Sysname
dTDP-2-deoxy-beta-L-fucose:7-(alpha-L-rhodosaminyl)aklavinone 2-deoxy-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
dTDP-2-deoxy-beta-L-fucose + aclacinomycin T = dTDP + aclacinomycin S [RN:
R09332 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate

C18636 ];
aclacinomycin T [CPD:
C18634 ]
Product
Comment
The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces galilaeus, is involved in the biosynthesis of other aclacinomycins. Also acts on idarubicin. It will slowly add a second 2-deoxy-L-fucose unit to aclacinomycin S in vitro.
