A series of labeled α-arginines have been fed to fermentations of Streptomyces griseochromogenes in order to examine the mechanism of L-β-arginine formation in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic blasticidin S. [3-13C,2-15N]Arginine was synthesized and fed; analysis of the derived antibiotic by 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed the retention of the original α-nitrogen and its intramolecular migration to the β-position, revealing the presence of an arginine-2,3-aminomutase. Feedings of [2,3,3-2H3]-, [3,3-2H2]-, and [2-2H]arginines revealed the complete retention of the original β-hydrogens with migration of one to the α-position, as well as partial loss of the original α-hydrogen presumably due to arginine racemase activity. (3R)-[3-2H]- and (3S)-[3-2H]arginines were synthesized unambiguously and used to determine that the pro-3R hydrogen of α-arginine migrates to the α-position (C-2). δ-N-[13CH3]Methylarginine was synthesized, mixed with [guanidino-14C]arginine, and fed to S. griseochromogenes. A 42% incorporation of radioactivity from arginine was obtained, but no 13C enrichment was observed in the blasticidin S sample, indicating that arginine, itself, is the aminomutase substrate.
