Natural amino donation: A PLP-dependent aminotransferase PctV, encoded in the pactamycin biosynthetic gene cluster, was found to catalyze the formation of 3-aminobenzoate from 3-dehydroshikimate with L-glutamate as the amino donor. The PctV reaction comprises a transamination and two dehydration reactions. This is the first report of a simple 3-ABA synthase in nature.
pactamycin 生物合成基因簇中编码的依赖 PLP 的转氨酶 PctV 被发现能够催化 3-去氢莽草酸与 L-谷氨酸作为氨基供体生成 3-氨基苯甲酸。PctV 反应包括转氨和两个脱水反应。这是自然界中第一个简单的 3-ABA 合酶的报道。
