2. Supplementary Text 2.1 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of Compound 1 Compound 1 was purified as yellowish white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 210 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR(500 and 125 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 1; ESI-HR-MS Calcd. for C 33 H 59 N 4 O 18 S + 831.4535 [M+H] +, found 831.3524. The molecular formula of 1 was established to be C 33 H 58 N 4 O 18 S by analysis of its HR-ESI-MS, 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra. The 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra of 1 indicated that the molecular has three amide carbon atoms, three methyl carbon atoms, six methylene carbon atoms and twenty one methine carbon atoms. The planar structure of 1 was established by detailed analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra ( 1 H, 13 C, DEPT, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison of the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data of 1 with those of lincomycin A and MSH 1-4 (Supplementary Table 1). The moieties A and B of 1 shared the similar NMR spectra with Lincomycin A and MSH, respectively. The major difference in moiety A compared with lincomycin A was the absence of N-methyl and S-methyl group signals. The absence of a S-methyl group signal and the obvious downfield shift of C3'' in 13 C NMR spectra (34.6 ppm in B moiety and 28.5 ppm in MSH) suggested the attachment of moiety B onto moiety A via a C-S bond linkage between C3'' and the sulfur atom. This S-linkage was further supported by HMBC couplings of H3'' (moiety B) to C1 (moiety A). The anomeric configuration of C1 (moiety A) of 1 was determined to be α-orientation, according to the observed coupling constant ( 3 J H,H = 5.6 Hz) similar to that in lincomycin A ( 3 J H,H = 5.8 Hz). The absolute configuration of 1 was suggested according to those of lincomycin A and MSH. 2.2 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of Compound 2 WWW.NATURE.COM/NATURE 5
Compound 2 was purified as yellowish white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 210 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR (500 and 125 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 2; ESI-HR-MS Calcd. for C 21 H 38 N 3 O 9 S + 508.2329 [M+H] +, found 508.2315. The molecular formula C 21 H 37 N 3 O 9 S was established by analysis of the ESI-HR-MS, 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra, which supported that 2 was the N-Acetyl-cysteine S-conjugate. The planar structure and absolute configuration of 2 were established by detailed analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra ( 1 H, 13 C, DEPT, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison of its 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data with those of 1 (Supplementary Table 2). 2.3 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of Compound 3 Compound 3 was purified as white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 253 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR (500 and 100 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 3; 31 P NMR (162 MHz, D 2 O) δ + -11.32 (d, 19.4 Hz), -13.09 (d, 20.6Hz); ESI-HR-MS Calcd. for C 18 H 31 N 6 O 16 P 2 649.1272 [M+H] +, found 649.1278. The molecular formula C 18 H 30 N 6 O 16 P 2 was established by analysis of the ESI-HR-MS and 13 C NMR spectra, which was consistent with the expectation that 3 was the GDP-octose. The planar structure and absolute configuration of 3 were established by detailed analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra ( 1 H, 13 C, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison of its 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data with those of 5 and GDP 5 (Supplementary Table 3).

2.4 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of Compound 4 Compound 4 was purified as yellowish white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 243 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR (500 and 125 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 4; ESI-HR-MS Calcd. for C 25 H 44 N 5 O 8 S + 574.2911 [M+H] +, found 574.2896. The molecular formula of 4 was established to be C 25 H 43 N 5 O 8 S by analysis of its ESI-HR-MS, 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra. The 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra of 4 indicated that the molecule has four quaternary carbon atoms (two carbonyls and two olefinic carbon atoms), eleven methine carbon atoms (including one olefinic carbon atoms), five methylene carbon atoms and three methyl carbon atoms. The 13 C NMR spectra of 4 showed only twenty three carbon signals, indicating that this chemical has three identical carbons, which were subsequently identified as methyl groups [δ H 3.2(9H, s)] attached to electron-withdrawing groups. The planar structure of 4 was established by detailed analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra ( 1 H, 13 C, DEPT, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison of the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data of 4 with those of lincomycin A and EGT 6 (Supplementary Table 4). The moieties A and B of 4 shared similar NMR spectra with Lincomycin A and EGT, respectively. The major difference in moiety A compared to Lincomycin A was the absence of signals for the N-methyl and S-methyl groups. The absence of a S-methyl group signal and the marked HMBC correlations of H1 (A moiety) to C2'' (B moiety) suggested the attachment of moiety B onto moiety A via a C-S bond between C2'' and the sulfur atom. The anomeric configuration of C1 (A moiety) of 4 was determined to be β-orientation, according to the observed coupling constant ( 3 J H,H = 9.3 Hz) larger than that in lincomycin A ( 3 J H,H = 5.8 Hz), and the presence of obvious NOESY correlations of H1to H3 and H5. The absolute configuration of 4 was suggested according to those of lincomycin A and EGT. 2.5 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of Compound 5 WWW.NATURE.COM/NATURE 7
Compound 5 was purified as yellowish white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 243 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR (500 and 125 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 5; ESI-HR-MS Calcd. for C 17 H 31 N 4 O 7 S + 435.1913 [M+H] +, found 435.1904. The molecular formula C 17 H 30 N 4 O 7 S was established by analysis of its ESI-HR-MS, 13 C NMR and DEPT spectral data. The 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra of 5 indicated that the molecule has three quaternary carbon atoms (one carbonyl and two olefinic carbon atoms), nine methine carbon atoms (including one olefinic carbon atom), one methylene carbon atom and two methyl carbon atoms. The planar structure of 5 was established by detailed analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra ( 1 H, 13 C, DEPT, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison of the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data of 5 with those of 4 (Supplementary Table 5). The major difference of 5 compared with 4 was the absence of NMR signals for PPL (moiety A). The anomeric configuration of C1 (moiety A) of 5 was determined to be β-orientation, according to the observed coupling constant ( 3 J H,H = 9.8 Hz) as that in 4 ( 3 J H,H = 9.3 Hz), and the presence of obvious NOESY correlations of H1 to H3 and H5. The absolute configuration of 5 was suggested according to those of lincomycin A and EGT. 2.6 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of Compound 6 Compound 6 was purified as yellowish white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 210 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR (500 and 125 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 6; ESI-HR-MS Calcd. for C 25 H 46 N 3 O 17 S + 692.2548 [M+H] +, found 692.2543. The molecular formula was established to WWW.NATURE.COM/NATURE 8
be C 25 H 45 N 3 O 17 S by analysis of its ESI-HR-MS, 13 C NMR and DEPT spectral data. The 13 C NMR and DEPT spectra of 6 indicated that the molecule has two amide carbon atoms, nineteen methine carbon atoms, two methylene carbon atom and two methyl carbon atoms. The planar structure of 6 was established by detailed analysis of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra ( 1 H, 13 C, DEPT, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison of the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data of 6 with those of 1 (Supplementary Table 6). The major difference of 6 compared with 1 was the absence of NMR signals for PPL (A moiety). The anomeric configuration of C1 (moiety A) of 6 was determined to be -orientation, according to the observed coupling constant ( 3 J H,H = 5.6 Hz) as the same as that of 1. The absolute configuration of 6 was suggested according to those of lincomycin A and MSH. 2.7 Physico-Chemical Properties and Structural Elucidation of PPL Compound PPL was purified as yellowish white amorphous solid: UV (H 2 O) λ max 210 nm; 1 H and 13 C NMR(400 and 100 MHz, respectively, D 2 O) see Supplementary Table 7; ESI-HR-MS Calcd. + for C 8 H 16 NO 2 158.1181 [M+H] +, found 158.1177.
