Abstract

3′-O-β-Glucosyl-4′,5′-didehydro-5′-deoxyadenosine 13 is identified as a natural product of Streptomyces calvus and Streptomyces virens. It is also generated in vitro by direct β-glucosylation of 4′,5′-didehydro-5′-deoxyadenosine 12 with the enzyme NucGT. The intact incorporation of oxygen-18 and deuterium isotopes from (±)[1-18O,1-2H2]-glycerol 14 into C-5′ of nucleocidin 1 and its related metabolites precludes 3′-O-β-glucosyl-4′,5′-didehydro-5′-deoxyadenosine 13 as a biosynthetic precursor to nucleocidin 1.
