(3R)-3-[(carboxymethyl)amino]fatty acid oxygenase/decarboxylase

UniProtKB accession:  P9WG83

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of a unique class of isonitrile lipopeptides (INLPs) that seem to function as virulence factors in M.tuberculosis and to play a role in metal acquisition (PubMed:28634299). Catalyzes the conversion of (3R)-3-[(carboxymethyl)amino]fatty acids to (3R)-3-isocyanyl-fatty acids through an oxidative decarboxylation mechanism, thereby generating the isonitrile group of INLPs (By similarity).
