Description
Actinorhodin is a benzoisochromanequinone polyketide antibiotic produced from Streptomyces coelicolor (Magnolo et al. 1991). It belongs to a class of aromatic polyketides synthesized by type II PKSs (Manikprabhu and Lingappa 2013). It can be used as a pH indicator, turning red below pH 8.5 and blue above.
Definition
ChEBI: Actinorhodin is a member of the class of benzoisochromanequinone that is produced by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and exhibits antibiotic activity. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite and an antimicrobial agent. It is a benzoisochromanequinone, a polyketide, a dicarboxylic acid, a polyphenol, a ring assembly and a member of p-quinones. It is a conjugate acid of an actinorhodin(3-).
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1397-77-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,3,9 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1397-77:
(6*1)+(5*3)+(4*9)+(3*7)+(2*7)+(1*7)=99
99 % 10 = 9
So 1397-77-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Epoxyquinone formation catalyzed by a two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenase involved in biosynthesis of the antibiotic actinorhodin

The biosynthetic gene cluster of the aromatic polyketide antibiotic actinorhodin (ACT) in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) carries a pair of genes, actVA-ORF5 and actVB, that encode a two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenase (FMO). Our previous studies have demonstrated that the ActVA-ORF5/ActVB system functions as a quinone-forming C-6 oxygenase in ACT biosynthesis. Furthermore, we found that this enzyme system exhibits an additional oxygenation activity with dihydrokalafungin (DHK), a proposed intermediate in the ACT biosynthetic pathway, and generates two reaction products. These compounds were revealed to be monooxygenated derivatives of kalafungin, which is spontaneously formed through oxidative lactonization of DHK. Their absolute structures were elucidated from their NMR spectroscopic data and by computer modeling and X-ray crystallography as (5S,14R)-epoxykalafungin and (5R,14S)-epoxykalafungin, demonstrating an additional epoxyquinone-forming activity of the ActVA-ORF5/ActVB system in vitro.
