α-Pyrone Derivatives from Calcarisporium arbuscula Discovered by Genome Mining

A highly reducing polyketide synthase (HRPKS) gene cluster from the genome of was identified through genome mining. Heterologous expression of this cluster led to the production of four new α-pyrone compounds, calcapyrones A ( ) and B ( ), along with their biosynthetic intermediates calcapyrones C (...

Description
Summary:A highly reducing polyketide synthase (HRPKS) gene cluster from the genome of was identified through genome mining. Heterologous expression of this cluster led to the production of four new α-pyrone compounds, calcapyrones A ( ) and B ( ), along with their biosynthetic intermediates calcapyrones C ( ) and D ( ). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic experiments, and the absolute configurations of the 7,8-diol moieties in and were assigned using Snatzke's method. The biosynthetic pathway of and was established through and experiments.
