From A to B: Through detailed biochemical investigations, we discovered that VldW, an α-ketoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase, regioselectively hydroxylates validamycin A to validamycin B. The results provide insights into the biosynthesis of hydroxylated validamycins and could be used to control the metabolic outcomes of the validamycin pathway.
从 A 到 B:通过详细的生化研究,我们发现 VldW 是一种 α-酮戊二酸/Fe(II)依赖性双加氧酶,能区域选择性地将 validamycin A 羟基化为 validamycin B。研究结果为羟基化 validamycins 的生物合成提供了新见解,并可用于控制 validamycin 途径的代谢产物。
