Product-substrate engineering by bacteria: Studies on clavaminate synthase, a trifunctional dioxygenase

Evidence is presented that clavaminate synthase (CS) catalyses three oxidative reactions in the clavulanic acid biosynthetic pathway. The first CS catalysed step (hydroxylation) is separated from the latter two (oxidative cyclisation and desaturation) by the action of a hydrolytic enzyme, proclavami...
