Identifiers
Symbol YcaO
Pfam PF02624
InterPro IPR003776

YcaO is a protein found in bacteria which is involved in the synthesis of thiazole/oxazole modified microcin antibiotics, such as bottromycin. YcaO performs ATP dependent cylodehydration to form the oxazole and thiazole moieties of the microcin.[2][3][4]
