A two-stage one-pot enzymatic synthesis of TDP-L-mycarose from thymidine and glucose-1-phosphate
Takahashi, Haruko,Liu, Yung-Nan,Liu, Hung-Wen
, p. 1432 - 1433 (2006)
This report describes a procedure combining six enzymes native to Escherichia coli or Salmonella typhi, such as thymidine kinase (TK), thymidylate kinase (TMK), nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK), pyruvate kinase (PK; for ATP regeneration), TDP-glucose synthetase (RfbA), and TDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (RfbB), with five enzymes from Streptomyces fradiae, such as TylX3, TylC1, TylC3, TylK, and TylC2, that resulted in the biosynthesis of TDP-l-mycarose from glucose-1-phosphate and thymidine. This two-stage one-pot approach can be readily applied to the synthesis of other unusual sugars. Copyright
Substrate flexibility of vicenisaminyltransferase VinC involved in the biosynthesis of vicenistatin
Minami, Atsushi,Eguchi, Tadashi
, p. 5102 - 5107 (2008/02/04)
A glycosyltransferase VinC is involved in the biosynthesis of antitumor β-glycoside antibiotic vicenistatin. It catalyzes a glycosyl transfer reaction between dTDP-α-D-vicenisamine and vicenilactam. Previous identification of its broad substrate specifici
