Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Primary metabolic precursors for K-26, a naturally occurring tripeptide phosphonic acid from Actinomyces sp. K-26, are investigated by heavy-atom isotope labeled substrate incorporation experiments. A highly sensitive selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based method for isotopic incorporation estimation in natural products is reported. The incorporation of heavy-atom isotope labeled tyrosine compounds into the (R)-1-amino-2-(4- hydroxyphenyl)-ethylphosphonic acid moiety of compound K-26 suggests a new mechanism of biosynthesis of phosphonate functionality in natural products.
