The biosynthesis of the propyl-L-hygric acid and ethyl-L-hygric acid moieties of lincomycins A and B were examined by using deuterated and 13C-labeled precursors in combination with 13C-NMR and mass spectral analysis. The results, using specifically deuterated tyrosine, DOPA and methionine, demonstrate that tyrosine is converted via DOPA to an intermediate that undergoes aromatic ring cleavage most probably via a 2,3-extradiol cleavage reaction. An experiment using D-(13C6)glucose in combination with analysis of the 13C-13C spin-coupling patterns in lincomycin A and propyl-L-hygric acid permits the determinant of those carbon atoms that remain together during the biosynthesis of lincomycin A. Glucose is converted via glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate shunt to phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose 4-phosphate, respectively, which are in turn converted via the shikimic acid pathway to tyrosine and hence into DOPA. The subsequent reactions after DOPA are consisent with the 2,3-extradiol cleavage pathway and an addition of a C-1 unit from methionine to give rise to the terminal methyl group of the propyl side chain. These results are now consistent with those obtained for the C2- and C3-proline moieties found in anthramycin, tomaymycin and sibiromycin that also biosynthetically derived from tyrosine.
