Function[IPNS_EMENI] Removes, in the presence of oxygen, 4 hydrogen atoms from delta-L-(alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) to form the azetidinone and thiazolidine rings of isopenicillin. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedIsopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-haem iron oxidase that catalyses the formation of isopenicillin N from the tripeptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine. In this report, we describe the crystal structure of the enzyme with a non-natural L,L,L-tripeptide substrate, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-L-3,3,3,3',3',3'-hexafluorovaline . This structure reveals a strong binding interaction of the tripeptide within the active site and a unique conformation for the non-natural L,L,L-diastereomer. Taken together, these findings provide a possible rationale for the previously observed inhibitory effects of L,L,L-tripeptide substrates on IPNS activity.
