Abstract

The present invention relates to the base sequence of whole genes involved in the biosynthesis of FR-008 polyketides derived from Streptomyces sp. FR-008. This base sequence comprises genes coding for ketosynthase (KS), acyl transferase (AT), acyl carrier protein (ACP), ketoreductase (KR), dehydratase (DH) and enoyl reductase (ER) domains, and genes coding for modifier enzymes, such as ABC transporter, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, ferredoxin, thioesterase, sugar synthetic protein, FAD-dependent monooxygenase, 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate (ADC) synthase and ADC lyase. The gene base sequence according to the present invention can be used to increase the productivity of the existing FR-008 polyketides or produce new FR-008 polyketides, through modification of its parts.
