Abstract excerpt
The S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferase CcbJ from Streptomyces caelestis catalyzes one of the final steps in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic celesticetin, methylation of the N atom of its proline moiety, which greatly enhances the activity of the antibiotic. Since several celesticetin variants exist, this enzyme may be able to act on a variety of substrates. The structures of CcbJ...
