The Post-Polyketide Synthase Modification Steps in the Biosynthesis of the Antitumor Agent Ansamitocin byActinosynnemapretiosum
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY(2003)
摘要
The functions of six genes in the ansamitocin biosynthetic gene cluster of Actinosynnema pretiosum have been investigated by gene inactivation and chemical analysis of the mutants. They encode a halogenase (asm12), a carbamoyltransferase (asm21), a 20-O-methyltransferase (asm7), a 3-O-acyltransferase (asm19), an epoxidase (asm11), and an N-methyltransferase (asm10), respectively, and are responsible for the six post-PKS modification steps in ansamitocin formation. Several of the enzymes have relaxed substrate specificities, resulting in multiple parallel pathways in a metabolic grid, albeit with a preferred sequence of reactions as listed above.
