Our explorations of glycosyltransferase ElmGT from Streptomyces olivaceus Tü 2353, which shows an interesting flexibility regarding its sugar donor substrate, were extended toward various previously unexplored sugar co-substrates. The studies revealed that ElmGT, which normally transfers L-rhamnose to 8-demethyltetracenomycin C as a crucial biosynthetic step in elloramycin biosynthesis, is also able to process an activated non-deoxygenated sugar, NDP-D-glucose, as well as NDP-L-digitoxose, which is the first example of an NDP-L-sugar co-substrate of ElmGT possessing an axial 3-OH group. The structures of the resulting novel elloramycin analogues of these experiments, 8-demethyl-8-L-digitoxosyltetracenomycin C (4) and 8-demethyl-8-D-glucosyltetracenomycin C (7), were elucidated mainly by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and by mass spectrometry.
