandase/hydroxylase, DACS, DAOC hydroxylase, DAOC synthase, DAOC/DAC synthase, DAOCS, deacetoxycephalosporin C hydroxylase, deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase, deacetylcephalosporin C synthase
EC Number
1.14.11.26
CAS Registry Number
Comments
Requires iron(II). The enzyme can also use 3-exomethylenecephalosporin C as a substrate to form deacetoxycephalosporin C, although more slowly [2]. In Acremonium chrysogenum, the enzyme forms part of a bifunctional protein along with EC 1.14.20.1, deactoxycephalosporin-C synthase. It is a separate enzyme in Streptomyces clavuligerus.
Cofactor
Fe2+
History
Reactions
Deacetoxycephalosporin C + 2-oxoglutarate + O(2) = deacetylcephalosporin C + succinate + CO(2).
