Recurrent adenylation domain replacement in the microcystin synthetase gene cluster
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microcystins are small cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by a range of distantly related cyanobacteria. Microcystins are synthesized on large NRPS-PKS enzyme complexes. Many structural variants of microcystins are produced simulate...
