Proof that the actVI genetic region of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is involved in stereospecific pyran ring formation in the biosynthesis of actinorhodin

Pyran ring formation in the biosynthesis of actinorhodin in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was studied using the act cluster deficient strain, CH999, carrying pRM5-based plasmids harbouring combinations of the actVI genes. The strain, CH999/pIJ5660 (pRM5 + actVI-ORF1), produced a chiral intermediate,...

Zusammenfassung:Pyran ring formation in the biosynthesis of actinorhodin in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was studied using the act cluster deficient strain, CH999, carrying pRM5-based plasmids harbouring combinations of the actVI genes. The strain, CH999/pIJ5660 (pRM5 + actVI-ORF1), produced a chiral intermediate, ( S)-DNPA, suggesting that the actVI-ORF1 product is a reductase determining the C-3 stereochemical centre. Pyran ring formation in the biosynthesis of actinorhodin in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was studied using the act cluster deficient strain, CH999, carrying a series of pRM5-based plasmids harbouring combinations of the actVI genes. The strain, CH999/pU5660 (pRM5 + actVI-ORF1), produced a chiral biosynthetic intermediate, ( S)-DNPA, suggesting that the actVI-ORF1 product is a reductase detemining the C-3 stereochemical centre.
