physiological function
coexpression of glycosyltransferase DesVII and its auxiliary partner DesVIII in a Saccharopolyspora erythraea EryBV deletion mutant leads to an increased erythromycin A yield by 15% in comparison to Saccharopolyspora erythraea wild-type. DesVII/DesVIII replaced EryCIII to upload D-desosamine to C5 position of 3-O-mycarosyl erythronolide B and also in vivo attache L-mycarose, not D-desosamine to C3 position of erythronolide B with a higher activity than EryBV. Expression of DesVII in EryCIII and EryBV-CIII mutant strains partially restores the erythromycin A production, however, no erythromycin A is detected while DesVII is expressed in the EryBV mutant strain

potential use to make unnatural macrolides for use as antibacterial
medicine
-
the activated enzyme is capable of transferring an alternative unnatural sugar donor. Because the desosamine sugar contacts the 50S subunit of ribosome, the discovery that an unnatural sugar can be transferred has implications for the synthesis of new erythromycin derivatives with improved properties. Reconstitute of the activity of EryCIII in vitro for the synthesis of unnatural macrolides
