Analysis of the loading and hydroxylation steps in lankamycin biosynthesis in Streptomyces rochei.


ABSTRACT: The biosynthetic gene cluster of lankamycin (LM), a 14-member macrolide antibiotic, is encoded on the 210-kb linear plasmid pSLA2-L in Streptomyces rochei 7434AN4. LM contains a 3-hydroxy-2-butyl group at the C-13 position, which is different from an ethyl group in erythromycin. The following two possibilities could be considered for the origin of this starter moiety of LM biosynthesis: (i) an extra module exists in the biosynthetic gene cluster and loads an additional acetate molecule, or (ii) 3-hydroxy-2-butyrate or its equivalent is loaded and incorporated as a starter. The former possibility was eliminated by the complete sequencing of pSLA2-L, which showed no extra module. On the other hand, the latter was confirmed by incorporation of deuterium in [3-(2)H]dl-isoleucine into the C-14 position of LM. The timing of hydroxylation reactions at the C-15 and C-8 positions of LM was studied by constructing disruptants of two P450 hydroxylase genes, lkmF (orf26) and lkmK (orf37). The lkmF disruptant produced 8-deoxylankamycin, while the lkmK disruptant produced both 15-deoxylankamycin and 8,15-dideoxylankamycin. These results clearly showed that LkmF is a C-8 hydroxylase and LkmK is a C-15 hydroxylase in LM biosynthesis and in addition suggested the order of hydroxylation steps; namely, hydroxylation may occur at first at C-15 by LkmK and then at C-8 by LkmF.
