Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of kinetics and products of the Baeyer-Villiger oxygenase MtmOIV, the key enzyme of the biosynthetic pathway toward the natural product anticancer drug mithramycin from Streptomyces argillaceus.

TL;DR: MtmOIV, the key oxygenase of the mithramycin biosynthetic pathway in Streptomyces argillaceus, was proven to act initially as Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase, but may also catalyze various follow-up reaction steps.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering Biosynthetic Pathways for Deoxysugars: Branched-Chain Sugar Pathways and Derivatives from the Antitumor Tetracenomycin

TL;DR: Formation of two compounds represents examples of the sugar cosubstrate flexibility of the ElmGT glycosyltransferase, and provided insights into the substrate flexibility of deoxysugar biosynthesis enzymes as the C-methyltransferases EryBIII and MtmC, the epimerases OleL and EryBVII, and the 4-ketoreductases ERYV and OleU.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combining sugar biosynthesis genes for the generation of L- and D-amicetose and formation of two novel antitumor tetracenomycins.

TL;DR: L- and D-stereoisomers of amicetose were generated by combining sugar biosynthesis genes from four different antibiotic gene clusters and both sugars were transferred to the elloramycin aglycone by the sugar flexible ElmGT glycosyltransferase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystallization and X‐ray diffraction properties of Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase MtmOIV from the mithramycin biosynthetic pathway in Streptomyces argillaceus

TL;DR: Structural solution combining molecular-replacement phases and anomalous phases from selenium is in progress, and L-Selenomethionine-incorporated MtmOIV has been obtained.
