The characterization of TDP-α-D-glucose dehydrogenase (AtmS8), TDP-α-D-glucuronic acid decarboxylase (AtmS9), and TDP-4-keto-α-D-xylose 2,3-dehydratase (AtmS14), involved in Actinomadura melliaura AT2433 aminodideoxypentose biosynthesis, is reported. This study provides the first biochemical evidence that both deoxypentose and deoxyhexose biosynthetic pathways share common strategies for sugar 2,3-dehydration/reduction and implicates the sugar nucleotide base specificity of AtmS14 as a potential ...[more]
