چکیده مقاله:

Cyanobacteria are considered a promising source for new ‎pharmaceutical lead compounds and a large number of chemically diverse and ‎bioactive metabolites have been obtained from cyanobacteria. Despite of ‎several worldwide studies on prevalence of NRPSs and PKSs among the ‎cyanobacteria, none of them included Iranian cyanobacteria of Kermanshah ‎province. Therefore, the aim of this study was to amplify the NRPS and PKS ‎genes. These stains were the most frequent species of that zone. The DNA ‎sequences of the 16s rRNA region were determined and the strains were named ‎as Scytonema sp. N11, Calothrix sp. N42 and terrestrial Nostoc SP. N66). ‎Lastly, to show that the presence of these genes correlates with natural product ‎synthesis, we conducted biochemical assays to detect the presence of ‎antimicrobial effects in organic extracts. The results of these experiments ‎suggest that both NRPS and PKS genes are presence in all three strains. ‎Finally the sequences presented in this study have been deposited in GenBank ‎for getting the accession numbers (NRPS A domains) and (PKS KS domains). ‎According to these results, it is concluded that the antibiogram bioassay and ‎molecular detection of peptide synthetase and polyketide synthase genes in ‎cyanobacterial strains may be useful techniques for the assessment of natural ‎product -producing species and possible role of peptide synthetase and ‎polyketide synthase enzyme complexes in the biosynthesis of biologically ‎active compounds.‎

Detection and Relation of Polyketide Synthase (PKSs) Genes With Antimicrobial Activity in Terrestrial Cyanobacteria of Lavasan

Background and Aims: Cyanobacteria are considered as favorable source for new pharmaceutical compounds. To date, the majority of bioactive metabolites isolated from cyanobacteria are either polyketides (PKSs) or non-ribosomal peptides. Despite of several worldwide studies on prevalence of PKSs, none of them included the terrestrial cyanobacteria of the Lavasan. Therefore, this study aimed to de...

Comprehensive Analysis of Polyketide Synthase Families

Polyketides (PKs) are a class of natural products (secondary metabolites) from bacteria, fungi, and plants, including many clinically important drugs such as tetracycline, daunorubicin, erythromycin, rapamycin and lovastatin [1, 4]. They have a large diversity of biological activities and pharmacological properties such as antibiotic, anticancer, antifungal, antiparasitic, cytostatic, and immun...

On the presence of peptide synthetase and polyketide synthase genes in the cyanobacterial genus Nodularia.

Nodularin is a hepatotoxin produced by the bloom-forming cyanobacterial species Nodularia spumigena. Putative peptide synthetase and polyketide synthase genes were detected in toxic strains of Nodularia by degenerate PCR. Using specific primer sets, peptide synthetase and polyketide synthase gene homologues were detected in nodularin-producing strains indicating a possible role of peptide synth...
