Metabolite Identification
Common Namenor-toralactone
Descriptionnor-toralactone is a polyketide, a class of compounds characterized by their complex structures formed through the polymerization of acetyl and propionyl units. It serves as an important intermediate in various biosynthetic pathways, particularly in fungi. In Aspergillus oryzae, nor-toralactone is a crucial metabolite in the biosynthetic pathway leading to viomellein, with its production linked to the sequential formation of semivioxanthin and vioxanthin (PMID:40197033 ). Additionally, nor-toralactone has been identified as a direct product of the polyketide synthase involved in cercosporin biosynthesis, which challenges previous biosynthetic models (PMID:26938470 ). This compound is also recognized as the key polyketide intermediate and substrate for the unusual didomain protein CTB3, highlighting its significance in the metabolic processes of certain fungal species (PMID:26938470 ). Overall, nor-toralactone exemplifies the intricate chemistry of polyketides and their roles in fungal metabolism.
