Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Peptide natural products are promising source for antibiotics. Therefore, discovery of novel natural peptide natural products is important for drug development. In this research, we aimed to discover novel peptide natural products based on genome mining and heterologous expression of Aspergillus oryzae. Genome mining enabled us to find a biosynthetic gene cluster that may code novel natural depsipeptide in a Chaetomium fungi. Reconstruction of the cluster in Aspergillu oryzae gave us a novel depsipeptide as expected. The structure of the depsipeptide was fully determined by spectral analyses and chemical conversion approach.
