Biosynthesis of Akaeolide and Lorneic Acids and Annotation of Type I Polyketide Synthase Gene Clusters in the Genome of Streptomyces sp. NPS554

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2015
The incorporation pattern of biosynthetic precursors into two structurally unique polyketides, akaeolide and lorneic acid A, was elucidated by feeding experiments with 13C-labeled precursors.

Recent Advances in Search of Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Fungi Triggered by Chemical Epigenetic Modifiers

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
Genomic analysis has demonstrated that many fungi possess essential gene clusters for the production of previously unobserved secondary metabolites; however, these genes are normally reduced or silenced under most conditions.

Identification and analysis of the resorcinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster [PDF]

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2015
Abstract Resorcinomycin (1) is composed of a nonproteinogenic amino acid, (S)-2-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylphenyl)-2-guanidinoacetic acid (2), and glycine. A biosynthetic gene cluster was identified in a genome database of Streptoverticillium roseoverticillatum by searching for orthologs of the genes responsible for biosynthesis of ...

Exploring the biosynthetic gene clusters in Brevibacterium: a comparative genomic analysis of diversity and distribution

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Exploring Brevibacterium strains from various ecosystems may lead to the discovery of new antibiotic-producing strains. Brevibacterium sp. H-BE7, a strain isolated from marine sediments from Northern Patagonia, Chile, had its genome sequenced to study ...

Cloning and characterization of the biosynthetic gene cluster for kutznerides [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Kutznerides, actinomycete-derived cyclic depsipetides, consist of six nonproteinogenic residues, including a highly oxygenated tricyclic hexahydropyrroloindole, a chlorinated piperazic acid, 2-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-glycine, a β-branched-hydroxy acid, and 3-hydroxy glutamic acid, for which biosynthetic logic has not been elucidated.

Deletion of a hybrid NRPS‐T1PKS biosynthetic gene cluster via Latour gene knockout system in Saccharopolyspora pogona and its effect on butenyl‐spinosyn biosynthesis and growth development

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary Butenyl‐spinosyn, a promising biopesticide produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona, exhibits stronger insecticidal activity and a broader pesticidal spectrum. However, its titre in the wild‐type S.

The erythromycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Aeromicrobium erythreum

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2004
The erythromycin-biosynthetic (ery) gene cluster of Aeromicrobium erythreum was cloned and characterized. The 55.4-kb cluster contains 25 ery genes. Homologues were found for each gene in the previously characterized ery gene cluster from Saccharopolyspora erythraea. In addition, four new predicted ery genes were identified.

Biosynthetic gene clusters and the evolution of fungal chemodiversity

open access: yesNatural Product Reports, 2020
This highlight synthesizes knowledge of the molecular evolutionary processes – functional divergence, horizontal transfer, and de novo assembly – that govern biosynthetic gene cluster diversification and the generation of chemodiversity in fungi.
