Kitasatospora kifunensis, the talosin producer, was used as a source for the dTDP-6-deoxy-l-talose (dTDP-6dTal) biosynthetic gene cluster, serving as a template for four recombinant proteins of RmlA(Kkf), RmlB(Kkf), RmlC(Kkf), and Tal, which complete the biosynthesis of dTDP-6dTal from dTTP, alpha-d-glucose-1-phosphate, and NAD(P)H. The identity of dTDP-6dTal was validated using (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. K. kifunensistal and tll, the known dTDP-6dTal synthase gene of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans origin, have low sequence similarity and are distantly related within the NDP-6-deoxy-4-ketohexose reductase family, providing an example of the genetic diversity within the dTDP-6dTal biosynthetic pathway.
金褐链霉菌(Kitasatospora kifunensis)是塔洛辛的产生菌,被用作 dTDP-6-去氧-l-塔洛糖(dTDP-6dTal)生物合成基因簇的来源,作为 RmlA(Kkf)、RmlB(Kkf)、RmlC(Kkf)和 Tal 这四种重组蛋白的模板,它们完成了 dTDP-6dTal 从 dTTP、α-d-葡萄糖-1-磷酸和 NAD(P)H 的生物合成。使用 (1)H 和 (13)C NMR 光谱验证了 dTDP-6dTal 的身份。金褐链霉菌 tal 和 tll,是放线菌 Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans 中已知的 dTDP-6dTal 合酶基因,它们的序列相似度较低,在 NDP-6-去氧-4-酮己糖还原酶家族中亲缘关系较远,为 dTDP-6dTal 生物合成途径中的遗传多样性提供了一个例证。
