Epi-isozizaene 5-monooxygenase

Class of enzymes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Epi-isozizaene 5-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.15.39, CYP170A1) is an enzyme with systematic name (+)-epi-isozizaene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxylating).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following overall chemical reaction:

The enzyme from Streptomyces coelicolor is an oxidoreductase which uses molecular oxygen to insert a hydroxy group into (+)-epi-isozizaene and then further oxidises that intermediate to the ketone product. It requires ferredoxin to transfer electrons to the cytochrome P450 active site.[2]
