  • Title: Biosynthesis of cervimycin C, an aromatic polyketide antibiotic bearing an unusual dimethylmalonyl moiety.
    Author: Herold K, Xu Z, Gollmick FA, Grafe U, Hertweck C.
    Journal: Org Biomol Chem; 2004 Sep 07; 2(17):2411-4. PubMed ID: 15326518.
    Abstract:
    Cervimycin C is the major component of an antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces tendae HKI-179 consisting of a tetracycline-type aglycon, six tridesoxysugars and a rare dimethylmalonyl moiety. The biosynthetic origin of cervimycin was studied by molecular studies and feeding experiments, which reveal that the dimethylmalonate unit is not derived from malonate, but from valine.
