Abstract excerpt
The mannopeptimycins (MPPs) are potent glycopeptide antibiotics that contain both D and L forms of the unique, arginine-derived amino acid beta-hydroxyenduracididine (betahEnd). The product of the mppO gene in the MPP biosynthetic cluster resembles several non-heme iron, alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenases, such as VioC and clavaminate synthase. The role of MppO in betahEnd biosynthesis was confirmed through...
