The invention discloses
cloning, sequencing, analysis, function study and application of a
biosynthesis gene cluster of a novel anti-microbial and anti-tumor compound WSS2277 in the field of biotechnologies. The
gene cluster comprises
nucleotide sequences of twenty-one genes or complementary sequences which are formed by the sequences 1, wherein the fourteen genes including siaA, siaB1, siaB2, siaC, siaD, siaE, siaF, siaG, siaH, siaI, siaJ, siaK, siaL and siaM are responsible for the synthesis of a
carbon skeleton, and the seven genes incluidng siaN, siaO, siaP, siaQ, siaR, siaS and siaT are responsible for regulating
biosynthesis. The information of the genes which are related to the
biosynthesis of the WSS2277 is provided by the invention, and a foundation is provided for the study and the genetic modification of the biosynthesis of the WSS2277. A novel structural analogue can be generated through the modification of
carbon skeleton synthesis genes in the WSS2277, and the yield of the WSS2277 or a derivative thereof can be provided through the interruption or the high replication of
regulator genes in the WSS2277. The genes and proteins, which are provided by the invention, can also be used for searching and discovering compounds or genes and proteins, which can be applied to the fields of
medicine, industry or
agriculture.
