Biosynthesis of Cyclic Peptides and Depsipeptides in NOSTOC SP ATCC 53789

The cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. ATCC53789 produces two interesting families of natural products: the cryptophycins and the nostocyclopeptides. The structures of the cryptophycins, a class of tumor-selective cytotoxins, suggest the involvement of both peptide synthetases and polyketide synthases in the...
