abstract ORF's for rubN6 and rubN4 have been annotated as thymidine diphosphate glucose 4-ketoreductase and thymidine diphosphate glucose 3-aminotransferase by sequence analysis of the rubradirin biosynthetic gene cluster cloned from Streptomyces achromogenes var. rubradiris NRRL 3061. Both ORFs were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli as His-tagged fusion proteins. The functionalities of TDP-glucose 4-ketoreductase and TDP-glucose 3-aminotransferase were verified by in vitro enzyme assay, and a biosynthetic pathway for TDP-D: -rubranitrose is proposed.
