Comparison of homologous angucycline modification enzymes from five closely related Streptomyces pathways (pga, cab, lad, urd, lan) allowed us to deduce the biosynthetic steps responsible for the three alternative outcomes: gaudimycin C, dehydrorabelomycin, and 11-deoxylandomycinone. The C-12b-hydroxylated urdamycin and gaudimycin metabolites appear to be the ancestral representatives from which landomycins and jadomysins have evolved as a result of functional divergence of the ketoreductase LanV and hydroxylase JadH, respectively. Specifically, LanV has acquired affinity for an earlier biosynthetic intermediate resulting in a switch in biosynthetic order and lack of hydroxyls at C-4a and C-12b, whereas in JadH, C-4a/C-12b dehydration has evolved into an independent secondary function replacing C-12b hydroxylation. Importantly, the study reveals that many of the modification enzymes carry several alternative, hidden, or ancestral catalytic functions, which are strictly dependent on the biosynthetic context.
