genes. The Pur enzymes catalyze pyrimidine assembly of purine nucleobases. To test whether enzymes encoded by the second set of pur genes catalyze analogous transformations in formycin biosynthesis, formycin B 5′-phosphate was synthesized and shown to be converted by ForA and ForB to formycin A 5′-phosphate. These results support that For enzymes are responsible for formycin formation.
