Abstract excerpt
The tyrosine aminomutase (TAM) CmdF converts L-Tyr preferentially to (R)-beta-Tyr--a biosynthetic building block subsequently incorporated into the highly cytotoxic chondramides by the myxobacterium Chondromyces crocatus. Together with the similar enzymes SgcC4 from Streptomyces globisporus and MdpC4 from Actinomadura madurae, which preferentially produce (S)-beta-Tyr, CmdF belongs to a novel 2,3-aminomutase...
