Abstract
A highly reducing polyketide synthase (HRPKS) gene cluster from the genome of Calcarisporium arbuscula was identified through genome mining. Heterologous expression of this cluster led to the production of four new α-pyrone compounds, calcapyrones A (1) and B (2), along with their biosynthetic intermediates calcapyrones C (3) and D (4). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic experiments, and the absolute configurations of the 7,8-diol moieties in 1 and 2 were assigned using Snatzke’s method. The biosynthetic pathway of 1 and 2 was established through in vivo and in vitro experiments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
