Caerulomycin and collismycin antibiotics share a trans-acting flavoprotein-dependent assembly line for 2,2’-bipyridine formation

Caerulomycins and collismycins are two types of 2,2’-bipyridine natural products that are biosynthesized via a hybrid NRPS-PKS pathway, but the details of their biosynthesis were unknown. Here, the authors elucidate their biosynthetic pathways, validate the generality of 2,2’-bipyridine formation, a...
