Characterization of AntB, a Promiscuous Acyltransferase Involved in Antimycin Biosynthesis
摘要:
The in vivo and in vitro characterization of AntB, a dedicated acyltransferase encoded in the antimycin biosynthetic gene cluster, which catalyzes the C-8 acyloxy formation is reported. It is demonstrated that AntB has broad substrate specificity toward both the acyl substrate and the acyl carrier and produces more antimycin analogues with varying C-8 acyloxy moieties.
