ValC, a New Type of C7-Cyclitol Kinase Involved in the Biosynthesis of the Antifungal Agent Validamycin A
ChemBioChem 2007, 8, 632-641,-0001,():
The gene valC,which encodes an enzyme homologous to the 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone kinase (AcbM) of the acarbose biosynthetic pathway,was identified in the validamycin A biosynthetic gene cluster. Inactivation of valC resulted in mutants that lack the ability to produce validamycin A. Complementation experiments with a replicating plasmid harboring full-length valC restored the production of validamycin A,thus suggesting a critical function of valC in validamycin biosynthesis. In vitro characterization of ValC revealed a new type of C7-cyclitol kinase,which phosphorylates valienone and validone—but not 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone,5-epi-valiolone, or glucose—to afford their 7-phosphate derivatives. The results provide new insights into the activity of this enzyme and also confirm the existence of two different pathways leading to the same end-product: the valienamine moiety common to acarbose and validamycin A.
