We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description

The antibiotic biosynthesis monooxygenase (ABM) domain is found in proteins involved in a diverse range of biological processes, including metabolism, transcription, translation and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites:

  • Streptomyces coelicolor ActVA-Orf6 monooxygenase, plays a role in the biosynthesis of aromatic polyketides, specifically the antibiotic actinorhodin, by oxidizing phenolic groups to quinones [1].
  • Escherichia coli probable quinol monooxygenase YgiN, can oxidize menadiol to menadione [2].
  • Staphylococcus aureus heme-degrading enzymes IsdG and IsdI [3,4].
  • Staphylococci signal transduction protein TRAP (target of RNAIII- activating protein) [5].
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis heme-degrading monooxygenase MhuD (or Rv3592) [6].
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis putative monooxygenase Rv0793, might be involved in antibiotic biosynthesis, or may act as reactive oxygen species scavenger that could help in evading host defenses [7].
  • Thermus thermophilus hypothetical protein TT1380 [8].

The ABM domain has only moderate sequence homology while sharing a high degree of structural similarity. The ABM domain crystallizes as a homodimer. Each monomer is composed of three α-helices (H1-3) and four β-strands (S1-4) and has a ferredoxin-like split βαβ-fold with an antiparallel β-sheet (see <1IUJ>). The β-sheets of two monomers form a 10-strand, anti-parallel β-barrel. The barrel is built of two smaller sheets that are connected by long C-terminal strands crossing over from one monomer to the other providing important interactions within the dimer. The core of the barrel is mainly hydrophobic [1,2,3,5,7,8].

The profile we developed covers the entire ABM domain.
