EC 2.4.1.316

Accepted name: tylactone mycaminosyltransferase

Reaction: tylactone + dTDP-α-D-mycaminose = dTDP + 5-O-β-D-mycaminosyltylactone

Glossary: tylactone = (4R,5S,6S,7S,9R,11E,13E,15S,16R)-7,16-diethyl-4,6-dihydroxy-5,9,13,15-tetramethyloxacyclohexadeca-11,13-diene-2,10-dione
dTDP-α-D-mycaminose = dTDP-3,6-dideoxy-3-dimethylamino-α-D-glucopyranose

Other name(s): tylM2 (gene name)

Systematic name: dTDP-α-D-mycaminose:tylactone 5-O-β-D-mycaminosyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme participates in the biosynthetic pathway of the macrolide antibiotic tylosin, which is produced by several species of Streptomyces bacteria. Activity is significantly enhanced by the presence of an accessory protein encoded by the tylM3 gene.
