Novel dTDP-l-Rhamnose Synthetic Enzymes (RmlABCD) From Saccharothrix syringae CGMCC 4.1716 for One-Pot Four-Enzyme Synthesis of dTDP-l-Rhamnose.

ABSTRACT: Deoxythymidine diphospho-l-rhamnose (dTDP-l-rhamnose) is used by prokaryotic rhamnosyltransferases as the glycosyl donor for the synthesis of rhamnose-containing polysaccharides and compounds that have potential in pharmaceutical development, so its efficient synthesis has attracted much attention. In this study, we successfully cloned four putative dTDP-l-rhamnose synthesis genes Ss-rmlABCD from Saccharothrix syringae CGMCC 4.1716 and expressed them in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzymes, Ss-RmlA (glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase), Ss-RmlB (dTDP-d-glucose 4,6-dehydratase), Ss-RmlC (dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-glucose 3,5-epimerase), and Ss-RmlD (dTDP-4-keto-rhamnose reductase), were confirmed to catalyze the sequential formation of dTDP-l-rhamnose from deoxythy
