Sysname |
2-oxoglutarate:neomycin C aminotransferase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
neomycin C + 2-oxoglutarate = 6'''-deamino-6'''-oxoneomycin C + L-glutamate [RN: R08903]

Substrate |
|
Product |
6'''-deamino-6'''-oxoneomycin C [CPD: C17589];
L-glutamate [CPD: C00025]
|
Comment |
The reaction occurs in vivo in the opposite direction. Involved in the biosynthetic pathway of aminoglycoside antibiotics of the neomycin family. Works in combination with EC 1.1.3.44, 6'''-hydroxyneomycin C oxidase, to replace the 6'''-hydroxy group of 6'''-deamino-6'''-hydroxyneomycin C with an amino group.
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces fradiae, can also catalyse EC 2.6.1.93, neamine transaminase.
