EC 1.14.20.3 Details
EC number
1.14.20.3
Accepted name
(5R)-carbapenem-3-carboxylate synthase
Reaction
(3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = (5R)-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate + succinate + CO2 + H2O
Other name(s)
carC (gene name)
Systematic name
(3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (dehydrating)
Comment
Requires Fe2+. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the carbapenem β-lactam antibiotic (5R)-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate in the bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum. It catalyses a stereoinversion at C-5 and introduces a double bond between C-2 and C-3.
