ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.3.4

Accepted Name
(carboxyethyl)arginine beta-lactam-synthase
Alternative Name(s)
beta-lactam synthetase
Reaction catalysed
ATP + N(2)-(2-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine <=> AMP + deoxyamidinoproclavaminate + diphosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Forms part of the pathway for the biosythesis of the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanate in Streptomyces clavuligerus.
  • It has been proposed that L-N(2)-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine is first converted into an acyl-AMP by reaction with ATP and loss of diphosphate, and that the beta-lactam ring is then formed by the intramolecular attack of the beta-nitrogen on the activated carboxy group.
