Discovery of a Pederin Family Compound in a Nonsymbiotic Bloom-Forming Cyanobacterium
23 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
The pederin family includes a number of bioactive compounds isolated from symbiotic organisms of diverse evolutionary origin. Pederin is linked to beetle-induced dermatitis in humans, and pederin family members possess potent antitumor activity caused by selective inhibition of the eukaryotic ribosome. Their biosynthesis is accomplished by a polyketide/nonribosomal peptide synthetase machinery employing an...
