12-dehydrotetracycline = (4S,4aS,6S,12aS)-4-(dimethylamino)-3,6,10,12a-tetrahydroxy-6-methyl-1,11,12-trioxo-1,4,4a,5,6,11,12,12a-octahydrotetracene-2-carboxamide

Other name(s): ATC oxygenase; anhydrotetracycline oxygenase; oxyS (gene name); anhydrotetracycline monooxygenase

Systematic name: anhydrotetracycline,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces rimosus, participates in the biosynthesis of tetracycline antibiotics. It can also catalyse EC 1.14.13.234, 12-dehydrotetracycline 5-monooxygenase.
