Glutamic acid is a carrier for hydrazine during the biosyntheses of fosfazinomycin and kinamycin

The natural products fosfazinomycin A and kinamycin D are structurally distinct except for a nitrogen-nitrogen (N-N) bond. Here, the authors show that fosfazinomycin and kinamycin share a common pathway for N-N bond formation that is different from pathways found for other natural products.
