Overproduction, purification and characterization of FgaPT2, a dimethylallyltryptophan synthase from Aspergillus fumigatus.
A putative dimethylallyltryptophan synthase gene, fgaPT2, was identified in the genome sequence of Aspergillus fumigatus. fgaPT2 was cloned and overexpressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The protein… Expand

NovG, a DNA-binding protein acting as a positive regulator of novobiocin biosynthesis.
The biosynthetic gene cluster of the aminocoumarin antibiotic novobiocin contains two putative regulatory genes, i.e. novE and novG. The predicted gene product of novG shows a putative… Expand

Identification of a Hybrid PKS/NRPS Required for Pseurotin A Biosynthesis in the Human Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
The genome sequence of Aspergillus fumigatus revealed the presence of a single hybrid polyketide synthase–non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS/NRPS) gene that is present within a cluster of five… Expand

Production of 8'-halogenated and 8'-unsubstituted novobiocin derivatives in genetically engineered streptomyces coelicolor strains.
In the present study, we produced a hybrid antibiotic, carrying a chlorine atom instead of a methyl group at position 8 of the aminocoumarin moiety of novobiocin. This compound was not accessible by… Expand

Biosynthetic Pathways of Ergot Alkaloids
Ergot alkaloids are nitrogen-containing natural products belonging to indole alkaloids. The best known producers are fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, e.g., Claviceps, Epichloë, Penicillium and… Expand

Resistance Genes of Aminocoumarin Producers: Two Type II Topoisomerase Genes Confer Resistance against Coumermycin A1 and Clorobiocin
ABSTRACT The aminocoumarin resistance genes of the biosynthetic gene clusters of novobiocin, coumermycin A1, and clorobiocin were investigated. All three clusters contained a gyrBR resistance gene,… Expand
