New hope for old bones: The plecomacrolide bafilomycin has been explored for decades as an anti-osteoporotic. However, its structural complexity has limited the synthesis of analogues. The cloning of the bafilomycin biosynthetic gene cluster from the environmental isolate Streptomyces lohii opens the door to the production of new analogues through bioengineering.
古老骨骼的新希望:普乐可霉素巴弗洛霉素作为一种抗骨质疏松药物已经探索了几十年。然而,其结构的复杂性限制了类似物的合成。从环境分离株洛氏链霉菌中克隆巴弗洛霉素生物合成基因簇为通过生物工程生产新类似物打开了大门。
