Activation of silent biosynthetic gene clusters using transcription factor decoys

Here we report a transcription factor decoy strategy for targeted activation of eight large silent polyketide synthase and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters, ranging from 50 to 134 kilobases in multiple streptomycetes, and characterization of a novel oxazole family compound produced by...

description Here we report a transcription factor decoy strategy for targeted activation of eight large silent polyketide synthase and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters, ranging from 50 to 134 kilobases in multiple streptomycetes, and characterization of a novel oxazole family compound produced by a 98-kb biosynthetic gene cluster. Due to its simplicity and ease, this strategy can be readily scaled up for discovery of natural products in streptomycetes.
