The cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) nonproducing strain, Aspergillus oryzae RIB 40, does not biosynthesize cyclo-acetoacetyl-L-tryptophan (cAATrp) due to a truncation in the responsible PKS-NRPS gene. We found that RIB 40 converted cAATrp to 2-oxocyclopiazonic acid, the final product of CPA biosynthesis in A. oryzae. This indicates that the CPA biosynthesis gene cluster, except for the PKS-NRPS gene, is functional in RIB 40.
不产环匹阿尼酸(CPA)的米曲霉RIB 40菌株,由于负责的聚酮合酶-非核糖体肽合成酶(PKS-NRPS)基因发生截短,无法生物合成环乙酰乙酰-L-色氨酸(cAATrp)。我们发现,RIB 40可将cAATrp转化为2-氧代环匹阿尼酸,这是米曲霉中CPA生物合成的终产物。这表明,除PKS-NRPS基因外,CPA生物合成基因簇在RIB 40中具有功能。
