Abstract excerpt
The rdm genes B, C and E from Streptomyces purpurascens encode enzymes that tailor aklavinone and aclacinomycins. We report that in addition to hydroxylation of aklavinone to epsilon-rhodomycinone, RdmE (aklavinone-11-hydroxylase) hydroxylated 11-deoxy-beta-rhodomycinone to beta-rhodomycinone both in vivo and in vitro. 15-Demethoxyaklavinone and decarbomethoxyaklavinone did not serve as substrates. RdmC...
