The Streptomyces mycarofaciens mdmB gene encodes a 3-O-acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of acetyl and propionyl groups to position 3 of the lactone ring in 16-member macrolide antibiotics like midecamycin and spiramycin. A putative O-methyltransferase gene (mdmC) is immediately downstream of mdmB, and both of these genes are closely linked to the mdmA midecamycin resistance gene.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007933	Leucomycins	An antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces kitasatoensis. The complex consists of a mixture of at least eight biologically active components, A1 and A3 to A9. Leucomycins have both antibacterial and antimycoplasmal activities.
D008969	Molecular Sequence Data	Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D013302	Streptomyces	A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
D016415	Sequence Alignment	The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
