Fig. 4: Discovery and characterization of the sis BGC family.

a The sis BGC, structure of sistertide A1 and suggested structure of sistertide A2, and antibacterial potential of S. albus/pCZSIS crude extract. The AviMeCys motif is shown in pink. D-amino acids are shown in red. Other noncanonical amino acid are shown in blue. b The keb BGC. c UPLC-HRMS analysis of Streptomyces kebangsaanensis DSM42048 wild-type strain (i), S. albus/pCZKEB (ii, heterologous expression of keb BGC) and S. albus/pJTU2554 (iii, empty vector). d Suggested structures of kebanetides. e Bioactivity of kebanetides against M. luteus. f Chimeric precursor with the maturase from keb BGC. g UPLC-HRMS analysis of new-to-nature analog from construct keb-syn2.
