Abstract excerpt
The polyene macrolide antibiotic filipin is widely used as a probe for cholesterol in biological membranes. The filipin biosynthetic pathway of Streptomyces avermitilis contains two position-specific hydroxylases, C26-specific CYP105P1 and C1'-specific CYP105D6. In this study, we describe the three X-ray crystal structures of CYP105P1: the ligand-free wild-type (WT-free), 4-phenylimidazole-bound wild-type...
