The hydroxylase encoded by the ptlH (SAV2991) gene from the pentalenolactone gene cluster of Streptomyces avermitilis was cloned by PCR and expressed in Escherichia coli as an N-terminal His6-tag protein. Incubation of recombinant PtlH with (+/-)-1-deoxypentalenic acid (5) in the presence of Fe(II), alpha-ketoglutarate, and O2 gave (-)-11beta-hydroxy-1-deoxypentalenic acid (8), whose structure and stereochemistry were determined by a combination of 1H, 13C, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY NMR.
