The role of arginine residues in substrate binding and catalysis by deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase.

Deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase (DAOCS) catalyses the oxidative ring expansion of penicillin N, the committed step in the biosynthesis of cephamycin C by Streptomyces clavuligerus. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to investigate the seven Arg residues for activity (74, 75, 160, 162, 266, 306 and...
