Genomics‐Driven Discovery of Burkholderic Acid, a Noncanonical, Cryptic Polyketide from Human Pathogenic <i>Burkholderia</i> Species
10 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Biosynthetic secrets unveiled: Targeted promoter exchange in a cryptic biosynthesis gene cluster conserved among certain pathogenic Burkholderia species yielded a highly unstable, structurally unprecedented polyketide, burkholderic acid (1). Labeling experiments, gene knock-outs, and bioinformatics analyses grant first insights into a fascinating polyketide pathway. BurA is an unusual nonribosomal peptide...
