The glycosyltransferase ElmGT from Streptomyces olivaceus is involved in the biosynthesis of the antitumor drug elloramycin, and it has been shown to possess a broad deoxysugar recognition pattern, being able to transfer different l- and d-deoxysugars to 8-demethyl-tetracenomycin C, the elloramycin aglycone. Site-directed mutagenesis in residues L309 and N312, located in the alpha/beta/alpha motif within the nucleoside diphosphate-sugar binding region, can be used to modulate the substrate flexibility of ElmGT, making it more precise for transfer of specific deoxysugars.
来自橄榄链霉菌的糖基转移酶ElmGT参与抗肿瘤药物埃罗霉素的生物合成,并且已证明它具有广泛的脱氧糖识别模式,能够将不同的L-和D-脱氧糖转移到埃罗霉素苷元8-去甲基-四并苯霉素C上。位于核苷二磷酸糖结合区域内α/β/α基序中的L309和N312残基的定点诱变可用于调节ElmGT的底物灵活性,使其对特定脱氧糖的转移更精确。
