the contrathermodynamic epimerization of (3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate to (3S,5R)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate is coupled at least to the binding of 2-oxoglutarate and it is probably coupled to the reduction of molecular oxygen and proceeds by way of radical abstraction at C-5. The presumed Fe(IV)=O species formed in these processes is required to drive the subsequent desaturation process
Requires Fe2+. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the carbapenem beta-lactam antibiotic (5R)-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate in the bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum. It catalyses a stereoinversion at C-5 and introduces a double bond between C-2 and C-3.
activity in presence of ascorbate is 22% compared to the activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate, activity in absence of ascorbate is 86% compared to the activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate in presence of ascorbate
activity in presence of ascorbate is less than 2% compared to the activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam, activity in absence of ascorbate is 40% compared to the activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam in presence of ascorbate
activity in presence of ascorbate is 76% compared to the activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate, activity in absence of ascorbate is 7% compared to the activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate in presence of ascorbate
the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of (5R)-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid the simplest structurally among the naturally occurring carbapenem beta-lactam antibiotics

activity with the natural substrate (3S,5S)-carbapenam-3-carboxylate in absence of ascorbate is 2% compared to the activity in presence of ascorbate. Ascorbate does not stimulate turnover of the (3S,5R)- or (3R,5R)-stereoisomers
CarC crystallizes as a hexamer comprised of two trimers. Predominant form of CarC in solution is also hexameric with low levels of monomeric and trimeric forms also being observed

hanging-drop vapor diffusion method. Crystal structures of CarC complexed with Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate reveal it to be hexameric (space group C2221), consistent with solution studies. CarC monomers contain a double-stranded beta-helix core that supports ligands binding a single Fe(II) to which 2-oxoglutarate complexes in a bi-dentate manner. A structure is obtained with L-N-acetylproline acting as a substrate analogue. Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical modeling studies with stereoisomers of carbapenams and carbapenems are used to investigate substrate binding
