Abstract excerpt
l-Digitoxose is an unusual dideoxysugar found attached to various pharmacologically active natural products, including the antitumor antibiotic tetrocarcin A and the antibiotics kijanimicin and jadomycin B. Six enzymes are required for its production starting from glucose 1-phosphate. Here we describe a combined structural and functional investigation of KijD10, an NADPH-dependent C-3''-ketoreductase that...
