characterization experiments revealed the formations of 3-(-2'-aminocyclopropyl)alanine ((3-Acp)Ala) and 3-(-2'-nitrocyclopropyl)alanine ((3-Ncp)Ala) are originated via two homologous proteins, BelK and HrmI, which regioselectively catalyze the Nε-oxygenation of l-lysine. The two enzymes belong to the emerging heme-oxygenase-like diiron oxidase and oxygenase (HDO) superfamily and the catalytic center of BelK is validated by homology modeling and site-directed mutations. Based on the characterization, the biosynthetic pathways of (3-Acp)Ala and (3-Ncp)Ala are proposed.

-hydroxylating monooxygenases (NMOs) are a subclass of flavin-dependent enzymes that hydroxylate nitrogen atoms. Recently, unique NMOs that perform multiple reactions on one substrate molecule have been identified. Fosfazinomycin M (FzmM) is one such NMO, forming nitrosuccinate from aspartate (Asp) in the fosfazinomycin biosynthetic pathway in some sp.
