Feeding studies indicate a possible synthetic pattern for the N-terminal cis-aminocyclopentane carboxylic acid (ACPC) and suggest an unusual source of the high-carbon sugar skeleton of amipurimycin (APM). The biosynthetic gene cluster of APM was identified and confirmed by in vivo experiments. A C9 core intermediate was discovered from null mutants of ACPC pathway, and an ATP-grasp enzyme (ApmA8) was reconstituted in vitro for ACPC loading. Our observations allow a first proposal of the APM biosynthetic pathway.
喂养研究表明 N-端顺式-氨基环戊烷羧酸(ACPC)可能具有合成模式,并提示安普霉素(APM)的高碳糖骨架具有不寻常的来源。通过体内实验鉴定并证实了 APM 的生物合成基因簇。从 ACPC 途径的缺失突变体中发现了 C9 核心中间产物,并在体外重建了用于 ACPC 加载的 ATP 抓取酶(ApmA8)。我们的观察结果为 APM 的生物合成途径提供了第一个建议。
