- Isopenicillin-N N-acyltransferase
In
enzymology , an isopenicillin-N N-acyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.164) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :phenylacetyl-CoA + isopenicillin N + H2O CoA + penicillin G + L-2-aminohexanedioate
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are
phenylacetyl-CoA ,isopenicillin N , and H2O, whereas its 3 products are CoA,penicillin G , andL-2-aminohexanedioate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically thoseacyltransferase s transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA:isopenicillin N N-acyltransferase. Other names in common use include acyl-coenzyme A:isopenicillin N acyltransferase, and isopenicillin N:acyl-CoA: acyltransferase. This enzyme participates inpenicillin and cephalosporin biosynthesis .References
