The heterologous expression oftylM3 andmydC, two homologous genes of previously unknown function, along with genes encoding their respective partner glycosyltransferases,tylM2 andmycB, and the necessary sugar biosynthesis genes significantly enhances the glycosyltransferase activity in the engineeredStreptomyces venezuelaehost in which the native glycosyltransferase,desVII, has been inactivated. Both glycosyltransferases accept the endogenous 12-membered macrolide, 10-deoxymethynolide, or the exogenously fed 16-membered macrolide, tylactone. Five new compounds were generated using this expression system. This work suggests that the 13 other known TylM3/MydC/DesVIII homologues found in macrolide and anthracycline antibiotic clusters likely function as glycosyltransferase auxiliary proteins as well. These findings will greatly assist endeavors to generate new natural products in these pathways in a combinatorial fashion.
