title: An extracellular quinoprotein oxidase that catalyzes conversion of enacyloxin IVa to enacyloxin IIa.
abstract: A new extracellular quinoprotein oxidase named enacyloxin oxidase (ENX oxidase), which is involved in biosynthesis of ENX IIa, a congener of ENX, was found in the culture supernatant of Frateuria sp. W-315 and purified as a homogeneous protein on SDS-PAGE. ENX oxidase was shown to have a molecular mass of 73 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 79 kDa by gel filtration. The enzyme was inhibited by various carbonyl reagents and the activity was stimulated by addition of PQQ. This is the first report on a quinoprotein oxidase that is secreted into the culture medium in the logarithmic growth phase, and acts for biosynthesis of the antibiotic.
