摘要:
The invention relates to isolated polypeptides involved in lipopeptide biosynthesis and polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides. In particular, the isolated polypeptide may be an acyl-specific C-domain, an adenylating enzyme, or an acyl carrier. The invention also relates to methods for detecting a polypeptide involved in lipopeptide biosynthesis or a polynucleotide encoding such a polypeptide, as well as relevant useful computer readable medium and computer systems.

Genes and proteins involved in the biosynthesis of lipopeptides by microorganisms, in particular the nucleic acids forming the biosynthetic locus for the A54145 lipopeptide from Streptomyces fradiae and the A54145-like lipopeptide from Streptomyces refuineus. These nucleic acids can be used to make expression constructs and transformed host cells for the production of lipopeptides. The genes and proteins allow direct manipulation of lipopeptides and related chemical structures via chemical engineering of the proteins involved in the biosynthesis of A54145.

Genes and proteins involved in the biosynthesis of macrolides by microorganisms, in particular the nucleic acids forming the biosynthetic locus for the 16-member macrolide rosaramicin from Micromonospora carbonacea. These nucleic acids can be used to make expression constructs and transformed host cells for the production of rosaramicin. The genes and proteins allow direct manipulation of macrolides and related chemical structures via chemical engineering of the proteins involved in the biosynthesis of rosaramicin.
摘要:
Five protein families cooperate to form the warhead structure that characterizes enediyne compounds, both chromoprotein enediynes and non-chromoprotein enediynes. The protein families include a polyketide synthase and thioesterase protein which form a polyketide synthase catalytic complex involved in warhead formation in enediynes. Genes encoding a member of each of the five protein families are found in all enediyne biosynthetic loci. The genes and proteins may be used in genetic engineering applications to design new enediyne compounds and in methods to identify new enediyne biosynthetic loci.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and system for identifying a secondary metabolite synthesized by a target gene cluster within a microorganism. A putative or confirmed function is attributed to a gene within the gene cluster, and an extract from the microorganism is obtained which is suspected to contain the secondary metabolite synthesized by the gene cluster. The extract is then assessed for chemical, physical or biological properties, and the metabolite is identified and optionally isolated. Further, the invention provides a knowledge repository in which gene cluster information is linked to secondary metabolite production data. The invention further relates to a graphical user interface for accessing the knowledge repository, and a memory for storing data, having a data structure that is stored in the memory.
