Glycosyltransferases are ubiquitous in nature. They catalyze a glycosidic bond formation between sugar donors and sugar or nonsugar acceptors to produce oligo/polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosylated natural products, and other sugar-containing entities. However, a trehalose 6-phosphate synthase-like protein has been found to catalyze an unprecedented nonglycosidic C-N bond formation in the biosynthesis of the aminocyclitol antibiotic validamycin A. This dedicated 'pseudoglycosyltransferase catalyzes a condensation between GDP-valienol and validamine 7-phosphate to give validoxylamine A 7′-phosphate with net retention of the 'anomeric configuration of the donor cyclitol in the product. The enzyme operates in sequence with a phosphatase, which dephosphorylates validoxylamine A 7′-phosphate to validoxylamine A.

(+)-Validamycins C and F were first completely synthesised by use of a common blocked derivative 5 of (+)-validoxylamine A.The diols 6 and 7, obtained by acid hydrolysis of 5, were appropriately protected to give the aglycones 17, 25 and 30, which were co
