Abstract :

Fungal polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) hybrids have been characterized to produce polyketide-amino acid compounds with striking structural features and biological activities. In this study, a PKS-NRPS hybrid enzyme was found in Aspergillus terreus by genome mining. By activating the cluster-specific transcriptional regulator, this cryptic PKS-NRPS gene cluster was successfully activated and ten products (1-10) were identified as pyranterreones. Using functional genetics, bioinformatics, and isotope-labeling feeding analysis, the biosynthetic pathway was revealed. This is the second PKS-NRPS hybrid identified in A. terreus.
