Biosynthetic Study of Cephalosporin P1 Reveals a Multifunctional P450 Enzyme and a Site-Selective Acetyltransferase
20 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Fusidane-type antibiotics are a group of triterpenoid antibiotics. They include helvolic acid, fusidic acid, and cephalosporin P 1, among which fusidic acid has been used clinically. We have recently elucidated the biosynthesis of helvolic acid and fusidic acid, which share an early biosynthetic route involving six conserved enzymes. Here, we report two separate gene clusters for cephalosporin P 1 biosynthesis....
