Gentamicin C complex is a mixture of aminoglycoside antibiotics used worldwide to treat severe Gram-negative bacterial infections. Despite its clinical importance, the enzymology of its biosynthetic pathway has remained obscure. We report here insights into the four enzyme-catalyzed steps that lead from the first-formed pseudotrisaccharide gentamicin A2 to gentamicin X2, the last common intermediate for all components of the C complex. We have used both targeted mutations of individual genes and reconstitution of portions of the pathway in vitro to show that the secondary alcohol function at C-3″ of A2 is first converted to an amine, catalyzed by the tandem operation of oxidoreductase GenD2 and transaminase GenS2. The amine is then specifically methylated by the S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent N-methyltransferase GenN to form gentamicin A. Finally, C-methylation at C-4″ to form gentamicin X2 is catalyzed by the radical SAM-dependent and cobalamin-dependent enzyme GenD1. Key portion of the pathway to a globally used antibiotic is defined Four enzymes convert gentamicin A2 into gentamicin X2 GenD1 is an unusual cobalamin- and radical SAM-dependent methyltransferase All five components of the clinically valuable antibiotic gentamicin C complex derive from the pseudotrisaccharide gentamicin X2. Huang et al. use gene knockouts and in vitro reconstitution to identify the four pathway enzymes catalyzing the final steps leading to this key intermediate.
