Vicenistatin, an antitumor antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces halstedii, is a unique 20-membered macrocyclic lactam with a novel aminosugar vicenisamine. The vicenistatin biosynthetic gene cluster (vin) spanning similar to64 kbp was cloned and ...
Mutations in the Streptomyces peucetius dnrD gene block the ring cyclization leading from aklanonic acid methyl ester (AAME) to aklaviketone (AK), an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway to daunorubicin (DNR) and doxorubicin. To investigate th...
