Resequencing of the gilGT gene, which encodes a putative glycosyltransferase (GT) that is 495 amino acids (aa) long, from the Streptomyces griseoflavus Go3592 gilvocarcin V (GV) gene cluster, revealed that the previously reported gilGT indeed contains two genes. These are the large gilGT, which encodes the C-glycosyltransferase GilGT (379 aa), and the smaller gilV gene, which encodes an enzyme of unknown function (116 aa). The gene gilV is located immediately upstream of gilGT in the GV gene cluster. In-frame deletion of gilGT created a mutant that accumulated defucogilvocarcin E (defuco-GE). The results proves the function of GilGT as a C-glycosyltransferase. Deletion of gilOIII, which is located immediately downstream of gilGT, led to a mutant that accumulated gilvocarcin E (GE). This confirms that the corresponding P450 enzyme, GilOIII, is involved in the vinyl-group formation of GV. Cross-feeding experiments in which GE, defuco-GE, and defucogilvocarcin V (defuco-GV) were fed to an early blocked mutant of the GV biosynthetic pathway, showed that neither GE nor any of the defuco- compounds was an intermediate of the pathway.
