Overexpression of the pathway-specific positive regulator gene mas13 activated the cryptic gene cluster mas, resulting in the isolation of nine novel pentaketide ansamycins, namely, microansamycins A-I (1-9). These results not only revealed a biosynthetic gene cluster of pentaketide ansamycins for the first time but also presented an unprecedented scenario of diverse post-PKS modifications in ansamycin biosynthesis.
通路特异性正调控基因 mas13 的过表达激活了隐秘基因簇 mas，从而分离到了 9 个新型五聚酮安莎霉素，即 microansamycins A-I（1-9）。这些结果不仅首次揭示了五聚酮安莎霉素的生物合成基因簇，而且呈现了安莎霉素生物合成中前所未有的多样的 PKS 后修饰情景。
