From the Gene-inactivation studies point to the
involvement of OxyB in catalyzing the first oxidative phenol coupling
reaction during glycopeptide antibiotic biosynthesis. The
oxyB gene has been cloned and sequenced from the vancomycin
producer Amycolatopsis orientalis, and the hemoprotein has
been produced in Escherichia coli, crystallized, and its
structure determined to 1.7-Å resolution. OxyB gave UV-visible spectra
characteristic of a P450-like hemoprotein in the low spin ferric state.
After reduction to the ferrous state by dithionite or by spinach
ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase, the CO-ligated form gave a 450-nm
peak in a UV-difference spectrum. Addition of putative heptapeptide
substrates to resting OxyB produced type I changes to the UV spectrum,
but no turnover was observed in the presence of ferredoxin and
ferredoxin reductase, showing that either the peptides or the reduction
system, or both, are insufficient to support a full catalytic cycle.
OxyB exhibits the typical P450-fold, with helix L containing the
signature sequence FGHGXHXCLG and Cys347 being the proximal axial thiolate ligand of the heme
iron. The structural similarity of OxyB is highest to P450nor,
P450terp, CYP119, and P450eryF. In OxyB, the F and G helices are
rotated out of the active site compared with P450nor, resulting in a
much more open active site, consistent with the larger size of the presumed heptapeptide substrate.
