Abstract
Evolving biosynthesis: Genome mining of the marine bacterium "Salinispora pacifica" has led to the discovery of the new proteasome inhibitor, salinosporamide K. Analysis of its biosynthetic gene cluster revealed a loss of gene function in relation to the salinosporamide A biosynthetic locus of Salinispora tropica that accounts for the structural differences in the two natural products.
