The recombinant thioesterase (TE) domain of the picromycin/methymycin synthase (PICS) catalyzes the macrolactonization of 3, the N-acetylcysteamine thioester of seco-10-deoxymethynolide to generate 10-deoxymethynolide (1) with high efficiency. By contrast, 4, the 7-dihydro derivative of seco-thioester 3, undergoes exclusive hydrolysis by PICS TE to seco-acid 5. The recombinant TE domain of 6-deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS TE) shows the same reaction specificity as PICS TE, but with significantly lower activity.
苦霉素/甲基霉素合酶(PICS)的重组硫酯酶(TE)结构域高效催化3(即10-脱氧甲基内酯的N-乙酰半胱胺硫酯)的大环内酯化反应,生成10-脱氧甲基内酯(1)。相比之下,3的7-二氢衍生物4(即裂环硫酯3)则被PICS TE专一性水解为裂环酸5。6-脱氧红霉内酯B合酶(DEBS TE)的重组TE结构域表现出与PICS TE相同的反应特异性,但活性显著较低。
