Abstract
Genome scanning of Streptomyces kaniharaensis, the producer of formycin A, reveals two sets of purA, purB, purC, and purH genes. The Pur enzymes catalyze pyrimidine assembly of purine nucleobases. To test whether enzymes encoded by the second set of pur genes catalyze analogous transformations in formycin biosynthesis, formycin B 5'-phosphate was synthesized and shown to be converted by ForA and ForB to formycin A 5'-phosphate. These results support that For enzymes are responsible for formycin formation.Entities:
