Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.15 With reduced iron-sulfur protein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor > 1.14.15.33 pikromycin synthase
Pikromycin synthase is a Streptomyces venezuelae P-450 with relaxed regiospecificity on desosamine-containing macrolides: with narbomycin it hydroxylates at C12 (pikromycin), C14 (neopikromycin) or both (narvopikromycin); with 10-deoxymethymycin at C10 (methymycin), C12 (neomethymycin) or both (novamethymycin).
