Uncovering the diversity and distribution of biosynthetic gene clusters of prochlorosins and other putative RiPPs in marine Synechococcus strains

ABSTRACT Picocyanobacteria can synthesize a distinctive class of lanthipeptides referred to as prochlorosins. They are classified within the Nif11 family and are subject to post-translational modifications by a solitary promiscuous enzyme from the ProcM group. Their biological function is unknown bu...
