Cloning and in vitro characterization of dTDP-6-deoxy-l-talose biosynthetic genes from Kitasatospora kifunensis featuring the dTDP-6-deoxy-l-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase that synthesizes dTDP-6-deoxy-l-talose

Kitasatospora kifunensis, the talosin producer, was used as a source for the dTDP-6-deoxy-L-talose (dTDP-6dTal) biosynthetic gene cluster, serving as a template for four recombinant proteins of RmlA(Kkf), RmlB(Kkf), RmlC(Kkf), and Tal, which complete the biosynthesis of dTDP-6dTal from dTTP, alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate, and NAD(P)H. The identity of dTDP-6dTal was validated using H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. K. kifunensis tal and tll, the known dTDP-6dTal synthase gene of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans origin, have low sequence similarity and are distantly related within the NDP-6-deoxy-4-ketohexose reductase family, providing an example of the genetic diversity within the dTDP-6dTal biosynthetic pathway.
