Biosynthesis of aminoglycoside antibiotics: cloning, expression and characterisation of an aminotransferase involved in the pathway to 2-deoxystreptamine

Abstract

The gene btrR from Bacillus circulans has been cloned and expressed and shown to produce a protein which catalyses the transamination of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose to give 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosamine, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of 2-deoxystreptamine.
