ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.93

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.6.1.93
Accepted Name
neamine transaminase
Alternative Name(s)
glutamate--6'-dehydroparomamine aminotransferase
Reaction catalysed
neamine + 2-oxoglutarate = 6'-oxoparomamine + L-glutamate
Comment(s)
  • The reaction occurs in vivo in the opposite direction.
  • Involved in the biosynthetic pathways of several clinically important aminocyclitol antibiotics, including kanamycin B, butirosin, neomycin and ribostamycin.
  • Works in combination with EC 1.1.3.43 to replace the 6'-hydroxy group of paromamine with an amino group.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Streptomyces kanamyceticus can also catalyze EC 2.6.1.94, which leads to production of kanamycin A.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Streptomyces fradiae can also catalyze EC 2.6.1.95, leading to production of neomycin C.
