This enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes. The enzyme is a glycosylase, and acts in the reverse direction to that shown. It has a wide substrate range, and was shown to glycosylate several substrates, including the staurosporine aglycone, EJG-III-108A, J-104303, 6-N-methyl-arcyriaflavin C and indolo-[2,3-a]-carbazole [1,2].

This enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes.

enzyme is part of the biosynthetic gene cluster for synthesis of rebeccamycin in Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes ATCC 39243. Besides N-glycosyltransferase RebG, genes encode a monooxygenase RebC, methyltransferase RebM, transcriptional activator RebR, and halogenase RebH. A RebG gene disruption mutant produces the rebeccamycin aglycone but not rebeccamycin itself
