During the fermentation of Streptomyces hygroscopicus TL01 to produce validamycin A (18 g/L), a considerable amount of an intermediate validoxylamine A (4.0 g/L) is accumulated. Chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis of validamycin A was not observed during the fermentation process. Over-expression of glucosyltransferase ValG in TL01 did not increase the efficiency of glycosylation. However, increased validamycin A and decreased validoxylamine A production were observed in both the cell-free extract and fermentation broth of TL01 supplemented with a high concentration of UDP-glucose. The enzymatic activity of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (Ugp) in TL01, which catalyzes UDP-glucose formation, was found to be much lower than the activities of other enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of UDP-glucose and the glucosyltransferase ValG. An ugp gene was cloned from S. hygroscopicus 5008 and verified to code for Ugp. In TL01 with an extra copy of ugp, the transcription of ugp was increased for 1.5 times, and Ugp activity was increased by 100%. Moreover, 22 g/L validamycin A and 2.5 g/L validoxylamine A were produced, and the validamycin A/validoxylamine A ratio was increased from 3.15 in TL01 to 5.75. These data prove that validamycin A biosynthesis is limited by the supply of UDP-glucose, which can be relieved by Ugp over-expression.
