Summary The control of secondary production in streptomycetes involves the funneling environmental and physiological signals to cluster‐situated (transcriptional) regulators ( CSRs ) biosynthetic genes. For some systems, binding products CSR has been shown provide negative feedback. Here we show for lidamycin C ‐1027), a clinically relevant antitumor agent, by S treptomyces globisporus that feedback can extend point higher regulatory cascade. We DNA ‐binding activity . orthologue AtrA ,...
A hybrid trans-AT PKS/NRPS gene cluster htm was identified with defined boundaries for hangtaimycin biosynthesis in Streptomyces spectabilis CPCC200148. Deoxyhangtaimycin, a new derivative of hangtaimycin, from the htm11 knockout mutant. In vitro biochemical assays demonstrated that cytochrome P450 monooxygenase Htm11 responsible stereoselective hydroxylation deoxyhangtaimycin to hangtaimycin. More importantly, showed activity against influenza virus at micromolar level, highlighting its...
AntiSMASH analysis of genome DNA Streptomyces CPCC 204980, a soil isolate with potent antibacterial activity, revealed gene cluster for polycyclic xanthones.
