The Streptomyces peucetius dpsY and dnrX Genes Govern Early and Late Steps of Daunorubicin and Doxorubicin Biosynthesis
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
The Streptomyces peucetius dpsY and dnrX genes govern early and late steps in the biosynthesis of the clinically valuable antitumor drugs daunorubicin (DNR) and doxorubicin (DXR). Although their deduced products resemble those of genes thought to be involved in antibiotic production in several other bacteria, this information could not be used to identify the functions of dpsY and dnrX. Replacement of dpsY with a...
