Elucidation of the Herbicidin Tailoring Pathway Offers Insights into Its Structural Diversity
摘要:
The biosynthetic gene clusters for herbicidins (hbc) and aureonuclemycin (anm) were identified in Streptomyces sp. KIB-027 and Streptomyces aureus, respectively. The roles of genes possibly involved in post-core-assembly steps in herbicidin biosynthesis in these clusters and a related her cluster were studied. Through systematic gene deletions, structural elucidation of the accumulated intermediates in the mutants, and in vitro verification of the encoded enzymes, the peripheral modification pathway for herbicidin biosynthesis is now fully established.

l-isoleucine catabolism. Identification of the genecluster for herbicidin A biosynthesis in Streptomyces sp. L-9-10 as well as its verification by heterologous expression in a nonproducing host are described, and the results of in vitro characterization of a carboxyl methyltransferase encoded in the cluster, Her8, are presented. Based on these observations, a biosynthetic pathway is proposed for herbicidins
