Sequence analysis of the Streptomyces peucetius daunorubicin biosynthetic gene cluster revealed a partial (dnrQ) and two complete (dnrD and dnrP) open reading frames flanking dnrK. Bioconversion experiments showed that DnrD converts aklanonic acid methylester to aklaviketone and that DnrC is a methyltransferase that converts aklanonic acid to aklanonic acid methylester. The deduced dnrP gene product, homologous to known esterases, may catalyze the conversion of 10-carbomethoxy-13-deoxycarminomycin to its 10-carboxy derivative. The dnrKPQS genes may be transcribed as a polycistronic mRNA.
对天蓝色链霉菌柔红霉素生物合成基因簇的序列分析显示,在dnrK两侧有一个部分开放阅读框(dnrQ)和两个完整的开放阅读框(dnrD和dnrP)。生物转化实验表明,DnrD将阿克拉诺酸甲酯转化为阿克拉酮,并且DnrC是一种将阿克拉诺酸转化为阿克拉诺酸甲酯的甲基转移酶。推导的dnrP基因产物与已知酯酶同源,可能催化10-甲氧羰基-13-脱氧卡红菌素向其10-羧基衍生物的转化。dnrKPQS基因可能作为多顺反子mRNA进行转录。
