Add sugar…︁ Cloning and heterologous expression of the aranciamycin biosynthetic gene cluster revealed a new flexible glycosyltransferase, AraGT, which accepts different nucleotide-activated sugars (D-amicetose, L-rhodinose, L-rhamnose and L-axenose) The newly generated aranciamycin derivatives displayed antiproliferative activity against MaTu and MCF7 cells; this shows that the deoxysugar is important for anticancer activity.
