摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) One gene, isnA, encodes the enzyme that converts the precursor amine functionality of tryptophan into the isocyanide moiety. The isolation and characterization of the isocyanide-containing environmental-DNA-derived antibiotic 1, its biosynthetic genes (isnA and isnB), and the general outline of the biosynthesis of 1 via intermediate 2 are presented (see scheme). © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
