Abstract:The often complex control of bacterial natural product biosynthesis typically involves global and pathway-specific transcriptional regulators of gene expression, which often limits the yield of bioactive compounds under laboratory conditions....
“…Modification of a key redox tailoring enzyme by an N -acetyltransferase has been shown to control metabolic flux during the biosynthesis of rubromycin polyketides such as griseorhodin A 26 . 21 The acetyl-CoA-dependent acetyltransferase GrhJ activates a flavoprotein monooxygenase GrhO6 allowing fast formation and release of its 5,6-spiroketal product. The biosynthetic mechanism for production of an aromatic resorcylic ring by a type 1 PKS has been elucidated by in vitro enzymatic production of the polyketide antibiotic pyoluteorin 27 .…”
A personal selection of 32 recent papers is presented covering various aspects of current developments in bioorganic chemistry and novel natural products such as hyperispirone A from Hypericum beanii.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
