Metabolite Identification
Common NameGibepyrone A
DescriptionGibepyrone A is a 2H-pyran-2-one belonging to the chemical class of polyketides. It is produced by the rice pathogenic fungus Fusarium fujikuroi, where it plays a role in various biosynthetic pathways. The biosynthesis of gibepyrone A is primarily facilitated by the polyketide synthase PKS13 (Gpy1), which synthesizes the compound from polyketide precursors, as evidenced by feeding experiments that ruled out a terpenoid origin (PMID:27856636 ). Following its synthesis, gibepyrone A can undergo oxidation by non-clustering cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, leading to the formation of derivatives such as prolipyrone B (PMID:30200525 ). Additionally, the production of gibepyrone A is influenced by the Gpy2 protein, which appears to have a minor role in its efflux from the fungal cells (PMID:27856636 ). The compound has been isolated in small amounts from hexane soluble fractions (PMID:37168123 ) and can be produced in larger quantities using specific mutant strains of the fungus (PMID:31344458 ). Overall, gibepyrone A and its derivatives are significant in the metabolic pathways of Fusarium fujikuroi, potentially serving protective functions against toxic metabolites.
