Chimeric carminomycin-4-O-methyltransferase (DnrK) with a region from 10-decarboxylase TamK

Structural highlights
FunctionI2N5E8_STRT9 DNRK_STRPE Involved in the biosynthesis of the anthracyclines carminomycin and daunorubicin (daunomycin) which are aromatic polyketide antibiotics that exhibit high cytotoxicity and are widely applied in the chemotherapy of a variety of cancers. In vivo, catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the 4-O-position of carminomycin to form daunorubicin. In vitro, it also methylates the anthracyclines rhodomycin D (10-carbomethoxy-13-deoxycarminomycin) and 13-deoxy-carminomycin at the 4-hydroxyl position. It is quite specific with respect to the length of the carbohydrate chain at the C7 position, but it can accept substrates with bulky substituent at C10 position.[1] References
