Promiscuous hydroxylases for the functionalization of polycyclic tetramate macrolactams – conversion of ikarugamycin to butremycin

Abstract

Polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) are a structurally, biomedically and biosynthetically intriguing class of bacterial metabolites. By combining parts of the machineries of different PTM biosynthetic pathways, we demonstrate for the first time the substrate promiscuity of a class of PTM tailoring enzymes, thereby facilitating the (bio)synthesis of butremycin.
