摘要

Filamentous fungi produce a multitude of bioactive natural products, which cover a broad range of useful pharmaceutical activities. Many of these compounds were discovered by traditional natural product screening approaches and have found various applications in modern medicine. Through recent whole-genome sequencing projects, however, we become increasingly aware that the biosynthetic potential of microorganisms is much higher than expected. In many cases, the number of putative biosynthetic genes of fungi and bacteria is not reflected by the metabolic profile observed under laboratory culture conditions. Several gene loci encoding diverse metabolic pathways seem to lack expression in the absence of particular physical or chemical stimuli. Mining the genome of Aspergillus nidulans for putative biosynthesis gene clusters revealed biosynthetic abilities for the production of up to 28 polyketides and 24 nonribosomally synthesized peptides. However, this abundance of gene clusters clearly outnumbers the known secondary metabolites of this fungus. To gain access to this untapped reservoir of potentially bioactive natural products, various strategies to induce the expression of silent genes have been developed. Important recent examples involve the ectopic expression of a regulatory gene, the induction of a transcription activator by promotor exchange, as well as modulation of the epigenetic regulation of biosynthetic genes at the chromatin level.
