Glossary: coelimycin P1 = N-[(3R)-8-[(2E)-but-2-enoyl]-2-oxo-6-[(2E)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-2-ylidene]-2,3,4,6-tetrahydro-1,5-oxathiocin-3-yl]acetamide
Other name(s): cpkG (gene name)
Systematic name: (2E,5S,6E,8E,10E)-1-aminododeca-2,6,8,10-tetraen-5-ol:pyruvate aminotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), participates in the biosynthesis of coelimycin P1, where it catalyses the amination of (2E,5S,6E,8E,10E)-5-hydroxydodeca-2,6,8,10-tetraenal. L-glutamate can also serve as the amino group donor with lower efficiency.
