This invention provides detailed sequence analysis and characterization of the gene cluster responsible for the synthesis of leinamycin in Streptomyces atroolivaceus. The leinamycin gene cluster provides a hybrid polyketide synthase/nonribosomal peptide synthetase pathway. Elucidation of the various modules and enzymatic domains characterizing the pathway provides convenient synthetic routes for leinamycins, leinamycin analogs, and various other polyketides, peptides, and hybrid peptide-polyketide natural products.

The present invention generally provides an electro-chemical deposition system that is designed with a flexible architecture that is expandable to accommodate future designs rules and gap fill requirements and provides satisfactory throughput to meet the demands of other processing systems. The electro-chemical deposition system generally comprises a front-end loading station, a mainframe including one or more processing cells, and an electrolyte replenishing system fluidly connected to the one or more electrical processing cells. The electrolyte replenishing system comprises a main electrolyte supply tank and an analyzer module and dosing module coupled thereto. The analyzer module includes one or more chemical analyzers to monitor the concentrations of various chemicals in the main electrolyte supply tank. Information provided by the analyzer module is transmitted via a central control system to the dosing module. Source tanks in the dosing module communicate with the main supply tank to deliver the desired proportions of chemicals thereto. Preferably, the electrolyte analysis is performed continuously during processing to provide real-time data and electrolyte adjustments.

The present invention relates to the cloning and sequence of a biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces platensis that produces platensimycin and platencin. Also provided are engineered micro-organisms for the production of these compounds, and analogs thereto, as well as methods of screening for compounds with anti-bacterial activity.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of modifying a biological molecule by C—O bond formation utilizing a type II polyketide synthase (PKS) system from the nonactin biosynthesis gene cluster. The type II PKS responsible for biosynthesis of the macrotetralide nonactin includes polypeptides encoded by the nonJK genes. The NonJ and NonK polypeptides have been identified by the inventors as ketoacyl synthases capable of directly catalyzing C—O bond formation between substrate molecules. This invention increases the scope and diversity of chemical syntheses available for drug design and combinatorial biosynthesis.

The present invention relates to TG-25 and/or analogs thereof and their use of TG-25 in the treatment of cancer. TG-25 inhibits the growth of prostate cells by inhibiting DNA synthesis, more particularly by DNA cleavage.
摘要:
The present invention provides for fusion proteins that act as targeted drug carries. The proteins are derived from molecules that possess natural drug-binding capabilities that are further engineered to target specific cell types, and optionally to have altered/improved drug binding characteristics. These fusion proteins are useful in, for example, delivery of chemotherapeutic compounds to cancer cells.
