    Abstract

    Mg motors: We characterized the in vitro function of MycE and MycF, two O-methyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of mycinamicin antibiotics. Each enzyme was confirmed to be an S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent deoxysugar methyltransferase. Their optimal activities require the presence of Mg(2+). With the reconstituted in vitro assays, the order of mycinamicin VI-->III-->IV in the post-PKS (polyketide synthase) tailoring pathway of mycinamicin was unambiguously determined.
