Glycosylated Derivatives of Steffimycin: Insights into the Role of the Sugar Moieties for the Biological Activity
25 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the steffimycin gene cluster in Steptomyces albus in combination with plasmids directing the biosynthesis of different neutral and branched-chain deoxyhexoses led to the identification of twelve new glycosylated derivatives of steffimycin with different degrees of decoration in the tetracyclic core. These experiments demonstrate the flexibility of L-rhamnosyltransferase StfG for recognition of a...
