== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IPNA_EMENI IPNA_EMENI] Isopenicillin N synthase; part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of penicillin, the world's most important antibiotic (PubMed:3319778, PubMed:11755401). IpnA catalyzes the cyclization of the tripeptide N-[(5S)-5-amino-5-carboxypentanoyl]-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (LLD-ACV or ACV) to form isopenicillin N (IPN) that contains the beta-lactam nucleus (PubMed:3319778, PubMed:11755401, PubMed:28703303). The penicillin biosynthesis occurs via 3 enzymatic steps, the first corresponding to the production of the tripeptide N-[(5S)-5-amino-5-carboxypentanoyl]-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (LLD-ACV or ACV) by the NRPS acvA. The tripeptide ACV is then cyclized to isopenicillin N (IPN) by the isopenicillin N synthase ipnA that forms the beta-lactam nucleus. Finally, the alpha-aminoadipyl side chain is exchanged for phenylacetic acid by the isopenicillin N acyltransferase penDE to yield penicillin in the peroxisomal matrix (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P08703]<ref>PMID:11755401</ref> <ref>PMID:28703303</ref> <ref>PMID:3319778</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a nonheme iron oxidase that catalyzes the central step in the biosynthesis of beta-lactam antibiotics: oxidative cyclization of the linear tripeptide delta- l-alpha-aminoadipoyl- l-cysteinyl- d-valine (ACV) to isopenicillin N (IPN). The ACV analogue delta- l-alpha-aminoadipoyl- l-cysteine (1-( S)-carboxy-2-thiomethyl)ethyl ester (AC OmC) has been synthesized as a mechanistic probe of IPNS catalysis and crystallized with the enzyme. The crystal structure of the anaerobic IPNS/Fe(II)/AC OmC complex was determined to 1.80 A resolution, revealing a highly congested active site region. By exposing these anaerobically grown crystals to high-pressure oxygen gas, an unexpected sulfenate product has been observed, complexed to iron within the IPNS active site. A mechanism is proposed for formation of the sulfenate-iron complex, and it appears that AC OmC follows a different reaction pathway at the earliest stages of its reaction with IPNS. Thus it seems that oxygen (the cosubstrate) binds in a different site to that observed in previous studies with IPNS, displacing a water ligand from iron in the process. The iron-mediated conversion of metal-bound thiolate to sulfenate has not previously been observed in crystallographic studies with IPNS. This mode of reactivity is of particular interest when considered in the context of another family of nonheme iron enzymes, the nitrile hydratases, in which post-translational oxidation of two cysteine thiolates to sulfenic and sulfinic acids is essential for enzyme activity.
