摘要: The wide-specificity loading module for the avermectin-producing polyketide synthase was grafted onto first multienzyme component (DEBS1) of erythromycin-producing in place normal module. Expression this hybrid enzyme erythromycin producer Saccharopolyspora erythraea produced several novel antibiotic erythromycins derived from endogenous branched-chain acid starter units typical natural avermectins. Because avermectin is known to accept more than 40 alternative carboxylic acids as units, approach opens way facile production analogs macrolides.
