Abstract excerpt
Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides, a widespread pathogen of corn. Although the gene cluster for the biosynthesis of fumonisins has been cloned, the majority of the genes have not been biochemically characterized. Here, we report the biochemical characterization of FUM13, a gene that encodes a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase required for fumonisin biosynthesis. FUM13 has been...
