Abstract excerpt
Jadomycin B is a member of atypical angucycline antibiotics whose biosynthesis involves a unique ring opening C-C bond cleavage reaction. Here, we firmly identified JadG as the enzyme responsible for the B ring opening reaction in jadomycin biosynthesis. In vitro analysis of the JadG catalyzed reaction revealed that it requires FMNH(2) or FADH(2) as cofactors in the conversion of dehydrorabelomycin to jadomycin...
