Abstract
3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,5-DHBA), biosynthesized by type III PKS and tailoring enzymes, is an unconventional starter unit for bacterial type I PKS. Genome mining of 3,5-DHBA-specific biosynthetic gene clusters could lead to discovering new type I/type III PKS hybrids. Herein, we report the discovery and characterization of atypical compounds, namely cinnamomycin A-D, exhibiting selective antiproliferative activity. The biosynthetic pathway of cinnamomycins was proposed based on genetic manipulation, enzymatic reaction, and precursor feeding.
