Identification of the Biosynthetic Gene Cluster of New Piperazic Acid-Containing Lipopeptides with Cytotoxic Activity in the Genome of Marine Streptomyces PHM034

Metabolites, 2023
Three novel lipopeptides, PM130391 (1), PM130392 (2), and PM140293 (3) were obtained from cultures of Streptomyces tuirus PHM034 isolated from a marine sediment.

Dissecting and Exploiting Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases

Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2004
A large number of therapeutically useful cyclic and linear peptides of bacteria or fungal origin are synthesized via a template-directed, nucleic-acid-independent nonribosomal mechanism. This process is carried out by mega-enzymes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs).

Sfp-type PPTase inactivation promotes bacterial biofilm formation and ability to enhance wheat drought tolerance

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Paenibacillus polymyxa is a common soil bacterium with broad range of practical applications. An important group of secondary metabolites in P. polymyxa are nonribosomal peptide and polyketide derived metabolites (NRP/PK).

Antibacterial Property of a Coral-Associated Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea Against Shrimp Pathogenic Vibrio harveyi (In Vitro Study)

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2005
A coral-associated bacterium was successfully screened for secondary metabolites production based on PCR amplification of the nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene and was identified as closely related to Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea based on its 16S ...

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Mining microbial genomes for new natural products and biosynthetic pathways [PDF]

, 2008
Analyses of microbial genome sequences have revealed numerous examples of ‘cryptic’ or ‘orphan’ biosynthetic gene clusters, with the potential to direct the production of novel, structurally complex natural products.

Molecular basis for depsipeptide HDAC inhibitor combinatorial biosynthesis

Nature Communications
Polyketides and nonribosomal peptides are important natural product classes with wide-ranging medical and agricultural applications. The analogous enzymatic logic employed by bacterial modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) and nonribosomal peptide ...

Berberine bridge enzyme-like oxidase-catalysed double bond isomerization acts as the pathway switch in cytochalasin synthesis

Nature Communications, 2022
Cytochalasans are a large family of fungal polyketide-nonribosomal peptide hybrid natural products that exhibit important pharmaceutical activities, but the mechanism of conversion of the monocytochalasans to the polycyclic, fused analogues is unclear ...

Unveiling the Taxonomic Diversity and Unprecedented Biosynthetic Treasure of the Phylum Myxococcota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural products remain vital sources of therapeutics, and the phylum Myxococcota constitutes an especially rich reservoir for them. Based on decades of microbiological efforts, we present 154 new Myxococcota genomes and revise taxonomy quadrupling the number of families and genera.
