DESCRIPTION

Also known as SFMD_STRLA, sfmD. Heme-containing peroxygenase that mediates the hydroxylation of 3-methyl-L-tyrosine (3-Me-Tyr) into 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-L-tyrosine (3-OH-5-Me-Tyr) in biosynthesis of saframycin A, a potent antitumor antibiotic that belongs to the tetrahydroisoquinoline family. Involved in biosynthesis of 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-O-methyltyrosine (3-OH-5-Me-OMe-Tyr), a core structure of saframycin A.
