The gene cluster responsible for grincamycin (GCN, 1) biosynthesis in Streptomyces lusitanus SCSIO LR32 was identified; heterologous expression of the GCN cluster in S. coelicolor M512 yielded P-1894B (1b) as a predominant product. The ΔgcnQ mutant accumulates intermediate 1a and two shunt products 2a and 3a bearing l-rhodinose for l-cinerulose A substitutions. In vitro data demonstrated that GcnQ is capable of iteratively tailoring the two l-rhodinose moieties into l-aculose moieties, supporting divergent roles of GcnQ in different hosts.
