Reengineering and Discovery of Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases

open access: yes, 2010
Nonribosomal peptides are an important class of natural products including the life-saving antibiotics penicillin and vancomycin and the deadly microcystins and cereulide. This important category of natural products is thus a focus of many research labs

A genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system enables efficient genetic engineering in Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
We developed a genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system for Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8, which enables precise deletion or replacement of DNA fragments ranging from 379 to 45,168 bp, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Application of this tool for the dynamic regulation of fabclavine‐8 biosynthesis resulted in a 1.90‐fold increase in production ...

Aspergillus hancockii sp. nov., a biosynthetically talented fungus endemic to southeastern Australian soils.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Aspergillus hancockii sp. nov., classified in Aspergillus subgenus Circumdati section Flavi, was originally isolated from soil in peanut fields near Kumbia, in the South Burnett region of southeast Queensland, Australia, and has since been found ...

Kineochelins—A New Group of Siderophores From an Antarctic Bacterium

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
Genome‐guided analysis of an Antarctic Actinokineospora strain led to the discovery of kineochelins, a new group of siderophores involved in iron sequestration and microbial competition. Kineochelin production inhibits co‐occurring bacteria and clinically relevant yeasts, highlighting Antarctic microorganisms as promising sources of bioactive natural ...

Naphthyridinomycin Biosynthesis Revealing the Use of Leader Peptide to Guide Nonribosomal Peptide Assembly

open access: yes, 2016
Analysis of naphthyridinomycin gene cluster revealed that this antibiotic is generated by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) machinery. However, four modules encoded by two genes do not correspond with the structural units in the final product ...

Draft genome sequence of a human-associated isolate of Haloferax alexandrinus strain Arc-hr, an extremely halophilic archaea

open access: yesNew Microbes and New Infections, 2017
We report the draft genome sequence of Haloferax alexandrinus strain Arc-hr (CSUR P798), isolated from the human gut of a 10-year-old Amazonian individual. Its 3 893 626 bp genome exhibits a 66.00% GC content.

Not always an innocent bystander : the impact of stabilised phosphopantetheine moieties when studying nonribosomal peptide biosynthesis

open access: yes, 2023
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases produce many important peptide natural products and are centred around carrier proteins (CPs) that deliver intermediates to various catalytic domains.

Distinct roles for intra- and extracellular siderophores during Aspergillus fumigatus infection.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2007
Siderophore biosynthesis by the highly lethal mould Aspergillus fumigatus is essential for virulence, but non-existent in humans, presenting a rare opportunity to strategize therapeutically against this pathogen.

Reprogramming Promiscuous Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases for Production of Specific Peptides

open access: yes, 2019
Pairs of docking domains (DDs) mediate the selective interations between adjacent nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) to form defined protein–protein interactions resulting in defined peptide sequences.
