摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a transformant altered so as to produce a secondary metabolite in which a benzene ring of the secondary product is modified at the para-position with a functional group containing a nitrogen atom. A transformant according to the present invention is a transformant of an organism producing a secondary metabolite having a benzene ring skeleton without substitution at the para-position with a functional group containing a nitrogen atom, said transformant being transformed by introducing a gene involved in a biosynthetic pathway from chorismic acid to p -aminophenylpyruvic acid so as to produce a secondary metabolite having a benzene ring skeleton substituted at the para-position with a functional group containing a nitrogen atom. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a novel gene involved in the biosynthetic pathway from chorismic acid to p -aminophenylpyruvic acid. A novel gene according to the present invention comprises genes encoding the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4 and 6 or modified sequences thereof.

摘要:
A process for the synthesis of an Exochelin comprising the steps of generating L-N-[(2-benzyloxy-(benzoyl)]serine or L-N-[2-benzyloxy(benzoyl)] threonine, creating L-N-t-Boc-εhydroxynorleucine and reacting same to produce L-N-Boc-ε-bromonorleucine trimethylsilylethyl ester, providing a dicarboxylic acid and forming an O-benzyl methyl hydroxamate from the dicarboxylic acid, coupling the O-benzyl methyl hydroxamate with the L-N-Boc-ε-bromonorleucine trimethylsilylethyl ester to give an L-N?2-Boc-N6¿-methyl,N6-(benzyloxy) lysine 2-trimethylsilylethyl ester which incorporates the dicarboxylic acid as modified above, removing the N-tert-butoxycarbonyl protecting group from the L-N?2-Boc-N6¿-methyl,N6-(benzyloxy) lysine 2-trimethylsilylethyl ester to yield a substituted lysine, and coupling the same with the L-N-[2-benzyloxy(benzoyl) serine or -threonine to yield a 2-trimethyl silylethyl ester of dibenzyl Exochelic acid, transforming the 2-trimethyl silylethyl ester of dibenzyl Exochelic acid to dibenzyl Exochelic acid , preparing benzyl epi-cobactin, forming an ester bond between the dibenzyl Exochelic acid and benzyl epi-cobactin to form an intermediate, and, hydrogenolytically removing three benzyl groups from said intermediate, resulting in the synthesized Exochelin. More particularly, a synthesis for Exochelin 786SM (R) is disclosed wherein the dicarboxylic acid is suberic acid and the serine form is utilized.
