Escherichia coli strains harbouring the plasmid pIE636 are able to synthesize acetylcoenzyme A: streptothricin acetyltransferase (ACSAT). The (enzymatic) N-acetylation of streptothricin F is known to contribute significantly towards the loss of antibacterial activity. 13C-NMR analysis of [14C]N-acetyl-labelled streptothricin F, produced by ACSAT-catalysed acetylation of streptothricin F and subsequent purification by various chromatographical steps, unequivocally revealed streptothricin F to be acetylated at the beta-amino group (C16) (and not at the epsilon-amino group (C19)).
携带质粒pIE636的大肠杆菌菌株能够合成乙酰辅酶A:链丝菌素乙酰转移酶(ACSAT)。已知链丝菌素F的(酶促)N-乙酰化显著导致抗菌活性丧失。通过ACSAT催化链丝菌素F乙酰化并随后通过各种色谱步骤纯化产生的[14C]N-乙酰基标记的链丝菌素F的13C-NMR分析明确显示链丝菌素F在β-氨基(C16)处被乙酰化(而不是在ε-氨基(C19)处)。
