Metabolite Identification
Common NameOxetanocin
DescriptionOxetanocin is a member of the nucleoside chemical class, specifically characterized by its oxetane moiety. This compound is involved in the biosynthesis of oxetane nucleosides, such as oxetanocin A and albucidin, through pathways catalyzed by B12-dependent radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzymes, notably AlsB and OxsB (PMID:40643284 ). Oxetanocin undergoes nonenzymatic decomposition but can be converted to oxetanocin A aldehyde phosphate or albucidin phosphate in the presence of specific enzymes, thereby completing the biosynthetic pathways for these compounds (PMID:40643284 ). The total synthesis of oxetanocin A has been achieved, highlighting its significance as an antiviral natural product (PMID:38011311 ). OxsB catalyzes the oxidative ring contraction of 2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-phosphate to form the oxetane-containing precursor of oxetanocin A phosphate (PMID:36719327 ). While the biosynthesis of oxetanocin A is well-documented, the pathways for albucidin remain less understood (PMID:36064953 ). Oxetanocin A, an oxetanosyl N-glycoside nucleoside, was first isolated from Bacillus megaterium in 1986, further emphasizing its relevance in natural product chemistry (PMID:36054994 ).
