| Other name(s): |
tetX (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
tetracycline,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (11a-hydroxylating) |
| Comments: |
A flavoprotein (FAD). This bacterial enzyme confers resistance to all clinically relevant tetracyclines when expressed under aerobic conditions. The hydroxylated products are very unstable and lead to intramolecular cyclization and non-enzymic breakdown to undefined products. |
