Structure of Phenoxazinone synthase from Streptomyces antibioticus reveals a new type 2 copper center.
Structural highlights
FunctionPHSA_STRAT Could be involved in the spore pigmentation and melanin production. Catalyzes the oxidative coupling of 2-aminophenols to form the 2-aminophenoxazinone chromophore. 2-aminophenoxazinone synthesis proceeds via a sequence of three consecutive 2-electron aminophenol oxidations. First, the o-aminophenol is oxidized by two electrons to the quinone imine, which then conjugates to a second o-aminophenol molecule while still bound to the enzyme. This product is further oxidized by two electrons to give rise to the p-quinone imine. The last two steps of the reaction, another conjugation to generate the tricyclic structure and a final two-electron oxidation to yield the 2-aminophenoxazinone product, are thought to be non-enzymatic. It can also uuse 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (HAA), 4-methyl-3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (MHA), 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA), ferrocyanide and thiophenol as substrates.[1] [2] [3] [4] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe multicopper oxidase phenoxazinone synthase (PHS) catalyzes the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic actinomycin D by Streptomyces antibioticus. PHS exists in two oligomeric forms: a dimeric form and a hexameric form, with older actinomycin-producing cultures containing predominately the hexameric form. The structure of hexameric PHS has been determined using X-ray diffraction to a resolution limit of 2.30 A and is found to contain several unexpected and distinctive features. The structure forms a hexameric ring that is centered on a pseudo 6-fold axis and has an outer diameter of 185 A with a large central cavity that has a diameter of 50 A. This hexameric structure is stabilized by a long loop connecting two domains; bound to this long loop is a fifth copper atom that is present as a type 2 copper. This copper atom is not present in any other multicopper oxidase, and its presence appears to stabilize the hexameric structure.
