EC 6.2.1.39 Details
EC number
6.2.1.39
Accepted name
[butirosin acyl-carrier protein]—L-glutamate ligase
Reaction
(1) ATP + L-glutamate + BtrI acyl-carrier protein = ADP + phosphate + L-glutamyl-[BtrI acyl-carrier protein];;(2) ATP + L-glutamate + 4-amino butanoyl-[BtrI acyl-carrier protein] = ADP + phosphate + 4-(γ-L-glutamylamino)butanoyl-[BtrI acyl-carrier protein]
Other name(s)
[BtrI acyl-carrier protein]—L-glutamate ligase, BtrJ
Systematic name
[BtrI acyl-carrier protein]:L-glutamate ligase (ADP-forming)
Comment
Catalyses two steps in the biosynthesis of the side chain of the aminoglycoside antibiotics of the butirosin family. The enzyme adds one molecule of L-glutamate to a dedicated acyl-carrier protein, and following decarboxylation of the product by EC 4.1.1.95, L-glutamyl-[BtrI acyl-carrier protein] decarboxylase, adds a second L-glutamate molecule. Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+, and activity is enhanced in the presence of Mn2+.
