Abstract
Acetyl-branched sugars, although relatively rare, are found in certain natural products with notable bioactivities. Herein, we biochemically investigated the biosynthetic pathway of this rare sugar in type II polyketides featuring one-pot enzymatic synthesis of the key acetyl-branched TDP-sugar. The evidence shows that TjhB9/B10 were responsible for the attachment of an acetyl unit, a glycosyltransferase TjhB3 guided the uploading of a branched sugar, and a C7 reductase encoded by a gene outside the biosynthetic gene cluster subsequently reduced the TjhB3 product. Collectively, these results elucidated the sugar tailoring pathway of acetyl-branched sugar-modified polyketides.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
