tetracycline:coenzyme F420 dehydrogenase

tetracycline + oxidized coenzyme F420 = 5a,11a-dehydrotetracycline + reduced coenzyme F420 [RN:R05459]

R05459;
(other) R09192
Reaction

tetracycline [CPD:C06570];
oxidized coenzyme F420 [CPD:C00876]

The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Streptomyces aureofaciens and Streptomyces rimosus, catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of the tetracycline antibiotics tetracycline and oxytetracycline.
