Illuminating the Diversity of Aromatic Polyketide Synthases in <i>Aspergillus nidulans</i>
17 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Genome sequencing has revealed that fungi have the ability to synthesize many more natural products (NPs) than are currently known, but methods for obtaining suitable expression of NPs have been inadequate. We have developed a successful strategy that bypasses normal regulatory mechanisms. By efficient gene targeting, we have replaced, en masse, the promoters of nonreducing polyketide synthase (NR-PKS) genes, key...
