A putative aminotransferase gene, kanB, lies in the biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces kanamyceticus ATCC 12853 and has 66% identity with neo6 in neomycin biosynthesis. Streptomyces fradiae Deltaneo6::tsr was generated by disrupting neo6 in the neomycin producer Streptomyces fradiae. Neomycin production was completely abolished in the disruptant mutant but was restored through self-complementation of neo6. S. fradiae HN4 was generated through complementation with kanB in Streptomyces fradiae neo6::tsr. Based on metabolite analysis by ESI/MS and LC/MS, neomycin production was restored in Streptomyces fradiae HN4. Thus, like neo6, kanB also functions as a 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose aminotransferase that has dual functions in the formation of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose (DOS).
一个假定的氨基转移酶基因kanB,存在于卡那霉素链霉菌ATCC 12853的生物合成基因簇中,与新霉素生物合成中的neo6具有66%的同一性。通过破坏新霉素产生菌弗氏链霉菌中的neo6,构建了弗氏链霉菌Deltaneo6::tsr。在破坏突变体中,新霉素的产生完全被消除,但通过neo6的自我互补得以恢复。通过用弗氏链霉菌neo6::tsr中的kanB进行互补,构建了弗氏链霉菌HN4。基于电喷雾电离质谱(ESI/MS)和液相色谱/质谱(LC/MS)的代谢物分析,弗氏链霉菌HN4中恢复了新霉素的产生。因此,与neo6一样,kanB也作为2-脱氧-scyllo-肌醇氨基转移酶发挥作用,在2-脱氧-scyllo-肌醇(DOS)的形成中具有双重功能。
