IPR007072

Description

IPR007072 is a Rhamnosyl O-methyltransferase.

<p>This entry contains Rhamnosyl O-methyltransferase which catalyses the O-methylation of the hydroxyl group located on C-2 of the first rhamnosyl residue linked to the phenolic group of glycosylated phenolphthiocerol dimycocerosates (PGL) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (p-HBAD) [[cite:PUB00053670]]. Members of this family are about 220 amino acids long. It also includes the CmcI protein [swissprot:O85726], which was previously thought to represent the cephalosporin-7--hydroxylase [[cite:PUB00008735]], however, it is apparently a methyltransferase that works with hydroxylase CmcJ, and its most likely function is to catalyse the transfer of a methyl group from SAM to the 7alpha-hydroxy cephalosporin in the second catalytic reaction of cephamycin formation. Studies using recombinant proteins purified from E. coli suggest that the complex, but not the separate proteins, exhibits a strong interaction with SAM and cephalosporin C [[cite:PUB00039678]].</p>
