Note: Functional Complementation of Pyran Ring Formation in Actinorhodin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) by Ketoreductase Genes for Granaticin Biosynthesis

摘要

A mutation in actVI-ORF1, which controls C-3 reduction in actinorhodin biosynthesis by Streptomyces coelicolor, was complemented by gra-ORF5 and -ORF6 from the granaticin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces violaceoruber Tü22. It is hypothesized that, while gra-ORF5 alone is a ketoreductase for C-9, gra-ORF6 gives the enzyme regiospecificity also for C-3.
