Validamycin A (1), an antifungal agent used widely as a crop protectant, is the main component of the validamycin complex produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus.[1, 2] The antifungal activity of 1 has been attributed to its core structure, validoxylamine A (4), which consists of two pseudosugar units, valienamine (7) and validamine (8)(Scheme 1). Commercially available validamycin usually contains~ 60% validamycin A (1),~ 15% validamycin B (2), and other minor analogues. In contrast to 1, the hydroxylated analogue 2 is significantly less active against fungal pathogens. Therefore, it is desirable to abolish the production of 2 while increasing the yield of 1. On the other hand, validamycin G (3), another hydroxylated analogue of 1, has great potential to be used as a direct source of valiolamine (10), the precursor of the antidiabetic drug voglibose (11). However, the production yield of 3 by S. hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus is extremely low (0.008% of the crude validamycins),[3] making it impractical to produce voglibose from this natural product. Efforts to control or improve the production of these hydroxylated validamycins have been hampered by the lack of knowledge of their biosynthesis.While the biosynthesis of 1 has been studied extensively, the modes of formation of the hydroxylated validamycins were not clearly understood. Early speculations suggested that the formation of 2 and 3 may involve hydroxylation of early cyclitol intermediates in the pathway.[4] However, no experimental data were available to support that notion. The identification of the biosynthetic gene clusters of validamycin in several strains of S. hygroscopicus, eg, S. hygroscopicus subsp. jinggangensis 5008 and S. hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus KCCM 11405 (IFO 12704),[5, 6] however, provides new opportunities to investigate the modes of formation of these compounds. Direct comparison of the former (the val cluster) and the latter (the vld cluster) has shown that both clusters share similar sets of genes necessary for the biosynthesis of validamycin A (Figure S1).[7] However, no candidate genes for the formation of 2 and 3 were identified. To this end, we first investigated two genes within the val cluster (valE and valJ) from S. hygroscopicus subsp. jinggangensis 5008 that may be involved in the formation of hydroxylated validamycins. ValE and ValJ are homologous enzymes (67% identity) that show high identity to αketoglutarate/Fe (II)-dependent dioxygenases, non-heme enzymes that catalyze a variety of oxidative transformations. This family of enzymes catalyze a diverse array of
