Glossary: nocardicin A = (2R)-2-amino-4-{4-[(1E)-{[(3S)-1-[(R)-carboxy(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-2-oxoazetidin-3-yl]carbamoyl}(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy}butanoic acid
isonocardicin A =(2S)-2-amino-4-{4-[(1E)-{[(3S)-1-[(R)-carboxy(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-2-oxoazetidin-3-yl]carbamoyl}(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenoxy}butanoic acid
nocardicin C = (2R)-2-amino-4-{4-[(R)-amino({[(3S)-1-[(R)-carboxy(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-2-oxoazetidin-3-yl]carbamoyl})methyl]phenoxy}butanoic acid
isonocardicin C = (2S)-2-amino-4-{4-[(R)-amino({[(3S)-1-[(R)-carboxy(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-2-oxoazetidin-3-yl]carbamoyl})methyl]phenoxy}butanoic acid
Other name(s): isonocardicin A epimerase; nocJ (gene name)
Systematic name: nocardicin-C epimerase
Comments: Requires pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Nocardia uniformis, is involved in the biosynthesis of the monolactam antibiotic nocardicin A. It catalyses the epimerization of the amino group at position 9′ from (S)- configuration to (R)-. The enzyme can act on both isonocardicin A and isonocardicin C, but the in vivo substrate appears to be the latter [3].
