Disease relevance of SGTB

  • To examine the ability of the mycaminosyltransferase TylM2 from Streptomyces fradiae to utilise a different amino sugar, tylM2 was integrated into S. erythraea SGT2, and the resulting strain was fed with the 16-membered aglycone tylactone, the normal TylM2 substrate [1].
  • AIMS: To investigate the production of siderophores by Saccharopolyspora erythraea SGT2 and how this production is affected by the inoculum [2].
 

High impact information on SGTB

  • Although rhamnosylerythromycins did not serve directly as substrates for the spinosyn methyltransferases, methylrhamnosyl-erythromycins were obtained by subsequent conversion of the corresponding methylrhamnosyl-erythronolide precursors using the S. erythraea strain SGT2 housing EryCIII, the desosaminyltransferase of the erythromycin pathway [3].
  • The Sgt2 gene was identified by deduced protein sequence homology to the previously identified Sgt1 gene [4].
