Abstract
The present invention relates to hybrid glycosylated products, and in particular, to natural products such as polyketides and glycopeptides, and to processes for their preparation. The invention is particularly concerned with recombinant cells in which a cloned microbial glycosyltransferase can be conveniently screened for its ability to generate specific glycosylated derivatives when supplied with polyketide, peptide, or polyketide-peptides as substrates. The invention demonstrates that cloned glycosyltransferases when rapidly screened for their ability to attach a range of activated sugars to a range of exogenously supplied or endogenously generated aglycone templates, show a surprising flexibility towards both aglycone and sugar substrates, and that this process allows the production of glycosylated polyketides in good yield. This overcomes the problem not only of supplying novel sugar attachments to individual polyketides, including polyketides altered by genetic engineering, but also of increasing the diversity of polyketide libraries by combinatorial attachment of sugars.
