2′-Amino-2′-deoxyadenosine and 2′-chloro-2′-deoxycoformycin (2′-CldCF) are two nucleoside antibiotics produced byActinomadura. The biosynthesis of these two nucleoside antibiotics has been studied by the addition of [U-14C]adenosine with or without unlabeled adenine to cultures ofActinomadura. By this experimental approach, it is possible to demonstrate that adenosine is the direct precursor for the biosynthesis of 2′-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine and 2′-CldCF. These conclusions are based on the observation that the percentage distribution of14C in the aglyconic and pentofuranosyl moieties of 2′-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine and 2′-CldCF were similar to the distribution of14C in the adenine and ribosyl moieties of the [U-14C]adenosine (i.e., 48:52) added to cultures ofActinomadura. Experimentally, the percentage distribution of14C in the (i) adenine: 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-ribofuranose of 2′-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine is 51:49; (ii) 8-(R)-3,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]-[1,3-diazepin-8-o1]:2-chloro-2-deoxy-β-d-ribofuranose of 2′-CldCF is 45:55; and (iii) adenine:ribose of the adenosine isolated from the RNA ofActinomadurais 42:58. Further proof that adenosine is the direct precursor for the biosynthesis 2′-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine and 2′-CldCF was demonstrated by the addition of 75 μmol of unlabeled adenine together with [U-14C]adenosine to nucleoside-producing cultures ofActinomadura. The percentage distribution of14C in the aglycon and the sugar moieties of 2′-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine and 2′-CldCF were 46:54 and 47:53, respectively; the percentage distribution of14C in the adenine and ribose moieties of the adenosine isolated from the RNA ofActinomadurawas 51:49. These data show that the hydroxyl on C-2′ of the ribosyl moiety of adenosine undergoes a replacement by a 2′-amino or a 2′-chloro group to form 2′-amino-2′-deoxyadenosine or 2′-CldCF with retention of stereconfiguration at C-2′. Finally,Actinomaduracan utilize inorganic chloride from the medium as demonstrated by the isolation of [36Cl]2′-CldCF following the addition of [36Cl]chloride to the culture medium. Mechanisms for the regioselective modification of the C-2′ hydroxyl group and stereospecific insertion of the amino and chloro groups are discussed.
