We recently reported a novel class of amide bond forming enzymes (peptide ligases) involved in the biosynthesis of pheganomycins, resorcinomycins and ketomemicins. This class of enzymes exclusively utilizesNα-amidino amino acids as the N-terminal substrate. In this Letter, we characterized three new amidinotransferases involved in the biosynthesis of ketomemicins and showed thatl-arginine was the amidino-acceptor of amidinotransferases in both the Micromonospora sp. and Streptomycesmobaraensisclusters, while theSalinispora tropicaenzyme recognizedl-valine. Unexpectedly, theS. tropicaenzyme accepted several different amino acids as amidino acceptors in addition tol-valine. Accordingly, we re-investigated the specific metabolites governed by the gene cluster ofS. tropicaand identified several minor congeners of ketomemicin C with different N-terminal amidino-amino acids. These results indicate that the amidinotransferase ofS. tropicais promiscuous and could be useful to generate new ketomemicin-type natural products.
