The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase Ema1 from Streptomyces tubercidicus R-922 and its homologs from closely related Streptomyces strains are able to catalyze the regioselective oxidation of avermectin into 4"-oxo-avermectin, a key intermediate in the manufacture of the agriculturally important insecticide emamectin benzoate (V.

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2007 Jul;73(13):4317-25. Epub 2007 May 4.

Discovery of the CYP107Z subfamily of cytochrome P450 oxidases (CYPs) led to an alternative biocatalytic synthesis of 4''-oxo-avermectin, a key intermediate for the commercial production of the semisynthetic insecticide emamectin.
