Characterization of a novel type of oxidative decarboxylase involved in the biosynthesis of the styryl moiety of chondrochloren from an acylated tyrosine.

Abstract excerpt

Myxobacteria are soil-dwelling bacteria notable for several unique behavioral features, such as cellular movement by gliding and the formation of multicellular fruiting bodies. More recently they have gained recognition as producers of several unique polyketide and nonribosomal polypeptide metabolites with potential therapeutic value. The biosynthesis of these compounds often involves highly unusual mechanisms...
