Eight additional genes, jadX, O, P, Q, S, T, U and V, in the jad cluster of Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230, were located immediately downstream of jadN by chromosome walking. Sequence analyses and comparisons implicated them in biosynthesis of the 2,6-dideoxysugar in jadomycin B. The genes were cloned in Escherichia coli, inactivated by inserting an apramycin resistance cassette with a promoter driving transcription of downstream genes, and transferred into Streptomyces venezuelae by intergeneric conjugation. Analysis by HPLC and NMR of intermediates accumulated by cultures of the insertionally inactivated Streptomyces venezuelae mutants indicated that jadO, P, Q, S, T, U and V mediate formation of the dideoxysugar moiety of jadomycin B and its attachment to the aglycone. Based on these results and sequence similarities to genes described in other species producing deoxysugar derivatives, a biosynthetic pathway is proposed in which the jadQ product (glucose-1-phosphate nucleotidyltransferase) activates glucose to its nucleotide diphosphate (NDP) derivative, and the jadT product (a 4,6-dehydratase) converts this to NDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose. An NDP-hexose 2,3-dehydratase and an oxidoreductase, encoded by jadO and jadP, respectively, catalyse ensuing reactions that produce an NDP-2,6-dideoxy-D-threo-4-hexulose. The product of jadU (NDP-4-keto-2,6-dideoxy-5-epimerase) converts this intermediate to its L-erythro form and the jadV product (NDP-4-keto-2,6-dideoxyhexose 4-ketoreductase) reduces the keto group of the NDP-4-hexulose to give an activated form of the L-digitoxose moiety in jadomycin B. Finally, a glycosyltransferase encoded by jadS transfers the activated sugar to jadomycin aglycone. The function of jadX is unclear; the gene is not essential for jadomycin B biosynthesis, but its presence ensures complete conversion of the aglycone to the glycoside. The deduced amino acid sequence of a 612 bp ORF (jadR*) downstream of the dideoxysugar biosynthesis genes resembles many TetR-family transcriptional regulator sequences.
通过染色体走查,我们找到了紧靠 jadN 下游的另外八个基因,即委内瑞拉链霉菌 ISP5230 的 jad 簇中的 jadX、O、P、Q、S、T、U 和 V。这些基因被克隆到大肠杆菌中,并通过插入带有驱动下游基因转录的启动子的阿普霉素抗性盒而失活,然后通过属间连接转入委内瑞拉链霉菌。通过高效液相色谱和核磁共振对插入失活的委内瑞拉链霉菌突变体培养物积累的中间产物进行分析表明,jadO、P、Q、S、T、U 和 V 介导了贾多霉素 B 的双脱氧糖分子的形成及其与苷元的连接。根据这些结果以及与其他物种中产生脱氧糖衍生物的基因序列相似性,提出了一种生物合成途径,其中 jadQ 产物(1-磷酸葡萄糖核苷酸转移酶)将葡萄糖活化为其核苷酸二磷酸(NDP)衍生物,jadT 产物(4,6-脱氢酶)将其转化为 NDP-4-酮-6-脱氧-D-葡萄糖。分别由 jadO 和 jadP 编码的 NDP-2,3-己糖脱氢酶和氧化还原酶催化随后的反应,生成 NDP-2,6-二脱氧-D-苏-4-己糖。jadU 的产物(NDP-4-keto-2,6-dideoxy-5-epimerase)将这一中间产物转化为 L-赤式,而 jadV 的产物(NDP-4-keto-2,6-dideoxy-6-hexose-4-ketoreductase)则还原 NDP-4-hexulose 的酮基,从而在 jadomycin B 中生成活化形式的 L-二甲氧基糖分子。最后,由 jadS 编码的糖基转移酶将活化的糖转移到金刚霉素苷元中。jadX 的功能尚不清楚;该基因对金刚霉素 B 的生物合成并不重要,但它的存在可确保苷元完全转化为苷。双脱氧糖生物合成基因下游 612 bp ORF(jadR*)的氨基酸序列推导结果与许多 TetR 家族转录调节器序列相似。
