Abstract
Gene duplication significantly contributes to the diversification of biosynthetic potential and increases the structural diversity of secondary metabolites. Here, we report the second alkyl salicylaldehyde derivative biosynthetic gene cluster in Penicillium roqueforti, being responsible for the formation of ethanolamine-containing derivatives. Heterologous expression and feeding experiments provided evidence for their formation via collaboration and modification with one cytochrome P450 and two flavin-containing monooxygenases in a highly ordered manner before and after ethanolamine incorporation.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
