Insights into a dual function amide oxidase/macrocyclase from lankacidin biosynthesis
The monoamine oxidase family member LkcE is an enzyme from the lankacidin polyketide biosynthetic pathway, where it catalyzes an amide oxidation followed by an intramolecular Mannich reaction, yielding the polyketide macrocycle. Here the authors characterize LkcE and present several of its crystal s...

Summary: | The monoamine oxidase family member LkcE is an enzyme from the lankacidin polyketide biosynthetic pathway, where it catalyzes an amide oxidation followed by an intramolecular Mannich reaction, yielding the polyketide macrocycle. Here the authors characterize LkcE and present several of its crystal structures, which explains the unusual dual activity of LkcE. |
