Project description:description Blastocystis sp. is a highly prevalent anaerobic eukaryotic parasite of humans and animals. The genome of several representatives has been sequenced revealing specific traits such as an intriguing 3’-end processing of primary transcripts. We have acquired a first high-throughput proteomics dataset on the difficult to cultivate ST4 isolate WR1 and detected 2,761 proteins. We evidenced for the first time by proteogenomics a functional termination codon derived from transcript polyadenylation for seven different key cellular components.
Project description:Identification of two novel 30-membered glycosylated macrolides, epemicins A and B from the rare Kutzneria sp. CA-103260 with formulas C70H122N2O27 and C76H132N2O32. We also provide data on the successful heterologous expression of epemicin A in S. albus J1074 and on the abolishment of the production of the compounds via the generation of a knockout strain.
