Heterologous expression of a unique biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) comprising a highly reducing polyketide synthase and stand-alone thioesterase genes in Aspergillus oryzae enabled us to isolate a novel 34-membered polyene macrolide, phaeospelide A (1). This is the first isolation of a fungal polyene macrolide and the first demonstration of fungal aliphatic macrolide biosynthetic machinery. In addition, sequence similarity network analysis demonstrated the existence of a large number of BGCs for novel fungal macrolides.
在米曲霉中异源表达一个独特的生物合成基因簇(BGC),其中包含一个高度还原的聚酮合酶和独立的硫酯酶基因,使我们能够分离到一种新型的 34 元聚烯大环内酯化合物,即黄皮孢菌素 A(1)。这是首次分离到真菌聚烯类大环内酯化合物,也是首次证明真菌脂肪族大环内酯类化合物的生物合成机制。此外,序列相似性网络分析表明存在大量新型真菌大环内酯化合物的 BGC。
