Metabolite Identification
Common Name(1'S)-averantin
Description(1'S)-averantin is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides, specifically a type of aflatoxin precursor. Chemically, (1'S)-averantin is synthesized through a series of enzymatic reactions involving polyketide synthases. In the biosynthetic pathway, it is produced from the precursor compound averufin, with the enzyme AflD catalyzing this transformation. Additionally, (1'S)-averantin plays a role in the production of other significant metabolites, including aflatoxin G2 and O-methylsterigmatocystin, which are catalyzed by the enzyme AflP. The pathway is intricately linked to the metabolic processes in certain fungi, particularly Aspergillus species, where the deletion of the sucB gene has been shown to lead to an increase in the levels of (1'S)-averantin as well as other related compounds such as (1'S, 5'S)-averufin, demonstrating the interconnected nature of these biosynthetic routes (PMID:40679121 ).
