The biosynthetic gene cluster of FK228, an FDA-approved anticancer natural product, was identified and sequenced previously. The genetic organization of this gene cluster has now been delineated through systematic gene deletion and transcriptional analysis. As a result, the gene cluster is redefined to contain 12 genes: depA through depJ, depM, and a newly identified pathway regulatory gene, depR.
先前已经鉴定并测序了 FDA 批准的抗癌天然产物 FK228 的生物合成基因簇。通过系统的基因缺失和转录分析,现已确定该基因簇的遗传结构。结果表明,该基因簇重新定义为包含 12 个基因:depA 到 depJ、depM 和一个新鉴定的途径调节基因 depR。
