Medermycin shows the same trans (3S,15R) configuration as actinorhodin in the pyran ring crucial for its bioactivity. One medermycin biosynthetic gene, ined-ORF12, is assumed to be involved in the stereochemical control at C-3. Functional complementation suggested that it plays a similar role as actVI-ORFI previously proved to determine the stereospecificity at C-3 in actinorhodin biosynthesis. Co-expression of med-ORF12 with actinorhodin early biosynthetic genes further demonstrated that med-ORF12 encodes a ketoreductase responsible for the enantioselective reduction at C-3 in the formation of the pyran ring.
