Abstract:
The nucleotide sequence of the Streptomyces hygroscopicus gene encoding P-methyltransferase, catalyzing the formation of a carbon-phosphorus bond, involved in bialaphos biosynthesis, has been determined. The amino-acid sequence deduced from the nt sequence, shows homology with those of magnesium-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester oxidative cyclase (Mg-ProtoMe cyclase) of Rhodobacter capsulatus and the enzyme catalyzing the methylation of the aldehyde carbon of phosphonoacetaldehyde in fosfomycin biosynthesis.
