Determination of the Protein-Protein Interactions within Acyl Carrier Protein (MmcB)-Dependent Modifications in the Biosynthesis of Mitomycin

Mitomycin has a unique chemical structure and contains densely assembled functionalities with extraordinary antitumor activity. The previously proposed mitomycin C biosynthetic pathway has caused great attention to decipher the enzymatic mechanisms for assembling the pharmaceutically unprecedented c...

description Mitomycin has a unique chemical structure and contains densely assembled functionalities with extraordinary antitumor activity. The previously proposed mitomycin C biosynthetic pathway has caused great attention to decipher the enzymatic mechanisms for assembling the pharmaceutically unprecedented chemical scaffold. Herein, we focused on the determination of acyl carrier protein (ACP)-dependent modification steps and identification of the protein–protein interactions between MmcB (ACP) with the partners in the early-stage biosynthesis of mitomycin C. Based on the initial genetic manipulation consisting of gene disruption and complementation experiments, genes <i>mitE</i>, <i>mmcB</i>, <i>mitB,</i> and <i>mitF</i> were identified as the essential functional genes in the mitomycin C biosynthesis, respectively. Further integration of biochemical analysis elucidated that MitE catalyzed CoA ligation of 3-amino-5-hydroxy-bezonic acid (AHBA), MmcB-tethered AHBA triggered the biosynthesis of mitomycin C, and both MitB and MitF were MmcB-dependent tailoring enzymes involved in the assembly of mitosane.
