摘要:
Subject of the invention is a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) in which R1-R9 represent, independently of each other hydrogen a substituent; m is 0, 1 or 2; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and the bonds marked with A, B, C, D, E and F indicate, independently of each other, that two adjacent carbon atoms are connected by a double bond, a single bond, a single bond and an epoxide bridge, or a single bond and a methylene bridge, including, where applicable, an E/Z isomer, a mixture of E/Z isomers, and/or a tautomer thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, which process comprises I) bringing a compound of formula (II); wherein R1-R7, m, n, A, B, C, D, E and F have the same meanings as given for formula (I) above, into contact with a biocatalyst that is capable of specifically oxidising the alcohol at position 4″ in order to form a compound of formula (III), in which R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, m, n, A, B, C, D, E and F have the meanings given for formula (I); and 2) reacting the compound of formula (III) with an amine of the formula HN(R8)R9, wherein R8 and R9 have the same meanings as given for formula (I), and which is known, in the presence of a reducing agent.
摘要:
The stereochemical centers of a polyketide can be changed by replacement of ketosynthase domains in the polyketide synthase (PKS) enzyme that produces the polyketide. The specificity of the AT domains of a PKS is determined by a hypervariable region that can be replaced or altered to change the specificity of the AT domain from a naturally occurring extender unit to another naturally or non-naturally occurring extender unit. Non-naturally occurring extender units, including methylmalonyl N-acetyl cysteamine thioester can be incorporated into polyketides in recombinant host cells or in cell-free systems to make polyketides.

Spinosyn biosynthetic genes, spinosyn producing microorganisms transformed with the biosynthetic genes, methods using the biosynthetic genes to increase production of spinosyn insecticidal macrolides, and methods using the genes or fragments thereof to change the products produced by spinosyn-producing microorganisms.
摘要:
The heterologous expression of the oleandomycin polyketide synthase (OlePKS) in Streptomyces lividans, produces 8,8 a-deoxyoleandolide, an aglycone precursor of oleandomycin. The co-expression with deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS) in S. lividans of the P450 monooxygenase OleP produces 8,8 a-dihydroxy-6-deoxyerythonolide B and other derivatives that are precursors to important macrolide antibiotics.
摘要:
The invention provides a biosynthetic gene cluster for mitomycin, for example, a mitomycin biosynthetic cluster from organisms such as Streptomyces, for instance, S. lavendulae, as well as methods of using gene(s) within the cluster to alter antibiotic biosynthesis and to prepare a polyketide synthase.
摘要:
Host cells comprising recombinant vectors encoding the FK-520 polyketide synthase and FK-520 modification enzymes can be used to produce the FK-520 polyketide. Recombinant DNA constructs comprising one or more FK-520 polyketide synthase domains, modules, open reading frames, and variants thereof can be used to produce recombinant polyketide synthases and a variety of different polyketides with application as pharmaceutical and veterinary products.
摘要:
Recombinant nucleic acids that encode all or a portion of the epothilone polyketide synthase (PKS) are used to express recombinant PKS genes in host cells for the production of epothilones, epothilone derivatives, and polyketides that are useful as cancer chemotherapeutics, fungicides, and immunosuppressants.
摘要:
Hybrid and novel polyketide synthases (PKSs) and polyketides are produced by use of a multiple vector system. The combinatorial possibilities offered by placing the various catalytic activities of PKS systems on separate vectors permits the construction of improved libraries of PKS and polyketides. In addition, polyketides can be produced in hosts that ordinarily do not produce polyketides by supplying, along with an expression system for the desired PKS, an expression system for holo acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase.
摘要:
Recombinant DNA compounds that encode all or a portion of the oleandolide polyketide synthase are used to express recombinant polyketide synthase genes in host cells for the production of oleandolide, oleandolide derivatives, and polyketides that are useful as antibiotics and motilides.
摘要:
Yields of polyketides produced in host cells such as Streptomyces can be increased by coexpression of the ptpA gene. The introduction of recombinant vectors encoding ptpA and polyketide synthase genes is more efficient and does not require methyl-free DNA if the host cell is a restriction/methylation deficient strain, such as Streptomyces lividans K4-114, K4-155, or K27-39.
