Abstract

The study of natural products provides exciting opportunities for the discovery of novel biologically active molecules and biosynthetic pathways. Recently, Yuan and colleagues described 30 cyclic depsipeptides that are biosynthesized by proteins encoded by three distinct gene clusters in the marine fungus, Beauveria felina. Genetic and biochemical studies confirmed the involvement of nonribosomal peptide synthetases in the production of multiple compounds, some of which inhibit Zika virus replication.
