Abstract excerpt
Pradimicins are antifungal and antiviral natural products from Actinomadura hibisca P157-2. The sugar moieties play a critical role in the biological activities of these compounds. There are two glycosyltransferase genes in the pradimicin biosynthetic gene cluster, pdmS and pdmQ, which are putatively responsible for the introduction of the sugar moieties during pradimicin biosynthesis. In this study, we disrupted...
