Biosynthesis of bellenamine by Streptomyces nashvillensis using stable isotope labeled compounds.
The biosynthesis of bellenamine was studied by feeding 13C and 15N labeled precursors to the synthetic medium culture of Streptomyces nashvillensis MD743-GF4. The high degree of incorporation of D-[1-13C]beta-lysine indicated that it is a direct intermediate, while supplemented L-beta-lysine repressed the production of bellenamine. [2-13C]Glycine was well incorporated into the C-1' of the open-chain aldoaminal structure. All four nitrogens of bellenamine were derived from [15NH4]2SO4 present in the synthetic medium. In the addition of L-lysine and glycine, [15NH4]2SO4 was highly incorporated into CONH. The feeding experiments of 13C labeled acetates suggested that the D-beta-lysine moiety was derived from L-lysine by catalysis of a new 2,3-aminomutase, and L-lysine was biosynthesized from acetates via the TCA cycle and diaminopimelic acid pathway.
