Genetic dissection of the biosynthetic route to gentamicin A2 by heterologous expression of its minimal gene set. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105 (2008) 8399-8404. Using heterologous expression of different combinations of putative 2-deoxystreptamine biosynthetic genes the authors discovered a subset of genes that is responsible for the biosynthesis of the core aminocyclitol of gentamicin. This in vivo study provided direct evidence for the biosynthetic pathway to gentamicin, allowing the unequivocal assignment of the biochemical role of each gene products.
