Lomaiviticin biosynthesis employs a new strategy for starter unit generation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lomaiviticin biosynthesis is thought to utilize a propionyl starter unit for a type II polyketide synthase (PKS). Discovery of the lomaiviticin (lom) biosynthetic gene cluster suggested an unusual method for starter unit generation involving a bifunctional acyltransferase/decarboxylase (AT/DC) thus far observed only in type I PKS pathways. In vitro biochemical characterization of AT/DC Lom62 confirmed its ability to generate a propionyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP), revealing a new role for this enzymatic activity within natural product biosynthesis.

Identification of Alp1U and Lom6 as epoxy hydrolases and implications for kinamycin and lomaiviticin biosynthesis
The naturally occurring diazobenzofluorenes, kinamycins, fluostatins and lomaiviticins, possess highly oxygenated A-rings, via which the last forms a dimeric pharmacophore. However, neither the A-ring transformation nor the dimerization mechanisms have been explored thus far. Here we propose a unified biosynthetic logic for the three types of antibiotics and verify one key reaction via detailed...

In this paper, a new control strategy for control of a distributed generation (DG) unit in islanding mode is proposed using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The potential of the proposed approach for optimal setting of the conventional lead-lag controller has been investigated. When connected to the utility grid, the DG is controlled by interface voltage source converter (VSC) w...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of trioxacarcin revealing a different starter unit and complex tailoring steps for type II polyketide synthase.
Trioxacarcins (TXNs) are highly oxygenated, polycyclic aromatic natural products with remarkable biological activity and structural complexity. Evidence from 13C-labelled precursor feeding studies demonstrated that the scaffold was biosynthesized from one unit of l-isoleucine and nine units of malonyl-CoA, which suggested a different starter unit in the biosynthesis. Genetic analysis of the bio...
متن کاملThe Streptomyces peucetius dpsC gene determines the choice of starter unit in biosynthesis of the daunorubicin polyketide.
The starter unit used in the biosynthesis of daunorubicin is propionyl coenzyme A (CoA) rather than acetyl-CoA, which is used in the production of most of the bacterial aromatic polyketides studied to date. In the daunorubicin biosynthesis gene cluster of Streptomyces peucetius, directly downstream of the genes encoding the beta-ketoacyl:acyl carrier protein synthase subunits, are two genes, dp...
