Metabolite Identification
Common NameCryptomaldamide
DescriptionCryptomaldamide is a hybrid tripeptide belonging to the class of natural products. Its chemical structure is derived from a complex biosynthetic pathway that involves a 28.7 kb gene cluster identified in the marine cyanobacterium Moorea producens. This compound was successfully expressed in model strains, with high-titer production achieved in Anabaena, while other strains like Synechococcus elongatus did not yield cryptomaldamide (PMID:33180461 ). The isolation and characterization of cryptomaldamide were accomplished using mass spectrometry (MS) and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR), revealing its unique constituents and confirming its structure through various spectroscopic and chromatographic methods (PMID:28448144 ). Additionally, the use of MALDI-MS with heavy-isotope-labeled precursors has proven effective in analyzing the natural product metabolome, further elucidating the pathways involved in cryptomaldamide biosynthesis (PMID:28885833 ). Bioinformatic analysis of the draft genome sequence has provided insights into the genetic basis for its production, highlighting the intricate biochemical processes that contribute to the formation of this intriguing metabolite (PMID:28448144 ).
