Reaction: streptothricin-F + H2O = streptothricin-F acid
Other name(s): sttH (gene name)
Systematic name: streptothricin-F hydrolase
Comments: The enzyme also catalyses the hydrolysis of streptothricin-D to streptothricin-D acid [1]. The enzyme is responsible for streptothricin resistance in Streptomyces albulus and Streptomyces noursei [1,2].
