EC 1.14.13.232

Accepted name: 6-methylpretetramide 4-monooxygenase

Reaction: 6-methylpretetramide + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 4-hydroxy-6-methylpretetramide + NADP+ + H2O

Glossary: 6-methylpretetramide = 1,3,10,11,12-pentahydroxy-6-methyltetracene-2-carboxamide
4-hydroxy-6-methylpretetramide = 1,3,4,10,11,12-hexahydroxy-6-methyltetracene-2-carboxamide

Systematic name: 6-methylpretetramide,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (4-hydroxylating)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces rimosus, participates in the biosynthesis of tetracycline antibiotics. That bacterium possesses two enzymes that can catalyse the reaction - OxyE is the main isozyme, while OxyL has a lower activity. OxyL is bifunctional, and its main function is EC 1.14.13.233, 4-hydroxy-6-methylpretetramide 12a-monooxygenase. Contains FAD.
