Abstract excerpt
Carbamoylation is one of the post-PKS modifications in ansamitocin biosynthesis. A novel ansamitocinoside with carbamoyl substitution at the C-4 hydroxyl group of the N-β-D-glucosyl moiety was identified from the ansamitocin producer, Actinosynnema pretiosum. Through biotransformation, the carbamoyltransferase gene asm21 was suggested to be responsible for the carbamoylation of the glucosyl moiety. Three new...
