Function
PHZG_BURL3 Involved in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic phenazine, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic molecule having important roles in virulence, competition and biological control (PubMed:23897464). Catalyzes several oxidations in the terminal steps of core phenazine biosynthesis. It oxidizes both hexahydrophenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid (HHPDC) and tetrahydrophenazine-1-carboxylic acid (THPCA) and thereby contributes to the generation of both phenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDC) and phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA). It synthesizes phenazines in their reduced form, which are the likely end products in vivo (PubMed:23897464).[1]
