ABSTRACT
Diazofluorene compounds such as kinamycin and lomaiviticin feature unique molecular structures and compelling medicinal bioactivities. However, a complete understanding of the biosynthetic details for this family of natural products has yet to be fully elucidated. In addition, a lack of genetically and technically amenable production hosts has limited access to the full medicinal potential of these compounds. Here, we report the capture of the complete kinamycin gene cluster from Streptomyces galtieri Sgt26 by bacterial artificial chromosome cloning, confirmed by successful production of kinamycin in the heterologous host Streptomyces albus J1074. Sequence analysis and a series of gene deletion experiments revealed the boundary of the cluster, which spans 75 kb DNA. To probe the last step in biosynthesis, acetylation of kinamcyin F to kinamycin D, gene knockout, and complementation experiments identified a single gene product involved with final acetylation conversions. This study provides full genetic information for the kinamycin gene cluster from S. galtieri Sgt26 and establishes heterologous biosynthesis as a production platform for continued mechanistic assessment of compound formation and utilization.
