Crystals of the type I Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO) MtmOIV from the biosynthetic pathway of mithramycin were obtained; the crystals diffracted to 2.69 Å resolution and belong to the monoclinic space group C2 (a = 143.5, b = 114.2, c = 137.8 Å β = 102.5°). Light scattering indicates that MtmOIV is a dimer of 127 kDa in solution, while in the crystalline state the data are consistent with two dimers in the asymmetric unit. The Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase MtmOIV from Streptomyces argillaceus is a 56 kDa FAD-dependent and NADPH-dependent enzyme that is responsible for the key frame-modifying step in the biosynthesis of the natural product mithramycin. Crystals of MtmOIV were flash-cooled and diffracted to 2.69 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation on beamline SER-CAT 22-ID at the Advanced Photon Source. Crystals of MtmOIV are monoclinic and light-scattering data reveal that the enzyme forms dimers in solution. The rotation function suggests the presence of two dimers in the asymmetric unit. l-Selenomethionine-incorporated MtmOIV has been obtained. Structural solution combining molecular-replacement phases and anomalous phases from selenium is in progress.
