EC 2.7.9.6 Details
EC number
2.7.9.6
Accepted name
rifampicin phosphotransferase
Reaction
ATP + rifampicin + H2O = AMP + 21-phosphorifampicin + phosphate
Other name(s)
rifampin phosphotransferase, RPH
Systematic name
ATP:rifampicin, water 21-O-phosphotransferase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from a diverse collection of Gram-positive bacteria, inactivates the antibiotic rifampicin by phosphorylating it at position 21. The enzyme comprises three domains: two substrate-binding domains (ATP-grasp and rifampicin-binding domains) and a smaller phosphate-carrying L-histidine swivel domain that transits between the spatially distinct substrate-binding sites during catalysis.
