专利号:US-2008044860-A1 优先权日:2003-11-28 标题 :Polyketides and Their Synthesis 发明人:GAISSER SABINE; HAYDOCK STEPHEN FREDERICK; LEADLAY PETER FRANCIS; MCARTHUR HAMISH ALASTAIR IRVIN 权利人:GAISSER SABINE; HAYDOCK STEPHEN FREDERICK; LEADLAY PETER FRANCIS; MCARTHUR HAMISH ALASTAIR IRVIN 摘要:Macrolides particularly erythromycins and azithromycins, having O-mycaminosyl or O-angolosaminyl groups, particularly at the 5 -position, are produced using a gene cassette comprising a combination of genes which, in an appropriate strain background, are able to direct the synthesis of mycaminose or angolosamine and to direct its subsequent transfer to an aglycone or pseudoaglycone. Synthetic genes may comprise one or more of angMIII, angMI, angB, angAI, angAII, angorf14, angorf4, tylMIII, tylMI, tylB, tylAI, tylAII, eryCVI, spnO, eryBVI, eryK, tyl Ia and ery G. Glycosyltransfer genes may comprise one or more of eryCIII, tylMII, angMII, desVII, eryBV, spnP and midI.
专利号:US-2002192767-A1 优先权日:1999-10-13 标题 :Biosynthesis of polyketide synthase substrates 发明人:KHOSLA CHAITAN; PFEIFER BLAINE 摘要:The use of enzymes which catalyze the production of starter and extender units for polyketides is described. In addition, modified loading modules are described, which can accept a variety of starting units such as substituted benzoates, and which can be used to generate substituted derivatives of natural products. These enzymes may be used to enhance the yield of polyketides that are natively produced or polyketides that are rationally designed. By using these techniques, the synthesis of a complete polyketide has been achieved in E. coli . Production can be enhanced in microbial organisms of polyketides and other secondary metabolites by delaying production until after exponential phase and by maintaining relatively constant nutrient levels in the medium. In addition, polyketide production can be enhanced by providing an expression system for a thioesterase II. Thus, by modifying the host organism and changing the culture conditions, synthesis of a secondary metabolite can be enhanced. The present invention also results in a host organism with desirable characteristics to be used in the production of such polyketides and to assess the results of gene shuffling.

The mechanism of action is the inhibition of the quoÂrum sensing of P. aeruginosa, in particular the impediment of the las and rhl quorum sensing systems synthesis and the impediment of the synthesis of the autoinducers N-[3-oxodoÂ1o decanoyl]-L-homoserine lactone and N-butyrylhomoserine lacÂtone. This allows for inhalation treatments of P. aerugi-nosa infections at non-inhibiting concentrations of the macrolide.
专利号:US-2004053274-A1 优先权日:2002-09-04 标 题 :Gene cluster of vicenistatin biosynthesis, a vicenisamine glycosyltransferase polypeptide, and a gene encoding the polypeptide 发明人:KAKINUMA KATSUMI 权利人:TOKYO INST TECH 摘要:To achieve enzymatic production of vicenistatin, a valuable compound, this invention provides enzymes involved in biosynthesis of vicenistatin and genes encoding the enzymes. This invention provides base sequence of the vin cluster which encodes enzyme complex responsible for biosynthesis of vicenistatin. This invention further provides a glycosyltransferase (VinC enzyme), which catalyzes production of vicenistatin using dTDP-vicenisamine as a substrate. Moreover, this invention provides a gene (vinC gene) encoding the enzyme. The VinC enzyme is useful for enzymatic synthesis of valuable compound vicenistatin. Furthermore, it is suggested that use of the VinC enzyme will enable development of novel polyketide glycosides.
