The enzyme cephalosporin-C deacetylase (EC 3.1.1.41) catalyzes the reaction
- cephalosporin C + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] deacetylcephalosporin C + acetate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is cephalosporin-C acetylhydrolase. Other names in common use include cephalosporin C acetyl-hydrolase, cephalosporin C acetylase, cephalosporin acetylesterase, cephalosporin C acetylesterase, cephalosporin C acetyl-esterase, and cephalosporin C deacetylase. This enzyme participates in penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthesis.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1L7A, 1ODS, 1ODT, and 1VLQ.
