Abstract
Covering: up to 2024.For many years, the value of complex polyketides lay in their medical properties, including their antibiotic and antifungal activities, with little consideration paid to their native functions. However, more recent evidence gathered from the study of inter-organismal interactions has revealed the influence of these metabolites upon the ecological adaptation and distribution of their hosts, as well as their modes of communication. The increasing number of sequenced genomes and associated transcriptomes has also unveiled the widespread occurrence of the underlying biosynthetic enzymes across all kingdoms of life, and the important contributions they make to physiological events specific to each organism. This review depicts the diversity of roles fulfilled by type I polyketides, particularly in light of studies carried out during the last decade, providing an initial overall picture of their diverse functions.
多年来,复杂多酮化合物的价值在于其医疗特性,包括抗生素和抗真菌活性,而很少考虑其本地功能。然而,最近从生物体间相互作用研究中收集到的证据显示,这些代谢物对宿主的生态适应性和分布,以及它们的交流模式都有影响。基因组和相关转录组测序数量的不断增加也揭示了底层生物合成酶广泛存在于生命的各个领域,以及它们对每种生物特有的生理事件的重要贡献。本综述描绘了 I 型多酮类化合物所发挥的多种作用,特别是根据过去十年中开展的研究,对它们的各种功能进行了初步的整体描述。
期刊介绍:
Natural Product Reports (NPR) serves as a pivotal critical review journal propelling advancements in all facets of natural products research, encompassing isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity, and synthesis.
With a broad scope, NPR extends its influence into the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic, and chemical biology communities. Covering areas such as enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, carbohydrates, primary and secondary metabolism, and analytical techniques, the journal provides insightful articles focusing on key developments shaping the field, rather than offering exhaustive overviews of all results.
NPR encourages authors to infuse their perspectives on developments, trends, and future directions, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas within the natural products research community.
