Multiplexed mobilization and expression of biosynthetic gene clusters
Efficient mobilization and expression of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) into heterologous hosts is needed for microbial natural products discovery. Here, the authors improve the CONKAT-seq strategy by simultaneously capturing the BCGs into a single ...

The Biosynthetic Gene Clusters of Aminocoumarin Antibiotics [PDF]
Plants and microorganisms are the most important sources of secondary metabolites in nature. For research in the functional genomics of secondary metabolism, and for the biotechnological application of such research by genetic engineering and combinatorial biosynthesis, most microorganisms offer a unique advantage to the researcher: the biosynthetic ...

Sequence analysis of porothramycin biosynthetic gene cluster [PDF]
The biosynthetic gene cluster of porothramycin, a sequence-selective DNA alkylating compound, was identified in the genome of producing strain Streptomyces albus subsp. albus (ATCC 39897) and sequentially characterized. A 39.7 kb long DNA region contains 27 putative genes, 18 of them revealing high similarity with homologous genes from biosynthetic ...

BiG-FAM: the biosynthetic gene cluster families database [PDF]
AbstractComputational analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has revolutionized natural product discovery by enabling the rapid investigation of secondary metabolic potential within microbial genome sequences. Grouping homologous BGCs into Gene Cluster Families (GCFs) facilitates mapping their architectural and taxonomic diversity and provides ...

Chromatin-level regulation of biosynthetic gene clusters [PDF]
Loss-of-function Aspergillus nidulans CclA, a Bre2 ortholog involved in histone H3 lysine 4 methylation, activated the expression of cryptic secondary metabolite clusters in A. nidulans. One new cluster generated monodictyphenone, emodin and emodin derivatives, whereas a second encoded two anti-osteoporosis polyketides, F9775A and F9775B.
