Abstract
Comparative analyses of the four known anthraquinone-fused enediynes biosynthetic gene clusters identified four genes, tnmE6, tnmH, tnmL, and tnmQ, unique to the tnm gene cluster. Larger scale fermentation of both the S. sp. CB03234 wild-type and the δtnmH and δtnmL mutant strains resulted in the characterization of 20 new tiancimycin (TNM) congeners, including five enediynes. These findings enabled a proposal for the late stage of TNM biosynthesis featuring an intermediate possibly common for all anthraquinone-fused enediynes.
