Popis: Oxazinomycin is a C-nucleoside natural product with antibacterial and antitumor activities. In addition to the characteristic C-glycosidic linkage shared with other C-nucleosides, oxazinomycin also features a structurally unusual 1,3-oxazine moiety, the biosynthesis of which had previously been unknown. Herein, complete in vitro reconstitution of the oxazinomycin biosynthetic pathway is described. Construction of the C-glycosidic bond between ribose 5-phosphate and an oxygen-labile pyridine heterocycle is catalyzed by the C-glycosidase OzmB and involves formation of an enzyme–substrate Schiff base intermediate. The DUF4243 family protein OzmD is shown to catalyze oxygen insertion and rearrangement of the pyridine C-nucleoside intermediate to generate the 1,3-oxazine moiety along with the elimination of cyanide. Spectroscopic analysis and mutagenesis studies indicate that OzmD is a novel nonheme iron-dependent enzyme in which the catalytic iron center is likely coordinated by four histidine residues. These results provide the first example of 1,3-oxazine biosynthesis catalyzed by an unprecedented iron-dependent mono-oxygenase.
