Structural highlights
Function
RDMC_STREF Involved in the biosynthesis of the anthracycline aclacinomycin which is an aromatic polyketide antibiotic that exhibits high cytotoxicity and is widely applied in the chemotherapy of a variety of cancers. Catalyzes the removal of the methoxy group from the C-15 position of aclacinomycin T and A to yield 15-demethoxyaclacinomycin T and A, respectively.[1] [2]
