A Shared Biosynthetic Pathway for Botcinins and Botrylactones Revealed through Gene Deletions

Abstract: Isotopic labelling experiments and the study of mutants with disrupted genes encoding botcinic acid have revealed a common link in the biosynthesis of the polyketide toxins excreted by Botrytis cinerea: botcinins and botrylactones. Furthermore, the results reported here shed light on the origin of the starter unit, thereby solving a long-standing mystery in the biosynthesis of botcinins.

“…Furthermore, there are several elements that are clearly involved in this interaction. These include BOT exogenously added or produced by B05.10, Botcs added to the medium or produced by bcbot2Δ , HA produced by Ta37, other SMs produced by B05.10 (botcinic acid, Moraga et al ., ; botrylactones, Massaroli et al ., ) and Ta37 (aspinolides, Malmierca et al ., ), and the hydrolytic enzymes and signalling molecules generated in the interaction zone that can act as signals even far away from the confrontation region. The cross‐pathway interactions established between these SMs, together with the hydrolytic enzyme activity, observed in the present work, and with the ability of HA to inhibit the germination of B. cinerea spores (Malmierca et al ., ), contribute to explain why T. arundinaceum is able to overcome and suppress the virulence mechanisms exhibited by the pathogen.…”

“…[14][15][16][17] Botcinins 18 originated through poliketide biosynthetic pathway. 19,20 Gene silencing studies have shown that blockade of one toxin metabolic pathway does not completely eliminate the pathogenicity of the fungus, due to the metabolic switch to another fungal toxin pathway. 21,22 At the same time, genomic studies have been unraveling the complex metabolic potential of this versatile phytopathogen, showing that the genome of B. cinerea comprises 45 genes encoding secondary metabolites key enzymes including 22 polyketide synthases (PKSs), 8 non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), 5 PKS/NRPS, six sesquiterpene cyclases (STCs), three diterpene cyclases (DTCs) and one dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase (DMATS).…”

“…These are the botrylactones, and the botcinic and botcineric acids with their cyclic relatives, the botcinins. 3 The structure, 3,4-dihydroxy-2,4,6,8-tetramethyldec-8-enolide (1), has been assigned to a metabolite which was isolated from a mutant strain of B. cinerea. This structure ( Fig.…”
