The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces thioluteus, participates in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic aureothin. An orthologous enzyme in the bacteria Streptomyces orinoci and Streptomyces spectabilis catalyses a similar reaction in the biosynthesis of spectinabilin.
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Streptomyces thioluteus
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces thioluteus, participates in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic aureothin. An orthologous enzyme in the bacteria Streptomyces orinoci and Streptomyces spectabilis catalyses a similar reaction in the biosynthesis of spectinabilin.
in aureothin biosynthesis, methyltransferase AurI transfers the SAM methyl onto the alpha-hydroxyl group of the pyrone ring of demethylluteothin i.e. nordeoxyaureothin, to yield luteothin, i.e. deoxyaureothin
