Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: Overview and recommendations for a universal nomenclature

Paul G. Arnison, +65 more
TL;DR: This review presents recommended nomenclature for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a rapidly growing class of natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster.

Marnix H. Medema, +164 more
TL;DR: This work proposes the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard, to facilitate consistent and systematic deposition and retrieval of data on biosynthetic gene clusters.

Polyketide biosynthesis beyond the type I, II, and III polyketide synthase paradigms : A progress report

TL;DR: The archetypical polyketide synthases (PKSs), known as type I, II, and III PKSs, have accounted for the vast structural diversities embodied by polyketides natural products, but recent progress in polyketid biosynthesis clearly suggests much greater diversity for PKS mechanism and structure as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genomics-guided approach for discovering and expressing cryptic metabolic pathways.

TL;DR: It is shown that selective growth conditions can induce the expression of gene clusters involved in natural-product biosynthesis, suggesting that the range of enediyne natural products may be much greater than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthesis of the enediyne antitumor antibiotic C-1027.

TL;DR: C-1027 is a potent antitumor agent with a previously undescribed molecular architecture and mode of action and Manipulation of genes governing C-1027 biosynthesis allowed us to produce an enediyne compound in a predicted manner.
