Metabolite Identification
Common NameHexadehydroastechrome
DescriptionHexadehydroastechrome is a nonribosomal peptide belonging to the class of secondary metabolites. Its chemical structure is derived from tryptophan and is known to form an iron (III) complex, which may play a role in various biological pathways. Research has indicated that hexadehydroastechrome is produced through the regulation of the neosartoricin B biosynthetic gene cluster, with the transcription factor NsdD playing a significant role in this regulatory process (PMID:40985688 , PMID:39964163 ). Additionally, it has been identified alongside other metabolites, such as gliotoxin, in studies linking its presence to the virulence of certain strains of fungi (PMID:39232082 , PMID:38496489 ). The identification of hexadehydroastechrome, along with other metabolites, was facilitated by transcriptional profiling of a ΔlaeA mutant, highlighting its importance in secondary metabolism (PMID:38667937 ). Furthermore, its involvement in the production of various fungal toxins underscores its relevance in the biochemical landscape of pathogenic fungi (PMID:39964163 ). Overall, hexadehydroastechrome exemplifies the intricate interplay between secondary metabolites and fungal biology.
